The Top 20 Places to Eat Near Frades La Terrazza
-
Rank 1. Frades La Terrazza
Sardinian Mediterranean
-
Rank 2. 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.

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.

Rank 4. 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.

Rank 5. 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.

Rank 6. Lu Pisantinu
Seafood
-
Rank 7. Mizuna Japanese Restaurant
Japanese
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.

Rank 8. Phi Restaurant
Italian Mediterranean
-
Rank 9. Deste
Modern Italian
-
Rank 10. Il Paguro
Mediterranean Seafood
-
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.
-
Rank 12. 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.

Rank 19. Bosco
Pizza
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.
