Ristorante Anima Sarda In Cantù

A great discovery that allowed us to savor the wonderful Sardinian dishes again, just steps from home. Very friendly staff, excellent quality, and generous portions. Awesome!

The exterior of the location appears poorly maintained, with weeds overgrown on the walls. Inside, as well as outside, the decor needs improvement. The lighting is insufficient. The 70x70cm tables are truly small, with little room for a bread basket, plates, and a place setting consisting of a runner and paper napkin. The service was quick, friendly, but inattentive, even though the restaurant wasn't full. The delicious fish soup, served in a small bowl, with prawns requiring cleaning, was truly a challenge due to the limited space, with splashes of sauce all over you. All you could find was a paper napkin and a few tiny wet wipes. The prawns were not gutted. The fregola, culorgiones, fried food, and desserts were all very good, except for the tiramisu, which lacked a little cream, a lot of Sardinian ladyfingers, and was served with a drizzle of non-dairy cream, which was truly unappealing. You can truly find authentic Sardinian cuisine made with quality ingredients at this restaurant, but the place needs a little more updating. I missed the comfort—there were three of us at a small table—and the atmosphere of sitting at a table and waiting for the moment to taste what you've ordered.

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service, particularly the excellent preparation of the suckling pig and the traditional Sardinian side dishes.

Looking for a restaurant where we could try something different from the usual, this seemed like the perfect fit for the occasion. As soon as we entered the courtyard, we could already smell the delicious cuisine. Excellent welcome, clean location, very kind and always smiling staff. 😍. The menu is rich in traditional Sardinian dishes at a good price. We enjoyed EVERYTHING and promise to return soon to try other dishes on the menu. A beautiful evening.

We had dinner this evening, July 19, 2025. It's our first time at this restaurant. We had a wonderful time. We were greeted by a very pleasant atmosphere, and the hostess was very kind. The Sardinian cuisine was excellent; we'll definitely be back soon.

We tried it; the place is small but cozy. The dishes are generously portioned. I recommend the porceddu, even though we found it hard to stomach.

Very simple atmosphere, quality food made by real Sardinians, we will definitely return

It's not the first time I go to this restaurant and as always it's a certainty I was on Saturday with friends and everything was amazing

I think I have eaten so well only a few times even in Sardinia, we had fregola with seafood, spaghetti with clams and bottarga and maccaronis with Argentine shrimp, all delicious, accompanied by the excellent "Pan di zucchero" wine from the ARU winery. For us it was the first time, and it was a very pleasant surprise, the menu is limited and some dishes must be booked and I consider this a plus because what is offered is prepared with care. The owners are welcoming, even with our two dogs, the service in adequate times. Absolutely satisfied, we will definitely return soon.
