Rimanino
Thin, crispy pizzas come topped with everything from Gorgonzola and Sardinian sausage to sliced rosemary potatoes, while vintage-inspired interiors and old Italian tunes spinning on vinyl set the mood. From the owners of beloved Caffè Svizzero and Bacàn, Rimanino is the laid-back pizzabar locals come to for an easygoing evening over a few slices and a drink – and, as they say, when in Rome… or rather, Cagliari.
where to next?
Similarly to its beachside outpost, Antica Cagliari serves a refined take on traditional Sardinian cuisine, where seasonality and subtle innovation take centre stage. Grab a table outside in the heart of the charming Marina district and settle in for generous plates of seafood fregula. And if they're on the menu, don't miss the culurgiones served with carbonara sauce and crispy guanciale
From the minds behind nearby Corso Dodici, Ex Tipografia swaps the classic espresso-and-cornetto breakfast for a decidedly more indulgent international brunch: think maple syrup-drizzled pancakes, generous bagels and a very Italian plate of pan bauletto tostato, sausage, bacon, fried eggs, roasted mushrooms and Dolcesardo cheese. Set in a former printworks overlooking buzzy, locals-filled Piazza Yenne, it’s just as good come dinnertime. If asparagus or artichoke carbonara makes an appearance, order it without hesitation.
