Restaurants in Sassari

  1. A

    Trattoria L'Assassino

    This trattoria is hidden away in a back alley off Piazza Tola. The more adventurous will step beyond the set meal and try a selection of 10 starters. These can include classics such as funghi arrosto (roasted mushrooms) and lumaconi (big snails). If you get really lucky you may find calf's testicles on the menu as well.

    Antica Posta

    A new venture on one of the busiest streets in the old town, this is a wine bar-cum-grill room of the 'industrial architecture' type. Unlike many places in Sassari, it serves modern Sardinian food such as grilled steaks and fillet of fresh fish, as well as some interesting pastas like fregola con funghi (pasta with mushrooms).

    Il Castello

    This wildly popular place serves monstrous portions of pasta and some justifiably famous meat platters. The most mind-blowing is the Chateaubriand steak (for two people), which arrives on its own trolley accompanied by a mountain of chips and grilled vegetables.

    Trattoria da Antonio

    Affectionately known as Lu Panzone (the Big Belly), this boisterous, old-school trattoria does a great line in homespun, no-nonsense food. Think antipasti of salami, ham and cheese followed by steaming portions of pasta and hunks of grilled meat.

    L'Antica Hostaria

    L'Antica enjoys a reputation as one of Sassari's top addresses. In intimate surroundings you are treated to inventive cuisine rooted in local tradition. Meat lovers should try the tagliata di manzo con rucola (thinly sliced beef with rocket).

    La Vela Latina

    This restaurant has a handful of tables in a nicely restored building and on the pleasant veranda. The menu changes with the seasons: there's lots of seafood (including good swordfish) in summer, and meats and mushrooms from autumn into winter.

    Trattoria Da Gesuino

    Hidden away in the newer part of town, Da Gesuino hits ­exactly the right tone. It’s relaxed but service is efficient, the interior is inviting and the food is excellent. Pizzas are always a good choice as is the delicious risotto.

    Florian

    This classic place has an unwaveringly authentic menu and an elegant dining area flanked by mirrors and stained glass. The adjacent café is similarly swanky, with Toulouse-Lautrec-style murals and girth-expanding cakes.

    Trattoria Da Peppina

    This scary local option is only for the adventurous. It specialises in Sassaresi cuisine - snails and (asinello) donkey meat. It's tucked into a messy side alley off the lower end of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II.

    Fainè alla Genovese Sassu

    This no-frills spot is the place to fill up on fainè, a cross between a pancake and pizza. There’s nothing else on the menu but with a wide range of toppings, you should find something to suit your tastes.

    Il Cenacolo

    Behind Il Cenacolo's modest entrance lies an opulent interior perhaps more in keeping with its previous life as a luxury gym. The emphasis here is on fish and seafood.

    Da Bruno

    On offer here is cheap pizza in a very ugly location. Da Bruno is also one of the few places to open on Sunday night.

    Zia Forica

    Here's another good spot for a lunchtime helping of donkey. Students treat it almost as a fast-food place.
