Hours: Mon-Sat dinner; lunch also served in winter
Josto in Cagliari is Pierluigi Fais's Via Sassari dining room, an open kitchen working bottarga, mullet and Sardinian meat into minimal modern plates.

Luigi Pomata cooks Carloforte tuna in Cagliari, three rooms and a port-facing terrace above Viale Regina Margherita, raw fish to open and red tuna to follow.
Tip: Lunch service runs 13:00 to 15:00 Tuesday to Saturday and is the cheaper way in; tinned house tuna is sold to take home.
Da Marino al St. Remy ★ 4.5
Villanova · Via San Salvatore da Horta 7, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Mon-Sat 13:00-14:30, 20:00-22:30
Da Marino al St. Remy is Cagliari's small brick-walled seafood room by San Salvatore da Horta, run front of house by Marino Cogoni with Silvana Sardu cooking.

Sa Domu Sarda ★ 4.5
Stampace · Via Sassari 51, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Daily 12:30-15:30, 19:30-23:00
Sa Domu Sarda on Via Sassari is the Cagliari address for cucina regionale di terra, the inland Sardinian side of the island rather than the harbour.
Tip: Book for dinner, the two plain rooms fill with locals; the kitchen runs straight through from 12:30 and again from 19:30, seven days a week.
La Locanda dei Buoni e Cattivi ★ 4.4
Villanova · Via Vittorio Veneto 96, 09123 Cagliari
Hours: Mon-Sun 13:00-15:00; Mon-Sat 20:00-23:00
La Locanda dei Buoni e Cattivi in Cagliari is a villa restaurant and guest house that trains young staff, cooking seasonal organic Sardinian plates.
Tip: Weekday lunch runs a fixed-price menu alongside the carte; the garden and terrace are the reason to book ahead in spring.
Stella Marina di Montecristo ★ 4.4
Marina · Via Sardegna 140, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Mon-Sat 13:00-15:00, 20:00-23:00
Stella Marina di Montecristo works the far end of Via Sardegna in Cagliari, sixty covers of maritime kit and fish bought fresh that morning.
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.
Osteria Kobuta ★ 4.3
Marina · Vico Carlo Felice 12, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Mon 12:30-14:30, 19:30-22:30; Wed-Thu 12:30-14:30, 19:30-22:30; Fri-Sat 12:30-15:00, 19:30-23:00; Sun 12:30-15:00, 19:30-22:30
Osteria Kobuta cooks Japanese-Sardinian plates in Cagliari off Largo Carlo Felice, a seasonal menu built for sharing in a room of maybe ten tables.
Tip: Closed Tuesday, and the kitchen writes a new menu each season; WhatsApp booking is the fastest way to get a table.
Sa Schironada ★ 4.2
Marina · Via Baylle 39, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Daily 12:30-15:30, 19:00-23:59
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.
Tip: Open every day and late, which makes it the fallback when the smaller trattorias in the Marina have shut their kitchens.
Panefratteria ★ 4.2
Marina · Via Domenico Alberto Azuni 40, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Mon 12:30-15:00, 19:30-23:00; Wed-Sun 12:30-15:00, 19:30-23:00
Panefratteria builds its Cagliari menu on pane carasau, the sheet bread softened into pane frattau and zuppa gallurese in a modern room on Via Azuni.
Tip: Closed Tuesday; there is a garden at the back and the grappa and Sardinian wine list is longer than the food menu.
Trattoria da Serafino ★ 4.1
Marina · Via Lepanto 6, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Mon-Tue 12:00-15:00, 19:45-22:45; Thu-Sun 12:00-15:00, 19:45-22:45
Trattoria da Serafino works a corner of Via Lepanto in Cagliari, an air-conditioned room of local fish plates and a back room for long lunches.
Tip: Closed Wednesday; the private back room takes the business lunches, so the front fills with regulars.
Su Cumbidu ★ 3.7
Marina · Via Napoli 13, 09124 Cagliari
Hours: Daily 11:00-15:00, 19:00-23:59
Su Cumbidu on Via Napoli feeds the Marina fixed-price Sardinian menus under brick arches, culurgiones and seadas at prices Cagliari students accept.
Tip: The set menus are the value play at around €20 to 30; go early, because groups book out the arched back room.
