Coxinendi In Sanluri

The Coxinendi restaurant, whose name recalls the Sardinian term for "cooking", is located in the charming village of Sanluri. Inserted in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant offers cuisine that combines Sardinian tradition and contemporary techniques, offering a tasting itinerary at a cost of €60 (drinks not included). The experience, which lasted approximately two and a half hours, was marked by well-calibrated timing, guaranteeing a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The amuse-bouche started the meal: a battered and fried mushroom accompanied by a simple but delicious red pesto. The starters ranged from a tasty beef tartare to a roasted octopus cooked to perfection, up to a basket of shortcrust pastry with chickpea pâté and an elegant garlic air, demonstrating a good search for balance in flavours. The first course was an intense duck broth, served with spaghetti, dried tomatoes and chard, which impressed with its depth and harmony. Next, the pork shank, tender and tasty, highlighted the rustic roots of Sardinian cuisine, while winking at more international influences. Finally, the desserts closed the menu in a satisfying way: a revisited pardula, homage to a traditional Sardinian dessert, and "Monteprama", a fruit puree enriched with chocolate, delicate and original. The dishes stood out for their quality and technique, with a clear homage to local tradition and a personal touch that reflects the chef's experience gained abroad. However, some dishes were excessively tasty, an aspect which slightly compromised the overall balance. The restaurant environment is welcoming, but the room, with an essential mise en place, does not reach the same level of refinement as the kitchen. The service was discreet and competent, although not particularly attentive to detail. Coxinendi represents an interesting choice for those who want to explore Sardinian cuisine reinterpreted in a modern key. Despite some room for improvement, the excellent quality-price ratio and the attention paid to the culinary offerings make it a recommended stop for anyone in the area.

Genuine food cooked in an exquisite way... very good and friendly chef 😉

Very nice, welcoming and well-kept place. Honestly, for a bib gourmand place I expected that something extra that was missing. All dishes well prepared but nothing that made me say wow. Special mention for the Dolce Monte Prama, a truly beautiful idea. Minimal wine list with purely island references.

A very interesting tasting menu, a place to take into consideration for lovers of innovative cuisine

Sehr schönes Restaurants mit vielen hübschen Details und lediglich 6 Tischen. Der Chef persönlich nimmt die Bestellung entgegen und serviert mit Hingabe. Das Essen ist hervorragend – die übersichtliche Karte bietet eine sehr vielfältige Auswahl an Speisen aus dem Meer und vom Land. Sehr gerne kommen wir wieder!

Splendid experience and far beyond expectations. Refined and particular tastes. Calling it a lunch would be truly limiting. Price absolutely in line with the great quality, professionalism and attention to the customer, which I have experienced very few times in Sardinia. Thank you!

We were lucky enough to try this restaurant and were delighted. The food was divine and the service even more so! Don't hesitate to ask for wine recommendations, thank you very much for this magical moment 🥰

We had a great time at Coxinendi. Delicious dishes made with passion. Thank you to the whole team for this magical moment.

Unfortunately a disappointment, as always when you arrive in a place that is mentioned in international guides you have expectations that must be met, but it doesn't always happen. First of all, I would like to point out that the room works properly with the excellent guy in the room who manages the diners very well. The cuisine, however, does not keep up: - The bread served was artisanal but also burnt and practically almost inedible - cheap entrée - amberjack tartare good but cloying - good beef tartare - malloreddus without flash, a dish that I can make at home without difficulty - ravioli with cheese a little too strong, I don't think the filling had a good balance - good eel, but a really banal accompanying sauce, they went really badly with the eel - sea bream (signature dish) I didn't understand it, I just felt that the fish meat was very floury - the wine very good Overall, given the cost of the dishes and the expectations we had, we were a little disappointed. It is right that, as I see, the chef also dedicates himself to other activities, in addition to just the restaurant, but without losing sight of the objective or neglecting something. Sin.

Abbiamo festeggiato un anniversario con la mia compagna ed il personale si é dimostrato estremamente cordiale e disponibile ad ogni nostra esigenza. Abbiamo optato per il menu degustazione di terra (60€ a persona) ed abbiamo adorato tutto, dalla cioacchiera salata di benvenuto fino al famoso dolce a tema "gigante di monte prama". Ci siamo trovati benissimo e sicuramente torneremo!
