24/05/2026: The food was very well prepared; we ordered pasta, which was cooked to perfection, and octopus with a special sauce—everything was exquisite.
Small portions and quite expensive prices.
The place is lovely, with a small terrace on the second floor. Food is served on the first floor, and they are very accommodating for people with mobility issues.
There is a wine cellar on the ground floor.
The waitress was friendly and courteous, and we didn't have to wait long for our food, although the restaurant was practically empty, which is unusual for the area and for it being a Sunday.
19/05/2026: Al Tuguri is one of those rare restaurants where everything including the atmosphere, service, and food aligns to create a genuinely memorable dining experience.
Tucked away in the historic centre of Alghero, it offers a warm, elegant setting that feels both intimate and special. The highlight is the beautiful small roof terrace, a secluded spot with a glass‑sectioned floor that gives the space a unique charm and a sense of lightness above the old town.
The service was impeccable — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely proud of the food they serve. This echoes what so many reviewers mention: a team that elevates the experience through professionalism and warmth.
The food itself was exceptional, with the same precision and creativity that diners consistently praise online. We had Essence of the Sea (Lightly smoked roasted octopus, cream potatoes, sea essence, crunchy celery, black olives, sesame and juniper shade), a beautifully balanced dish - tender octopus with subtle smokiness, lifted by the freshness of celery and the depth of the juniper; and Juniper Shade (Beef fillet, caramelised red onion, salad with mustard dressing, juniper marrow jus). Perfectly cooked, rich and aromatic, with the juniper marrow jus adding a luxurious depth.
Across both courses, the flavours were clean, confident, and thoughtfully composed - exactly the kind of cooking that earns Al Tuguri its reputation as one of Alghero’s standout dining destinations.
