Restaurants in Olbia

  1. A

    Hotel Ristorante Gallura

    Unlike the hotel, the restaurant of the Gallura is absolutely top-notch. The menu reads like a dictionary of Gallurese dishes, and the waiters dash back and forth carrying intriguing platters of exotic food such as smoked cuttlefish with wild beetroot, fish cooked in a paste of courgette and ricotta, and rabbit in saffron. Go with the recommendations - it's all good.

    Lovely Rita Denza, the maestro behind it all, flits from table to table in her apron making sure her customers can navigate the multitude of choices. Reservations are essential.

    Ristorante da Paolo

    This place offers several variations on that favourite Sardinian theme, horse meat, alongside other more palatable Gallurese dishes. Gobble your choice up in the cosy atmosphere created by the exposed stone walls and timber ceilings.

    Zhanto

    Like a welcoming family home, Zhanto has good food and the bonus of a garden. There's an excellent choice of antipasti and some speciality pasta dishes - try the ravioli di mazzancolle (ravioli stuffed with king prawns).

    Barbagia

    Barbagia is one of the best spots in Olbia to get a taste of the traditional Sardinian cuisine of the interior. All sorts of odd names in Sardinian, which no amount of Italian will help you recognise, pop out of the menu at you.

    Antica Trattoria

    Welcome to antipasto heaven. Trays of marinated anchovies, vegetables in olive oil, creamy potato salad and a whole lot more, just sit there waiting to be eaten. There’s also excellent pizza, pastas and failsafe meat dishes.

    La Lanterna

    The Lanterna distinguishes itself with its cosy subterranean setting and beautifully fresh food. Start off with sweet-and-sour sardines and move on to almond-crusted bream served with a celery and pepper sauce.

    Osteria Compai Giuanni

    A hike from the centre, this unlikely looking spot is the place to come if you want to try splendid fish and seafood soups or the Gallurese speciality, suppa cuata.
