La Botte Piena In

08/12/2025: Excellent restaurant on a very beautiful beach.

15/10/2025: For years, I've been frequenting this restaurant, located (literally) on Mariapia beach. The location is truly beautiful: modern, elegant in its simplicity, and above all, in a fabulous spot, with a spectacular view of the sea, especially in the evening, when you can enjoy excellent paella (made to order, mind you!) and perfectly cooked fish. I rarely pass up my favorite dish, spaghetti with clams and bottarga, but I've tried the other first courses, which are absolutely worth a visit. Among the dishes I've enjoyed over time: a simple grilled calamari with salad or with Sardinian-style eggplant, mixed fried fish with vegetables, seafood linguine, grilled fish, and grilled sea bream. Not to mention, among the desserts, an excellent seada with honey and an unforgettable crème brûlée (in my opinion, one of the best in Alghero). The service is generally fast (except during the very busy summer months, but that's to be expected), and the staff is always friendly and professional. The coffee served here is always excellent, which isn't a given at every restaurant. Highly recommended, whether you're spending a day on the beautiful beach or treating yourself to a special evening.
