Sapori di Mare In Olbia

A fantastic experience, dishes with attention to detail and very, very good. Punctual service, courtesy and a smile from both the staff and the owners. Essenza Bistrot is truly worth a visit.

Excellent little restaurant in the center of Olbia (it's hard to find one of this caliber downtown). The dishes are predominantly fish-based. During the winter, they host various evenings dedicated to a particular dish; for example, I went to the boiled meat evening. The chef's signature homemade bread is excellent! And the desserts are also very delicate and refined.

Practically perfect in everything..

Fantastic dinner, from starter to dessert, incredibly well-rounded and delicious. Very friendly and wonderful staff – highly recommended!

✨ An exceptional culinary experience in Olbia! ✨ Elegant atmosphere, impeccable service and spectacular dishes, both visually and in taste. The tuna, dessert and presentation of the plates were absolutely memorable. A place where every detail counts – we will definitely be back! 🌿🍷We ordered the 85 euro Essenza and Clasico menu. Delicious and enough as a portion.

The food was good, the wine selection was excellent; the price/performance ratio was excellent; the menu is highly recommended, and the à la carte menu also looked very good! We'd be happy to return!

Welcoming location, delicious and unique dishes. Excellent.

First of all, the service was excellent, They treated my wife and me very well. Everything was quick and responsive, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was modest yet warm. Their wine list is rich, with reasonably priced options. As for the food, my wife chose the Grandi Classici menu while I went for the L’Essenza menu. Unfortunately, we were not satisfied with any of the dishes except for the desserts. I wanted to point this out, as the flavors did not live up to what one might expect from a Michelin-recommended restaurant. For example, the ravioli,the crab and cheese combination inside, didn’t really work for me. That said, aside from the taste of the dishes, it was still a pleasant evening. Among the highlights were the walnut bread they offered us at the beginning, which we truly enjoyed.

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.)
