Ristorante Il Pavone In

An absolute delight. A very warm welcome from the owner, who passionately explained the dishes, and quick service. Refined and very flavorful cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. A place not to be missed.

In May, my wife and I spent a few wonderful days in Alghero, and we visited the "Ristorante di Pesce Il Pavone" twice – and for good reason: The family-run restaurant is just a few minutes from the city center, easily accessible either on foot from the harbor or directly by car with parking on site. Upon entry, we were warmly welcomed by the owner himself and given equally competent advice. What was particularly nice was that he later returned to each table to personally check on each guest's well-being – this hospitality and warm socializing are truly exceptional. His daughter also works in the business, which further underlines the authentic, family-like atmosphere. Their passion for what they do is palpable and permeates the entire experience. The service was always friendly, attentive, and courteous – we never had to wait long. The restaurant impresses with its cozy, clean, and tidy ambiance. The menu is clear and offers a high-quality selection without seeming overly opulent. We particularly enjoyed the grandmother's traditional dish, which has always been on the menu – a beautiful piece of culinary family history! The wine list is wonderfully matched to the fish dishes. We were delighted with every single dish: fresh antipasti, homemade pasta, market-fresh fish, and sophisticated desserts – all a true taste experience and definitely not frozen. Whether inside or outside – there is plenty of comfortable seating, perfect for couples and smaller groups. Reservations are recommended, especially in the evenings. The prices are high, but absolutely reasonable given the quality; the value for money is excellent. For us, "Il Pavone" was one of the highlights of our stay – a wonderful memory that we will certainly look back on fondly. Highly recommended – we will definitely be back!

Excellent food and a great host!

Simply perfect: impeccable service, excellent food, a very pleasant and well-decorated venue. Highly recommended. High-quality seafood, exclusively featuring the catch of the day. Top.

The owner is incredibly friendly and makes a personal connection at the table. He even came by with a homemade spread for bread, and when we asked what some of our guests had (apparently) ordered off the menu, we were given a small plate of it too. He has truly creative local dishes, not the same as everyone else, and all at a very fair price! He's been there for 46 years and was one of the few people busy on a Tuesday at the end of the season. Definitely go; his dishes have a story!

Excellent food and excellent quality, impeccable service

An elegant restaurant offering a wonderful experience for seafood lovers. Everything is fresh, nothing frozen! We'll be back during lobster season! 😍.

Simply outstanding. On different occasions the restaurant in a tourist-filled old city area with too many restaurants was full, and my guess was that a good part were locals - that tells you something.

Ho cenato in questo ristorante ed ho mangiato del buon pesce pescato col giusto sapore di mare. Dall'antipasto al primo ed al secondo tutti i piatti mi hanno soddisfatto pienamente. Locale non ampio ma gradevole, gestione familiare sapiente.

Accoglienza squisita, amore per la ristorazione e grande professionalità. L'atmosfera è piacevolmente rilassante, il pesce freschissimo e il servizio ottimo. Complimenti al proprietario che gestisce questo locale da oltre quarant'anni e accoglie personalmente ogni cliente facendolo sentire gradito ospite!
