Must order: The Alligatore, calvados and Drambuie.
Tip: Danilo Argiolas opened it in 1993 and the terrace still fills at sunset; get there before 19:00 for a rampart table.
Address: Via Santa Croce 35, 09124 Cagliari
Sa Schironada on Via Baylle runs long hours for the Marina in Cagliari, Sardinian fish and roast plates and a crisp fritto misto from the Gulf.
Try: Culurgiones and fish
Order: Zuppa di cozze with pane carasau, then seadas.
Tip: Open every day and late, which makes it the fallback when the smaller trattorias in the Marina have shut their kitchens.
Francis Drake on Via Oristano is where Cagliari eats at three in the morning, a kitchen running to 05:00 with pizza, pasta and grilled plates.
Try: Pizza, pasta and grilled plates
Order: A pizza at an hour nothing else is open.
Tip: The kitchen runs to 05:00, which no other room in central Cagliari matches; expect a queue after 02:00.
Brinkhoff's grills late on Via del Pozzetto in Cagliari, a German beer hall of pretzels, steaks and grappa whose kitchen runs on until 02:00.
Try: Grill and pretzels
Order: A grilled steak with a stein of German beer.
Tip: The kitchen stays on until 02:00, which covers the gap after concerts and late films; there is an outdoor space for the warm months.
