This place is always a guarantee for the quality of its attentive and meticulous service (a rarity these days), excellent food, and attention to detail. The warm walnut bread with salted butter is the absolute highlight. Kudos to the entire dining room and kitchen staff.

We had lots of really good food in Sardinia, but L'Essenza easily stood out from the rest. If you want to eat really well in Olbia (in Sardinia!), you should stop here. Thank you also for the very special myrtle liqueur. (The food was so good that I didn't take a single photo.)

It's worth noting that they only accept people who order two savory dishes per person. So, come hungry. We arrived unaware of this rule and ended up not being able to eat because we weren't that hungry. The service was friendly and very polite when we decided to leave the table. So, I'd like to leave you with my feedback on the well-trained staff and the cozy atmosphere. Even though it's located on the street, it's super quiet and peaceful. I'd definitely come back another day to try the dishes.

This was our second visit to this bistro: the service and welcome were excellent, and the chef's cuisine was worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant. We'll definitely be back. A truly memorable experience... Highly recommended!

A culinary highlight in Olbia
A visit to L'Essenza Bistrot is a true delight for all the senses. The beautiful terrace, stylishly decorated with great attention to detail, invites you to linger. Advance reservations are recommended, as this gem in Olbia is in high demand.
The restaurant offers perfectly coordinated menus that guarantee a harmonious culinary experience. Those who prefer a more informal dining experience can also order à la carte – the quality remains top-notch in every case. The sophisticated cuisine impresses with creative compositions and a true explosion of flavors.
The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed without losing any of its elegance. The service team is attentive, warm, and tangibly contributes to a feeling of complete well-being.
For anyone who appreciates good food, L'Essenza Bistrot in Olbia is an absolute must.

A truly beneficial discovery 😁 While I'll definitely be back, I can only recommend this wonderful bistro where you'll be welcomed right at home. The food and service are excellent. The atmosphere is refined, but not overdone. Everything is in the right place, without being overbearing. Essence, indeed! I didn't take any photos because I was too busy enjoying the experience. Thanks to Max, his wife, and the staff for a wonderful evening.
