Must order: Whatever local fish is on the board that day.

Stella Marina di Montecristo works the far end of Via Sardegna in Cagliari, sixty covers of maritime kit and fish bought fresh that morning.
Order: Whatever came off the boats that morning, cooked simply.
Tip: It shuts for a variable stretch in August, and the sixty covers go fast in summer, so call the mobile number to hold a table.
Impasto works Piazzetta Savoia in Cagliari's Marina as pasta laboratory, pizzeria and bakery at once, rolling fresh pasta and baking bread daily.
Order: Fresh pasta from the counter, then a slice of the day's bread.
Tip: Named a Pizzeria Eccellente by 50 Top Pizza in 2026; the tables on the piazzetta are first come, first served in summer.

Pani e Casu sits on Via Santa Croce inside Cagliari's Castello walls, serving bread, pecorino and Sardinian home cooking a few metres from the ramparts.
