Trattoria Le Sette Teste
Vast plates of pasta (€9) are presented here like a dare, and meaty mains and chocolaty desserts pose serious threats to after-lunch sightseeing plans at the Palazzo della Ragione around the corner.

Aragon
A big bustling restaurant-cum-pizzeria just up from the seafront. It gets fairly hectic and the service isn’t exactly endearing but the wood-fired pizzas are superb and the pasta dishes are tasty and fresh.

Ristorante Pizzeria Al Castello
At the top of Carloforte, this is where locals come to get their pizza. A friendly, laid-back place with a spacious dining room and comprehensive menu, it’s well worth the short but steep climb to get here.

Cafe Lorenz
Head upstairs for a convivial drink (drinks and wine €2 to €5) or a light dinner. But the main reason to come here again and again: Lorenz sells takeaway olive all’ascolana (olives from Ascoli) for €3.

Gelateria Sottozero
Dawdle over a coffee or prosecco while checking out the chic-elite in town but don't leave without indulging in the best ice cream in Vieste. For a rich, fat, chocolate fix drown in the amarena.

Do Schogghiu
A very basic, family-run spaghetteria that serves up pasta a million different ways, with plenty of agreeable father-son banter in the background. Ask for the free aperitivo offered on the menu.

This boisterous pizzeria does the best pizza in Cagliari. Friendly waiters adroitly navigate the crowded barrel-vaulted interior to deliver bubbling pizzas straight from the wood-fired oven. Book or expect to queue.
