Restaurants in Western Sardinia

  1. A

    Cocco e Dessì

    Smart, but not oppressively so, this is a popular modern restaurant. Well-dressed diners sit down to whopping pizzas and tasty, stylishly presented local food. Menu staples include polpi con patate (octopus with potato), served cold as an antipasto, and orata al vapore (steamed sea bream).

    Trattoria Gino

    An old-school neighbourhood trattoria, Gino has been serving tasty, no-nonsense food since the 1930s. The menu covers most bases, but it’s the seafood that really stands out. Start with risotto alla marinara (seafood risotto) before diving into chargrilled seppia (cuttlefish).

    Borgo Sant'Ignazio

    Hidden amid the web of lanes in the heart of the old town, Sant'Ignazio has a tastefully decorated dining area that's an enticing setting for typical Sardinian dishes. This is a good place to indulge in the earthy flavours of aubergines, mushrooms, ricotta and rich meat sauces.

    La Pulce Rossa

    A 20-minute walk from the centre, this friendly family-run restaurant serves filling working-man’s fare at decidedly untouristy prices. For a real gut-buster try the house speciality, pennette ‘Pulce Rossa’, a rich concoction of pasta, giant prawns, cream and saffron.

    Antica Trattoria del Teatro

    Located on a quiet elbow in the pedestrian area, opposite the theatre, the interior of this trattoria exudes subtle elegance. The menu includes vegetarian options such as tempura di pesce all'oriental (vegetable tempura) and a hearty minestrone.

    La Torre

    This place doesn’t look like much from outside; in fact, it’s not so amazing inside either. No matter, it serves the best pizza in town. If you’re off pizza but just want to enjoy the hectic atmo­sphere, there’s a full menu of pastas and grilled mains.

    Ristorante Craf

    A former 17th-century granary with vaulted dining rooms and folksy clutter. The menu includes a delicious panne frattau (Sardinian bread soup), fish dishes and, if you're game, asinello in padella al funghi (donkey with mushrooms).

    Sa Pischedda

    At the hotel of the same name, this is one of Bosa’s best restaurants. Speciality of the house is stylishly presented fish, both seawater and freshwater, but it also does excellent pizza and pasta. Reservations in summer are a good idea.

    La Grotta

    Every day you'll see the little truck arrive to deliver logs for La Grotta's wood-burning stove - the sign of a good pizzeria. It's only open in the evenings, when the cosy wooden interior fills with a laid-back clientele.

    Gelateria Pinna

    A great gelateria. Alongside all your favourite flavours are some lesser-known concoctions. Wine gelato is becoming a hit in Italy and here you can try the Passito di Sardegna Duchessa ice cream, an intoxicating cone.

    Ristorante Ponte Vecchio

    Has a delightful seating arrangement right on the river with views across to northern Bosa and the Ponte Vecchio. The pasta is good, as are some of the fresh fish options. Other seafood mains are not so great.

    Tatore

    This place dishes up whatever its owners find in the fish markets that day. Hardly surprisingly the seafood pasta is good, as is the zuppa di pesce (fish soup).

    Ristorante Barracuda

    Seeming like a suburban house, Barracuda is indeed a family operation. The emphasis is on seafood.

    Stop here for a panino in the shade.
