Il Rifugio In Nuoro

An absolutely perfect experience at Il Rifugio restaurant in Cala Gonone. We were a party of four adults and five children, and we were welcomed with remarkable kindness and attentiveness. A true sense of hospitality, warm and familial, which immediately puts you at ease. As for the food, everything was simply delicious. Special mention goes to the exceptional trancio di pesce in guazzetto con funghi (fish stew with mushrooms) and the perfectly executed filetto di manzo (mango fillet) on braised radicchio. Frankly, every dish we tasted was a triumph. The desserts were equally impressive: the tiramisu and torroncino mandorle e noci (almond and nut toast) were absolutely excellent. A friendly, authentic place where you can feel a genuine passion for food and hospitality. We highly recommend it.

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to have lunch there this Sunday. We're gluten intolerant and called ahead to let them know, and we were truly satisfied. Simple, top-quality ingredients, everything delicious. The grilled meat was amazing, as were the baked potatoes, not to mention the pane frattau and the tagliatelle with tomato sauce. Kudos to the kitchen and dining room staff, and the owners. A very family-friendly atmosphere and delicious food.

Truly a fantastic lunch! Well done, great job!

Definitely better than expected

Absolute superb! Highly recommend.

This is the best food on earth. This is the best food on earth.

My husband and I had dinner last night. The welcome was excellent, the service excellent, and the food amazing. I rarely find such well-made and delicious cuisine. Fantastic. Highly recommended.

Hospitality, tradition, authentic yet refined flavors. Excellent value. Highly recommended!

A traditional Nuoro trattoria. Everything we tried (main courses, appetizers, and sides) was excellent.

Il Rifugio is an excellent traditional Sardinian trattoria-restaurant in a very friendly atmosphere, run by attentive staff and young, helpful waiters. The menu offers traditional Sardinian dishes, both meat and seafood, with pizza also available. We had dinner for two, ordering a charcuterie board, maccarones, and cullurgiones. We finished the meal with a nougat parfait. The dishes were all excellent and beautifully presented. The only slight disappointment was the quantity compared to the price. The proportions were a bit unbalanced, which is why I don't feel comfortable giving it a full 5 stars.
