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.
