"Came to Sardina on holiday with my partner. Ristorante Il Tamarindo was the best place we ate all week! Amazing service and the food was heavenly! We ordered octopus starter with burrata and gazpacho and the prawns in a pistachio crust with cream of parmesan and raspberry, spaghetti with prawns and the red tuna steak, liquorice creme brulee for dessert. I can’t recommend it enough, beautifully balanced flavors. We are still dreaming of it. They also had a great selection of wines! We just hope we get the chance to return one day!"

"This restaurant looked completely unassuming from the outside. It is on the hillside approach to the Basilica from the town of Sant’Antioco, and like many places in this part of the town it can be easily mistaken for a private residence. However, it should not be missed as their seafood menu is delightful and the service super-friendly and efficient. The restaurant is normally open in the evening from 19:30. It has 3 regularly changing set menus, meat, seafood and mixed, that consist of a antipasto dish and 2 further dishes (normally some kind of pasta and some kind of main focused on one particular ingredient). Each of these menus cost between 35-45 Euros and you can add a glass of local wine for a further 3 Euros. I had a truly inspiring meal that started with a luxuriously tasty and herby prawn tartare, followed by a mindblowing blue crab salad, ingeniously served in the crab shell. I had never had anything like this before and it really did maximise every ounce of natural flavour within the crab itself, making for a refreshing palate cleanser. My pasta dish was a local tuna and gnocchi dish, rich with vibrant tomato and caper flavours, which made for a hearty and homely centrepiece of the menu. The final dish some how managed to trump all that had come before. It was, like so much in this restaurant, a simple looking affair, which hid deceptive depths of perfectly balanced flavour. It was a cold monkfish salad, that comprised of slices of fresh monkfish marinated in a olive oil, salt and thyme, served with sweet tomatoes, bitter radicchio leaves, crisp red onion and drenched in lemon juice. It was as delicious a dish as I have tasted and well worth the visit alone. The space itself is a roomy taverna, with very clean and bright decor. The owners have a disarmingly quirky eye for little decorative details, with curling light fixtures, that dangled from the ceiling like gourd fruit and walls festooned with spectacles and slightly off-centre prints. It gave the space a real fun vibe, which was carried through in the service that was personable and attentive without ever once seeming forced. All in all this is a place well worth a visit, even if you are staying on the Sardinian mainland."

"Se avete voglia di un hamburger di qualità Boccadillls è il locale che fa per voi. Personalmente quello che mi ha colpito di più è la varietà di scelta sia per i panini che per le birre. La carne è di qualità e in alcuni panini i condimenti non sono eccessivi in modo da far esaltare la qualità dell’hamburger. Le porzioni sono talmente abbondanti che non serve prendere le patatine per saziarsi. I prezzi sono giusti e in alcuni piatti addirittura economici. Il personale è stato gentile e veloce nel servire. Il locale è molto bello perché si sviluppa su in dehor posizionato sul lungo mare."

"This restaurant has good potential with great fresh food and lovely patio near the sea. The staff was a bit all over the place though.. I was on holiday and didn’t mind the atmosphere, but I can understand some might find them too slow and slouchy. As an example, they give a complimentary basket of bread to all tables and we didn’t get one. Our plates and cutlery were taken away after the appetisers and they forgot to give us new cutlery when the main was served. When we finished our meal, no one asked if we wanted anything else such as dessert, coffee etc. The table next to us waited over an hour to get their food and had to ask twice. If it wasn’t for the food the review would have been so much lower."
