Ristorante Pizzeria Santa Maria In Villasimius

Well, first evening out in Le Zagare resort, Sardinia, and we went (as you do 1st day) for the close to hotel proximity option, hence why Santa Maria, as well as reasonable reviews. We had Margarita pizza, two seafood spaghetti dishes with chillies, mixed salad and a dessert. Drinks too, as well as coffees which were standard, as we were in the land of good beer and of course espresso! Margarita pizza, well it was classic Margarita, it was good. The seafood spaghetti were tasty too, tho the proportion of seafood consistency was lost somewhere between two same dishes. One plate had more seafood than the other. I know, it’s difficult to count how many prawns has one portion and how many clams the other but when one of the two same dishes has no prawns at all and the other has 2 prawns, it feels a bit of a cheat. Nevertheless, food was tasty and tiramisu dessert was really light and just moreish. Only letdown was the staff. They were very friendly and polite but very rushy-rushy, just waiting to clear the plates as soon as possible and offer the dessert. Maybe they needed the tables, but it felt as though we were being rushed to finish, pay and leave. Overall, good experience. (Oh, and there was no chillies in spaghetti tho they were mentioned in the menu…). 4 stars it was for us!

I ate very well at this restaurant, both the appetizer, shrimp cocktail, and the fish-based first courses, penne with salmon, and the dessert, truly superb!

Cozy place, always busy. The pizzas are delicious and the service is top-notch.

This restaurant located near Villasimius offers honest and authentic 1980s cuisine with generous portions and quality ingredients. The service is friendly and discreet, and the bill is reasonable. Recommended.

We managed to get a table without a reservation even though the place was packed. The staff was friendly and the service was fairly quick, though there was a sense of general disorganization. The atmosphere was pleasant: a large indoor dining room and a lovely little garden, which would definitely be the best option in the summer. The pizzas were thin and carefully presented, but the dough was chewy and the cheese was abundant, so much so that it overpowered the other flavors. The place has great potential—the atmosphere, the location—but the overall experience left us with no desire to return.

My pizza and my wife's pasta dish were delicious 😋 I'd gladly come again 👍

The best red mussels (tomato sauce) ever. Friendly and fast service, lovely patio. Exceptional grilled fish.

The food was always delicious and hearty. The restaurant was packed every day, which I think speaks for itself. They always offered complimentary olives and bread, and the prices, especially for the pizzas, are very reasonable for Sardinia. Highly recommended.

A lovely, authentic pizzeria near Villasimius with friendly service and really good food. Excellent value for money! Reservations are recommended, even in the off-season. We arrived right at 7 pm, were lucky enough to snag the last unreserved table on the terrace. Parking is available.

A pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. It was quite busy, including several families. Ordering pizza to go by phone didn't work, but you can simply walk in and order at the counter. Despite the large number of customers, the wait was short.
