Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Excellent staff, very personable and professional. Food was excellent and well presented. We were given a small stand alone table facing the ocean. Back ground music was perfect as well as the live on site entertainment. Highly recommend this place foe a romantic dinner by the ocean."
"Second time at this restaurant. Beach front, great location and view. Food was good, that’s why we returned. Mussels very fresh and tasty and vongole was superb."
"A very lovely place with delicious food and extraordinary service. You feel taken care of and you can just enjoy your time at the beach. Place is equipped with tiny gazebos and a beach terrace. Definitely recommend to visit."
"Very good food, but seemed very crowded and not too cozy. For some reason we were sat indoors however there was still plenty of space outside till the end of the evening. Update: stayed for a beach access - was so much surprised! Very pleasant atmosphere and complimentary water with fruits. Best beach in Poetto so far."
"We had a great day at the beach. We had the place (at least our corner) almost for ourselves. The couches and sun beds are super comfy. The staff was very kind (though as often in Sardinia not the most efficient), the menu is perfect for a beach club and what we had was very good."
"Holidaying in south west Sardinia from the U.K. in mid June 2022, we visited this restaurant for lunch. It is located in Quartu, east of Poetto. The venue is clean, well decorated, nice atmosphere and is magnificently located right by the beach. We were warmly welcomed to the restaurant. As it was a very warm day, we took a table inside the restaurant, which was nice and cool. We were looked after by Emmanuel - he was very pleasant and professional throughout. We started with a nice assortment of local breads and cold water. For the first course we had a fresh seafood platter with crab, prawns, mussels and oysters plus freshly made penne pasta with tender pieces of beef with herbs. For the second course we had pasta with clams plus deep fried mixed seafood mainly squid, prawns. We finished our meal with a non-alcoholic lime digestive, made by the restaurant bar. A big shout out to Emmanuel for looking out for us very well throughout. I strongly recommend you visit this restaurant - welcoming, clean, good atmosphere, nicely decorated, great location, nice food, exquisite service and good value.. I would suggest you try dishes food at antipasti, first course and second course to truly appreciate the great seafood experience."
"Service is some what decent,location couldn’t be better.. Pasta with seafood need enough seafood in it. Best atmosphere with live music made even special in all aspects."
"Very nice place. Looks expensive but is not actually. Presentation and taste of the food are very nice."
