trattoria Da Fortunato In Cagliari

Always everything perfect, everything delicious, very kind as always, thank you

A little corner of authentic Sardinia, where a smile will brighten your day. The food was also excellent; everything was delicious. We felt very welcome, a truly comforting experience after a tiring morning riding our motorcycles in the rain and dealing with a few mechanical issues. Thank you!

A Cagliari trattoria on the outskirts of the city: it has retained its old-world style and simplicity, and the food is decent, but the prices have risen. Cold and hot appetizers for two, a bottle of water, and a coffee are €50.

I went for lunch today, March 12, 2026, with a friend. We had a seafood appetizer, a seafood first course, and a mixed fried fish dish. Everything was fresh, high-quality, and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

A small trattoria seating about thirty people with that "the food here is serious" vibe. We're welcomed without unnecessary frills by a kind, quick young woman with that calm efficiency that makes you think, "Okay, we're in good hands." We order Sardinian classics: fava beans, tripe, sissigorrus, marinated sardines, raw mussels, and mixed fried fish (with textbook calamari). House wine and... flower water. Fortunato is in the kitchen, occasionally popping into the dining room to make sure everything is to your liking and all is well. And yes, everything is fine: fresh dishes, clear flavors, zero compromises. For all this goodness, the bill is 25 per person. Honestly, it almost makes you feel guilty. An authentic, tasty, and unpretentious trattoria. Worth returning to and talking about with a smile.

Don't expect a fancy restaurant; it's small and dignified, and the food quality is remarkable, with a special mention for the tender, not rubbery, and delicious fried calamari. All in all, a pleasant interlude with a different menu.

The fried seafood with red mullet, calamari, and shrimp was excellent. The appetizers were also average: mussels with fresh vegetables, mullet with a light scabeccio sauce, the classic octopus and potatoes, and whitebait fritters. Beans, tuna, and surimi were also added. Spaghettini in red sauce with shrimp and in white sauce with clams and bottarga were also popular. Coffee and an after-dinner drink to finish. Professional and efficient service. Modern and tidy.
