La Balena In Cagliari

If you're passing through Cagliari, you have to stop at La Balena. A trattoria that offers only the catch of the day, prepared according to tradition. The atmosphere is very rustic and stands out from all the other restaurants; it feels like stepping back in time. The menu is written on the blackboard, and Gigi manages all the tables himself. Prices are from days gone by. An ICON in Cagliari

Authentic in every way, local and personal, excellent food...Cagliari fish!!!

Beautiful dinner, everything was delicious. The food was good, Gigi was very kind. We brought friends to Senorbi and they were all happy.

I've been wanting to eat at the whale restaurant for a while. Everything super fresh, the appetizers delicious. The fregola was superbly seasoned, the fried pasta was crunchy. Pardule, amaretto, and a coffee.

Spartan atmosphere but really excellent fish

A homely, welcoming trattoria, with exquisite staff, high quality, excellent value for money, short wait times, you feel right at home. Excellent house wine, top-notch appetizers. In short, 10 out of 10.

I was there about a month ago and i had an amazing time. The food was SO tasty and the waiter so kind. I'll definitely come back!!

I'm from Cagliari, and this was my first time at this restaurant, which I was very curious about. Sure, there's no set menu with a QR code to scan, but what's on offer is not only excellent, but also wholesome local cuisine. We ate well, were served with reverence, and even more, we got a truly fair bill, the likes of which you don't see anymore. Congratulations, I'll definitely be back.

Sono stato in questa trattoria dopo che da tempo cercavo occasione giusta, sono stato benissimo! Trattoria tipica è rimasta incontaminata dagli anni 70 secondo me. Ho mangiato antipasti molto buoni in particolare polpo e patate era da 10 per la qualità del prodotto. Ottima poi la fregola è il fritto misto , i calamari in particolare tra i migliori mai mangiati. Vino della casa nello fresco e acqua S.Lucia che a me fa impazzire. Per finire dolce home made all’arancia molto fresco e gustoso. Servizio impeccabile ! La sala era piena e, penso per qualche disguido, a servire in sala c’era solo una persona, penso il titolare, ha gestito tutti i tavoli in modo fenomenale, un vero professionista del settore, non ho lesinato i meritati complimenti per tutto cibo e servizio. Prezzo corretto in due abbiamo speso €65,00. Che dire …..super consigliato. Ci tornerò con piacere.

Un pezzo di storia della città di Cagliari! Un buon pranzo di Pasqua in famiglia immersi nel buon cibo e nella naturale cortesia del titolare, della cuoca e del personale. Il pesce fresco e gustoso e il sorprendente dolce al latte. E l’omaggio finale della colombina di Pasqua. Ci rivedremo presto e soprattutto spesso!
