Bar Ristorante Dietro Il Carcere

Wander just a bit outside the old town to this lovely restaurant where owner Gianni and his staff will make you feel like part of the family. Be sure to book in advance as it often gets packed, which is understandable given the excellent quality of the food and reasonable prices. Try the tuna risotto, steak and aubergine, or pasta filled with mint and Sardinian cheese.

Dining

Famed for its rock lobsters, Alghero is a treat for lovers of fresh fish and seafood, and its Catalan-Italian mix makes for some excellent and unusual dishes. Salami and pecorino (sheep milk cheese) are produced locally. Malloreddus, with sausage and tomato sauce, is the standard Sardinian pasta dish. Local honey appears on most desserts. Try gattò, made from almonds, honey and orange peel. The local red and white wines are excellent, too.
