Local people tend to eat lunch (pranzo) from around 12.30–1 to 3pm and dinner (cena) 8–10pm or later. Most restaurants close one day a week, and this is often Monday when the fish markets are closed. However, closing days are staggered so you can always find somewhere open.

Where to Eat

Traditionally, ristoranti or restaurants are smarter and more expensive than trattorias, but these days there is little difference between the two. Like the rest of Italy, Sardinia has a proliferation of pizzerias, which are less expensive than restaurants and popular with families. The best ones use wood-fired ovens (forno a legna) but apart from Sundays, these are only open in the evenings. Some pizzerias double up as trattorias, offering three-course meals as well as pizzas. In the towns you can often find places serving cheap slices of pizza (al taglio). A tavola calda is a self-service or take-away, serving pasta, risottos, meat and vegetable dishes. The settings are unremarkable but costs are cut by the absence of service and cover charges. If all you want is a snack, stop at a bar or café. If you stand at the bar for panini (filled bread rolls) or tramezzini (crustless sandwiches, often with very generous fillings) instead of sitting on the terrace with waiter service, you will avoid service charges.
