The Top 22 Places to Eat Near Bacchus


  1. Rank 2. Essenza Bistrot

    Modern Mediterranean


  2. Rank 3. Dulchemente

    Modern Seafood


  3. Rank 4. Il Portolano

    Mediterranean Seafood


  4. Rank 5. Gusto by Sadler

    Modern Mediterranean

    The dining room at this Michelin-starred restaurant inside the Baglioni Resort looks out over a manicured garden and pool, which sets the tone pretty well. The chef, Claudio Sadler, brings a modern Mediterranean fine dining menu that moves between classical and contemporary without making a fuss about it. A vegetarian tasting menu runs alongside the main offering. Resort guests in linen fill most tables, but the food is doing its own thing regardless.


  5. Rank 6. Il Fuoco Sacro

    Modern Mediterranean

    Perched inside the Petra Segreta resort above a garden with coastal views, this fine dining room earns its Michelin star with modern Mediterranean cooking built largely from what the hotel farm grows, raises, and ages on-site. Celebrity chef Enrico Bartolini oversees the menu, which keeps Sardinian scrubland as its north star. The setting is quietly spectacular, and the herbs alone will make you question every dish you've eaten before.


  6. Rank 7. Capogiro

    Modern Mediterranean

    The panoramic terrace at this fine dining restaurant faces west, so the Sardinian sunset does half the work before the food arrives. Set within the 7Pines resort above Baia Sardinia, Capogiro holds a Michelin star and runs modern Mediterranean tasting menus on refined local porcelain. The chef brings a Campanian sensibility to the island's larder, and the pasta, made with Gragnano dough, is a reason to linger over the à la carte.


  7. Perched above Porto Cervo's marina, this Michelin-starred fine dining room mixes mirrors, gold accents, and an open kitchen into something that feels glamorous without trying too hard. The chef runs two tasting menus, one of classics and one of new work, in lengths you can negotiate, or you can order à la carte and go straight for the caviar and raw seafood. Downstairs, the Bubble Bar handles aperitifs when you want the view without the commitment.


  8. Rank 9. Deste

    Modern Italian


  9. A small seafood restaurant perched above its own private beach club in Golfo Aranci, La Spigola serves modern Sardinian cooking built around whatever came off local boats. The dining room looks straight out over the water, and the sea does most of the decorating. The wine list is relaxed until the last few pages, where aged bottles from the 1970s and 80s appear as if someone forgot to stop collecting.


  10. A Japanese restaurant just outside San Pantaleo's village center, built on a premise that could easily go wrong: an Italian chef who learned his craft traveling the world, now pulling fresh Sardinian fish into sushi and gyoza in a quietly minimal room. The Italian-Japanese handshake extends to dessert, where mochi shares the table with Italian-inspired sweets. The Michelin Guide has it selected, and the logic tracks.


  11. Rank 12. Frades La Terrazza

    Sardinian Mediterranean


  12. Rank 13. Belvedere

    Mediterranean Seafood

    A fish display cabinet that changes with the catch each day sits at the center of this family-run seafood restaurant in Porto Cervo, where you pick what you want and the kitchen handles the rest. It's an informal room with a Mediterranean menu, run by two brothers whose easy professionalism keeps the place full. The new terrace lounge, with its view over the coastline, is where people linger long after the plates are cleared.



  13. Rank 15. Phi Restaurant

    Italian Mediterranean


  14. Rank 16. Il Paguro

    Mediterranean Seafood


  15. Rank 17. La Gritta

    Mediterranean Seafood


  16. A light, well-leavened dough is the whole argument at this pizzeria in the old center of Tempio Pausania, where the menu runs from straight classics to more composed, ingredient-led combinations. The room works as well inside as out, and the outdoor tables fill up fast on summer evenings, so booking ahead is a reasonable idea. It has earned a spot on the 50 Top Pizza Italy list of Excellent Pizzerias.


  17. Rank 19. Millo Ristorante

    Mediterranean


  18. A suckling pig turns on a spit inside a room built around a fireplace, and that image is basically the whole argument for this Sardinian restaurant in the rural interior near Oliena. The terrace looks out over vineyards and olive groves, the dining rooms are hung with local handicrafts, and the menu stays firmly inland, running through cured meats, pane frattau, kid with fennel, and house-made ice creams. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  19. Rank 21. Il Pescatore

    Mediterranean


  20. Rank 22. Sa Corte

    Sardinian
