Sapori di Mare In Olbia

A positive experience. The food is good, with tasty dishes prepared with quality ingredients. The place is pleasant, and the service is attentive. The only area that could be improved is the wait staff: the waiters, while very courteous, come to the table a bit too frequently, sometimes seeming a bit intrusive. Overall, a good experience, and I would definitely recommend it.

Essenza Bistrot. A restaurant that has perfected itself. From the outside, you could easily drive right past it. An unassuming facade, a house number – nothing more. Then the door opens, and everything changes. The space is meticulously designed. Every accessory has its place, every object its function. A world map on the wall, wine crates as shelves, wood and stone in perfect balance. This isn't by chance. This is "control as a passion." You can tell the owner has a "penchant for perfection." She goes from table to table, checking everything, not detachedly, but with a look that says: This isn't just something I take for granted. This means something to me. A rare sight. The "greeting from the kitchen" is already a statement. Pizza Pala, long fermentation, tomatoes, mozzarella, anchovies, capers. Homemade bread that tastes like poetry. Spaghetti with lobster. Stuffed pastries. Calamari fritti. Everything is of the highest quality, everything tastes magical. The service is pleasant and friendly. Almost too deferential. You can tell: These people want exactly what the owner wants – for everything to be perfect. It's not just warmth. It's dedication to an ideal. Truly wonderful. Then there's a man sitting at the next table. Alone. And he's eating. Calmly, attentively. He uses his phone frequently, but not frantically, not addictively. Simply present with his food and simultaneously connected to the world around him. And I wonder: Would I do this if I were single? A restaurant of this caliber, alone, to be with myself – without it having to feel lonely? The answer: "Yes. Right now." That's the moment I understand what Essenza truly is. Not necessarily a restaurant for two or for many. A restaurant for you. For your relationship with quality, with taste, with yourself. The owner understands this. She's created a place that forces you to be alone with yourself – whether you're sitting alone or with someone else. Whether that's control or wisdom remains to be seen. But "it works" 😉

Really lovely, curated, complete meal. Everything was delicious (and we are picky). And dont miss the owner's husband's gelato for dessert :)

An unforgettable experience! A place with soul, where you feel at home. The food was brilliant, the staff super attentive and friendly, and the bar a surprisingly varied selection!

Amazing food and the warmest welcome here. Would highly recommend!

A very good experience. The chef was very attentive and friendly, spoke excellent French, and served us personally, explaining the dishes to us. He recommended an affordable and very good wine. The cuisine was refined, local, and the dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. A truly wonderful experience. Very reasonable prices. Many thanks to the chef!

We had an excellent meal. I thought the menu we chose was good, but very rich. Perhaps a little less refined. We also saw some real gems. A lovely evening out at one of Bolivia's better restaurants. We drank delicious wines.

I found this restaurant by chance while strolling through Olbia's city center. Welcoming, both in its decor and the attentive service of the wait staff. Excellent menu choices; multiple meal options, with the option of ordering à la carte or choosing a structured menu. The selection of wines and spirits is also carefully curated, enhancing the meals and the restaurant. Excellent value for money.

Chef Villani's skill is well known. Dining at this jewel of a restaurant, where every detail, even the smallest, is a true treat. The warm welcome, the impeccable service, the exceptional wine list, and a consistently surprising menu featuring new recipes, original pairings, and ingredients expertly and respectfully prepared. Essence, by name and by nature. A must-try, time and time again.

The staff made an impression of not being ready for guests. Vegetarian tasting menu was disappointing - there is certainly more than guacamole and cauliflower among the things végétariens eat. Not worth it
