Josto In Cagliari

I've rarely eaten so well. If you're in Cagliari, you should eat here. Great service, excellent advice, and recommendations.

Attentive, friendly staff and delicious food.

Today we returned to Josto, one of those places that are dear to our hearts. It is one of those places where as soon as you enter you feel good, you relax, you breathe in beauty... and then you eat like a god. Very well-prepared dishes, good wine, everything perfect. Every time it is a pleasure to return. Every time, a well-deserved treat.

Our experience at Josto was so good I could cry. I admire a restaurant that evokes a feeling, and I was so connected to the space (and my handsome love/date) that I forgot to take pics of the restaurant itself, but the art on the wall is a conversation starter. Environment aside, the folks who served us were engaged and helpful, offering a recommendation to try to starter quartet, which set the magic in motion. The tomato starter with bottarga was the definition of umami (my mouth is watering as I write this a week later). The other starters were all balanced and savory. Incredibly satisfying. The life-changing really happened with the mains, though. I can’r adequately describe the sweet, comforting, delicateness of the prawn tartare pasta. It was a sensory memory that will stay with me forever. The fregula stew was a marine dream—tender stewed mussels and fish, perfectly seasoned broth, and al dente fregula pasta—a hug from your grandma’s kitchen. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, please feed your soul here. For what it’s worth, we came in May and called ahead to make a reservation with ease, but it may be worth making a reservation far in advance if you’re visiting in the summer. Cheers!

I cannot sing higher praises for Josto, which was the best meal I had in my entire 10 day trip to Sardinia. I started with a red shrimp, which came raw and skewered, along with its head filled with a rich broth that you consume in a single sip -- rich tasting but light. This was followed by a tasting of house-cured fish/shellfish, expertly aged to achieve a more flavorful profile of each seafood. These included slivered squid, aged lean tuna, red shrimp, amberjack, and another white fish. The seafood pasta topped with lightly chopped shrimp served with a red sauce was perfectly balanced, as the staff instructed me not to stir the sauce to enjoy the tangy touch of the tomato sauce as it kissed the al dente noodles. Finally, I had a perfectly cooked fish fillet with crunchy skin, topped with fleur de sel and a side of carrots. Delish! I paired each course with wine that was expertly suggested by the sommelier. Highly recommended!

Exceptional ambience, fantastic dishes and great service!!

It's been a long time since I had such a delicious meal!

Cool environment/atmosphere, exciting and interesting food, great service. Really excellent meal at a reasonable price.

Simply, sublime. Food, service, location. An experience out of the ordinary, an alternative to traditional cuisine but very tasty and well-prepared. Don't miss it ❤️

A very well-kept and very original place, with background music that comes from an incredible vinyl collection. The service is very friendly and helpful, they make you feel at home. Delicious and refined food (praise for the final orange dessert). Super recommended
