Lo Spiedo Sardo Di Marcialis & C In Cagliari

I've known this typical Sardinian restaurant/pizzeria for many years. Over time, it's lost much of its character...the quality/price ratio is no longer the same. Lower quality, in my humble opinion, and higher prices. The service is commendable, always attentive and professional.

May 2026. My wife and I had a seafood dinner at this restaurant and pizzeria, which, as true Milanese newcomers to Cagliari, we had been recommended by a local. We'd seen many positive reviews, but also some negative ones, the latter mostly concerning wait times, small portions, food quality, rude staff, and poor value. Our experience undoubtedly aligns with the most positive reviews because: 1) the staff was extremely kind, despite our delay 2) the service was fast and super efficient 3) the quality of the food was excellent (very fresh fish, well-cooked) 4) the portions weren't excessive, but just right for enjoying all the dishes served (and I'm not one for "nouvelle cuisine" restaurants where you leave hungry but can say you've had some "experiences") 5) the quality-price ratio was excellent: we paid a total of €70 for a seafood appetizer, a plate of colurgiones and a plate of fregola with clams, a catch of the day for two, a seadas, water, wine, and coffee. In Milan, for €35 per person, you can get pizza and beer, maybe even dessert and coffee, but not always! What we appreciated most was that "Lo Spiedo Sardo" isn't a "touristy" restaurant, but rather a restaurant still rooted in tradition and the wonderful people who inhabit this wonderful land, to which it primarily caters. So we too felt a little Sardinian and a little less "Milanese."

Very kind waiters, excellent service and excellent quality food.

A historic yet timeless venue. You can enjoy excellent pizza and much more in the meat and fish restaurant. Friendly and professional service.

At Spiedo Sardo you immediately feel Sardinia and tradition, the staff makes you feel at home and the dishes are each tastier than the last, congratulations!!!! ❤️ recommended!

Friendly and fast service. I tried the rare rib eye steak on the waiter's recommendation. It's a shame about the cooking, but that's okay. They greeted me late, and still served me with a smile (which isn't a given).

Went for dinner with friends and we enjoyed the food, which was delicious and well presented. The only negative thing is that we couldn't talk to each other because of the crowd in the room.

More than 40 years have passed, and nothing has changed: same furnishings, same atmosphere, same professionalism. "Magical"

Beyond the extraordinary and typically Sardinian food, the service is what strikes you most... like being at home....

I went there today with my daughter, I'm a customer of theirs and as usual it's a quality and courteous experience and I would recommend it on all levels.
