Smeralda In Olbia

12/05/2025: A good restaurant. You are welcomed with warmth and familiarity. During dinner there is live music which also allows you to participate actively (for some it may perhaps be "too much" because in fact it is not music that accompanies but that involves, with a slightly higher volume... but I personally like it a lot, it tastes like a party). I gave 3 stars for the food because, being a Roman tavern, I hoped to find only typical things from Roman cuisine (but some of the classics weren't really there) and because we took the octopus and unfortunately it was hard and not very tasty (and being a single tentacle with the price it has, I was expecting something top-notch... but unfortunately no.). The girl who welcomes you and also wants me to take care of the customer, from recommending a food to the journey from the appetizer onwards, to the wine (I took the house one and I must say that it is a good wine). We took some tongs to accompany the appetizer and I must say that they are really good and super crunchy. Another plus point is the dessert, everyone at my table was satisfied, I was very satisfied with the tiramisu, with an exceptional cream and well balanced with the biscuit and the coffee. We were offered the digestive, a good myrtle, fortunately not very alcoholic, really pleasant. The environment is comfortable, soft, a little in dim light... chatting with the people at your table is complicated because the volume of the music is high, but I repeat, I like it that way. The only flaw, but unfortunately it's not their fault, is the parking... almost impossible to find now, let alone in summer. But it still deserves a nice walk, initially to increase the appetite and at the end to start good digestion.

11/05/2025: Very friendly place. good location and not crazy expensive. Food was lacking a bit of final focus: octopus a bit chewy, steak not so tender.
