"L'Otium, a World Heritage Site!" is the slogan I'd associate with this restaurant. The location, overlooking the skyline of the Sella del Diavolo, at the first stop on the Poetto seafront, is priceless, as is the food, my favorites being the seafood fregula or the legendary fried calamari with chips. All the other specials are also delicious, some of which are daily based on the catch of the day. The restaurant is easily accessible by city buses (from the Matteotti stop in Cagliari city center with buses PF and PQ and, in the summer, with the Potto Express and 5ZE). It's advisable to book, especially on weekends, as the restaurant is extremely popular and often sells out the day before.

Nice spot to have a lunch nearby the sea, with a great sardinian sun.
I suggest to try fregula and sardinian mied fried fish, those are their best dishes and the best ones to try in a beach chiosco.
The prices are a little bit on the higher side, but you'll have a nice lunch.

The best spaghetti with clams and bottarga in the area! Add to that the stunning seaside location... there's no comparison!
Unfortunately, the price has increased significantly...

The food is excellent – grilled sea bream, pasta with tomato sauce, and tiramisu. The prices aren't exorbitant, and the wait isn't long. Cons: quite loud, high customer turnover, and beach accessory sellers pestering you at your table. Overall, I recommend it.

Ordered takeout: breaded calamari and drinks. Very tasty, soft, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it.

We just had a beer and pizza, the waitress is very nice, but the pizza is quite average. Don't expect much romance, but ok for a quick lunch/dinner
