Masr In Elmas

04/01/2026: Hmm...no! It's not my first time there. It's conveniently located in Cagliari, but it's right between two very busy streets. Since the place has two areas, one indoors and one outdoors, the latter might be a bit unsafe and noisy depending on the time of day. The entrance is covered by a fake green carpet that hides a cobblestone path that's really treacherous, especially for women in heels, in my opinion. Leaving aside the exterior, which is no better or worse than many other places, I'd like to focus on the food. I had a pinsa a while ago, and I have to say it wasn't bad, but that's about it! A slice of beef for €20 is something you expect to find at least some quality, but I have to say it was quite tough and lacking in flavor. Bad luck? The accompanying mushrooms were excellent. There's a limited selection of beers, but they're good quality. The staff is very attentive and kind, and they accommodated our every request. Parking is a conundrum. There's plenty of space across the street from the restaurant, but if you happen to catch a football match, you might have to cross yourself. This isn't a negative, given that they aren't playing every day. The bill was too high! Considered a trendy spot in Cagliari, I honestly can't say the value for money for what I ate deserves more than three stars. It's worth a visit, at least for a pre-dinner drink.

30/12/2025: We visited this restaurant and overall had a good time. The food was good, but the service was decidedly slow: we waited about 30 minutes just to order, even though the restaurant was practically empty at the time. When it came time to set the table, one of the glasses they brought us wasn't clean, and unfortunately, we only noticed this after we'd already poured the sparkling wine. We immediately notified the staff, who promptly replaced it with a full one. Despite these oversights, the experience was still pleasant. Four-legged friends are welcome!
