Gaijin Izakaya brings small Japanese plates to Cagliari on Via Giacomo Puccini, a narrow room of skewers and donburi that the Gambero Rosso guide rates.

OrderA run of skewers off the charcoal counter.

Why locals goA four-day-a-week izakaya in San Benedetto, off every Marina tourist route and rated by the Italian guides.

TipOnly four days a week, Wednesday to Saturday, and both sittings are small, so book ahead rather than walking up.

Il Birrificio di Cagliari ★ 4.0

€€ Brewery

Il Birrificio di Cagliari brews on Via Newton and pours its own beer beside grilled meat, the city's own brewpub rather than another bottle bar.

OrderThe house lager alongside the grilled beef.

Why locals goCagliari's own brewpub sits out by Via Newton, far enough from the centre that visitors rarely find the taps.

TipIt took a Barcelona Beer Challenge gold for its Tuvixeddu; it sits out by the ring road, so it is a taxi rather than a walk from the Marina.

Babeuf ★ 3.9

€€ Wine barVillanova

Babeuf pairs tea, wine and slow reading on Via Giardini in Cagliari, a small Villanova room of cheese boards, tartare and shelves of magazines.

OrderA tartare and a glass off the natural list.

Why locals goPart wine bar, part reading room on Via Giardini, the kind of Villanova address locals keep for slow evenings.

TipIt works better as a long early evening than a quick drink; the reading material on the shelves is there to be used.
