La Trattoria da Maria Giuseppa In Castelsardo

01/09/2025: Not your average agriturismo. As a Sardinian by adoption, I was looking for an agriturismo that, while focusing on traditional dishes and flavors, offered something different from the usual menu. S'ena Frisca met my expectations perfectly: six appetizers, a first course featuring excellent cured meats, and the others reflecting the chef's creativity and skill (but always with a keen eye for tradition, as demonstrated by the cannoli with fried mazza frissa and the stewed lumschine). Two first courses (not the usual ravioli and malloreddus) and finally, a must in Sardinia, the porcetto (pork suckling pig): lean but not dry, tender, fragrant, and with crispy rind: one of the best I've tasted in years. A choice of two desserts (not necessarily the traditional seadas) and a wide selection of digestifs. Everything is produced on-site, including the excellent wine, which is the fruit of a small estate vineyard. What else can I say? The setting, surrounded by greenery, with the subtle background sound of spring water (S"ena Frisca means, in fact, the fresh spring) is extremely evocative. The rooms are simple yet refined, and the staff is attentive, kind, and always available. The price, despite the superior quality, is in line with the competition. Highly recommended.
