Al Vecchio Borgo In Sassari

I stopped here for dinner because I was staying nearby. The upstairs dining room is small and cozy. The young woman who welcomed us, however, was less cheerful and a bit stiff about some of her movements. As soon as we entered, there was some fish on display, covered with a cloth that was removed when we entered. When we saw the menu, which was modest and different from what we'd seen online, she replied snidely that "we always change it." No potatoes or side dishes of that sort. So, very limited choice. Despite this, we ate very well, and the chef came into the dining room to say hello. This was greatly appreciated.

It's a small but super cozy place, we ate really well! The chef was not only talented but also super kind, you can tell he really cares. I highly recommend it 😍

The owner and waitress are kind and welcoming, although the waitress, who mostly stayed behind me, between my table and the kitchen, was a bit intimidating. That said, the ingredients are very fresh, but the fried foods leave much to be desired; they were unpleasant. I'm particularly interested in the calamari and cod fritters, €15 for six fritters with a sauce that somewhat covered the flavor, and unfortunately, I have to say the frying technique needs some work, especially since we got a stomach ache. The sweet and sour mussels had a sauce that overpowered the flavor of the mussels. The seafood tagliolini was a bit salty, the shrimp were very good, but €26 for a fried dish without the fish is excessive, as is the bill for the quality of the food.

A small, quiet restaurant with very good food, various wines and fresh fish or seafood.

100 points / 5 stars / food, service and ambiance top-notch / discovered this restaurant on my way home. The same menu in "Porto Cervo" is probably 3-5 times the price / antipasti/primi/water/coffee 40 euros. Wine depending on taste... Next stop when I'm in Sassari. Short walk from the center, safe return.

Amazing Italian food! We enjoyed a fish based antipasta which was delicious and a lot! Then we went for the mini pasta and seafood - and this was one great experience although I've managed to get myself covered in shell by my elbows. The bread - flat, toasted, was something of a dream. It could have been a dish itself. Great restaurant, great service - felt like a genuine Italian experience.

Welcoming place, very kind owners

A unique and unforgettable experience. Exquisite food, highly professional service, and a tranquil atmosphere. A very welcoming place, spotless down to the last detail. Don't hesitate to visit. I will definitely return.

Gavino and Lella are two excellent restaurateurs as well as good friends! The food is excellent and incredibly fresh, and the atmosphere is intimate and welcoming. Gavino transforms seasonal products into true masterpieces, delightful to look at and to taste! Compliments to all the staff. The experience is highly recommended! 🩷

An exceptional taste and aroma experience: Chef Gavino amazes with harmonious pairings and delicate, palate-pleasing flavors. The seafood appetizers are always original and revisited by the chef's expert hands. The freshest ingredients made the sublime linguine with sea urchins. Perfectly fried seadas, covered in an excellent cardoon honey, rounded out the Saturday lunch. The service was accommodating, with reasonable wait times between meals. The friendliness and price point balanced with the excellent products and culinary expertise have made this restaurant a favorite! I highly recommend it!
