The Best Restaurants Near Li Lioni, by the Record

  1. Rank 1. Li Lioni

    Sardinian


  2. Rank 2. Osteria de' Mercati

    Seasonal Mediterranean



  3. Rank 4. Sa Mandra

    Sardinian

    The suckling pig goes on the spit before you sit down, which is your cue to arrive early and watch. This is a farm-restaurant on a working agriturismo outside Alghero, and the fixed menu builds toward that roast as its centerpiece, everything else on the table grown on the same land. The owners will walk you through every step if you ask, and most people ask. Rooms are available if you'd rather not drive back after.


  4. A father cooks while his son tends the room and the cellar, which gives Musciora the kind of focused intensity that usually takes a committee to ruin. This is a tasting-menu restaurant in Alghero built around Sardinian ingredients, offered across three menus: one from the sea, one from the hinterland, and one that folds both together. The wine list leans hard into small Sardinian producers and natural bottles from further afield.


  5. A compact modern Sardinian restaurant steps from Alghero's seafront, where the menu shifts between tasting routes named for roots, revolution, coast, and courtyard. Each path traces a different logic of the island, vegetables one way, local fish another, tradition a third. All wines pour by the glass, and the sommelier seems to genuinely enjoy being asked. The room is small enough that the kitchen's intentions land at the table without getting lost.
