Ristorante Ai Monti del Gennargentu

Simply can’t recommend this place enough. Jaw-dropping location in the middle of the Sardinian countryside (we had to navigate goats and horses on the road!) with incredible local cuisine. The staff were super friendly and explained lots about what we were served - and Diana the German Shepperd walking around the compound is among the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met 😍

We stumbled upon this incredible restaurant by chance on our way home from Orgosolo and we couldn't be happier we did! It is a true gem of traditional Sardinian food, lovely hospitality and an authentic location in the middle of nature. Highly recommend!

Outstanding food with fresh local products, paired with great wine from the area. Everything prepared with great care and skill. Friendly and committed service. We'll come again.

The surrounding area is fun for kids. The food was ok, not more not less. Antipasti 4/10 pasta 9/10 steak 4/10 dessert 7/10.

Wow! We only had a midday meal here, unplanned…. The farm-style lunch you’ve been looking for. Every dish was better than the last. What a hidden gem!

Went out of our way to eat lunch after having read some good reviews. We called ahead to make sure they were open. They were open, but not very welcoming. The food was substandard. We had vitello arrosto, that was so chewy that I couldn’t cut it with a regular knife. Some dude from the staff sat down at the table next to us and turned on the TV to watch some Italian soap. In the end we got charged 120Euros for 3x basic kids pasta, plus two adults lunch menu; 20% more than we paid at the best places we ate on our trip. I just felt pulled over the table. On top of that, the food kept repeating itself all afternoon in my stomach. Worst experience on the entire trip.

We had an impromptu lunch at the restaurant Ai Monti del Gennargentu. The restaurant is very nicely located and offers a good selection of Sardinian food at a reasonable price.With the exception of the entree, all other dishes (home made ravioli, grilled veal and potatoes, dessert and digestif) are adequate, both in terms of portion and quality. Service is quite fast and friendly. The place is a bit rundown (especially the toilets), but, at the same time, you should not expect a Michelin-rated restaurant in the middle of the wildest spot in Sardinia.

This seems to be reviewed under both Albergo and Ristorante so I've put it in both||||After eating a great meal at Dai Monti Del Gennargentu in Nuoro we decided to try their restaurant in the mountains near Orgosolo. As they also have a few simple rooms to rent we stayed for 2 nights. We were travelling using public transport and people from the restaurant/B & B drove 5 km to pick us up in Orgosolo. ||The restaurant is on an isolated plateau in the Gennargentu range and was open for lunch and evening meals when we were there. It is surrounded by pasture land with sheep, cows and pigs roaming freely. The rooms are simple, no TV but who needs one when you have such beautiful surroundings, with a bath/jacuzzi.||The first day we had half board, which was an extra €30 per person for a 3 course meal plus dessert and a bottle of wine. I am vegetarian and we hadn’t given them any warning about this but they produced some lovely food. My anti-pasti included zucchini and aubergine in a beautifully light, crisp and tasty batter. Then came raviolone, which is one very large ravioli that has been baked, in a tomato sauce. I’ve never come across this before and thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions were all generous. The coffee was lovely and smoky. My carnivorous companion was extremely happy with her food, to put it mildly, but you’ll have to read her review for further details.||That evening, following the exertions of the day, I ate a beautiful plate of pasta with a tomato sauce, I couldn’t manage anything more after the earlier meal. The pasta is called lardos and is prepared 2 days in the year, and we were there on the Day of the Dead which is one of those days. They were round discs of pasta layered on a plate with the tomato sauce. Absolutely delicious.||Breakfast both days was coffee, juice, toast, jams etc with some home made cakes. We will definitely be going back to spend some more time on the top of that mountain to eat some really good food and listen to sheep bells.
