Porto Cervo Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Porto Cervo
Once an exclusive retreat for the crème de la crème of society, Porto Cervo is still one of the world’s most luxurious resorts, but thanks to the 2004 opening of an airport in nearby Olbia, you don’t have to own a megayacht to vacation here. You do, however, need to realize this is definitely not a backpack-and-Eurail Pass destination. Designer boutiques, luxury spas, fine restaurants and exclusive nightspots abound.

Reviewed By Anna C
I went there based on the recommendation of TA. Candidly I do not understand why people rate the rest with 5 stars. The building is Ok. Quite a big one and interestingly designed with the boutiques o the ground floor. The meal is more than average. Duck carpaccio was not a carpaccio at all but rather fried slices of duck meat. It was tasty enough but I would call that as a green salad with few slices of duck. Mussels with beer - first, the portion with comparison to the other places is a half of what we usually have. Second, I did not understand where the beer is. Just a lot of olive oil. The main courses with the homemade pasta - again average. They pretend to be original but the performance is far from. Again the portion was lesser then usual. Conclusion - I will never return to that rest and will not recommend that to my friends.

Reliably excellent, family-owned with great staff (who speak English if you're Italian isn't great). The pizza is very high standard and their Sardinian specialities are even better. I had the costata which was perfectly cooked.
Excellent decor, easy parking too. We always feel at home when we eat here with friends.

Just finishing a wonderful lunch. Not too many high rated places in this area as we drove along the Smerelda Coast waiting for a ferry tonight. Nice atmosphere inside with good selection of pastas and seafood. After the pasta dish we had a selection of grilled fish and seafood with grilled vegetables. Everything well prepared and the service was warm and friendly. House wine, homemade desserts and cafe topped off a memorable lunch. Note: dog friendly. Our Maltese was welcome inside.

8. Aruana Churrascaria

Reviewed By Jessica r - Lugano, Switzerland
Indeed one of the most fashionable restaurant in costa smeralda this summer, always full of people (better to reserve a couple of days in advance), we got to wait 20 minutes to get the table even though we got a reservation.
The Buffet of side dishes was ok but nothing special, some of the veggies were also a bit too oily in my opinion.
The meat is served at the table in total Brazilian style.

I've been at Zamira Lounge for the first time five years ago and since then I love it to be pampered at this awesome Lounge Bar! The kindness and hospitality of the employees and the owner are absolutely fantastic! For the position, the professionalism and the beauty it's absolutely the best suggestion to have!

5 years ago I had the best culurgiones and tuna steak on the island in this restaurant.. was looking forward to revisiting today, but clearly the kitcken underwent some drastic changes.. we came in for a late lunch and found ourselves all alone on the Terrace. The staff was friendly and our food came very fast, no complaints about that.
The plates were beautifully decorated but with things that added no value to the dishes. My boyfriend ordered tuna steak that was way overdone. I had the culurgiones that came in a tasteless zuccini / scampi sauce of which we both questioned the freshness.
This was by far the biggest restaurant disappointment on our journey and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
