Luici Pomata In Cagliari

The food is divine! Exquisite dishes Excellent service Adequate price Sublime restaurant

I happened upon this restaurant because I was staying at the nearby Hotel Regina Margherita. For a moment, I was shocked to see the chef in the dining room, a striking resemblance to Massimo Bottura, whom I'm a regular at at all his Modena restaurants: Francescana, Cavallino, and Gatto Verde. With all due respect to Chef Pomata, the resemblance is limited to physical appearance; it would be unfair to compare his cuisine.... However, I would suggest that Chef Pomata be less daring with his blends of flavors. The ingredients are certainly excellent, but they lose their freshness when paired with questionable and overpowering flavors. In short, "to much"...as if to say, a fresh ingredient is like a beautiful woman, it doesn't need excessive makeup to improve... quite the opposite. Chef Massimo, forgive me for mentioning him, and Luigi, he has so much potential to express... he's certainly passionate about catering!

The interior is striking, minimalist yet meticulously curated, with a sober elegance and a perfectly coherent table setting. The details, such as the cutlery holder and water jug, are highly appreciated, and help define the restaurant's identity. The ingredients used in the "A Mano Libera" menu are top-notch, even if the preparation hasn't always fully showcased them. Special mention goes to the truly impressive pansotti and the extensive and well-constructed wine list. The service lives up to the experience: young, knowledgeable, and attentive, without ever being intrusive. The price is absolutely in line with the overall quality.

Food is super. Tuna and suckling pig are worth the visit. I’d recommend sitting outside or to the front of the restaurant - we were in the back room and a little bit forgotten about there. Will go back!

Luigi Pomata is now a well-established restaurant in Cagliari. As always, great chefs have their supporters and detractors, perhaps jealous ones. Personally, every time I go, I eat excellently, with excellent service and a remarkable wine list. Finally, the bill, which I consider more than adequate for the quality served, is impressive.

What a discovery! We went here for dinner one evening in Cagliari with two families with children (7 people) and I was pleasantly surprised on several levels. First of all, the quality of the food was stellar, with excellent ingredients and excellent execution. Then, with the kids, the chef was super kind, friendly, and welcoming. They loved the dessert to finish (a chocolate carousel). The rest of the staff was also very friendly. All in all, a positive experience.

The tuna, a perfect dinner (full star). The chef takes the order, recommends the wine, and finally personally prepares the dessert at the table, the chocolate carousel (an experience not to be missed). All the dishes are exceptional, and the best ventresca of my life.

Amazing find in Cagliari. Hand cut bluefin tuna appetizer and red shrimp with truffles and linguini with truffles all were amazing !

This is a great restaurant offering sophisticated menu of variety of modern and traditional Sardinian dishes. We had an amazing experience.

The best restaurant in Cagliari!!! Chef Pomata is always there with his courtesy and professionalism, and the staff is extraordinary. My compliments!
