Trattoria da Virginia In Carbonia

19/10/2024: We fell in love with this place. We went for lunch at the end of August, coming straight from the beach. We ate in the totally shaded internal courtyard, despite the hot day we were cool. The bistro offers some dishes that you can also find in the delicatessen next door, the kitchen is shared. Superior local service, we were welcomed better than in other more expensive restaurants in Calasetta. The food was spectacular, all good and tasty without excess. We tried the smoked seafood, the pilau with crab and the mixed grilled fish; I would take them all again and hope to try other dishes. Genuine cuisine.

29/09/2024: Short holiday at the end of September on this wonderful island. After a web search we choose this place: simple maritime style environment, but welcoming. The waiters are courteous and friendly but precise, attentive and prepared for what I ask. We order tentacles of smoked octopus with paprika, octopus salad, fregola with seafood and spaghetti with mussels and bottarga. The olfactory experience is immediately captivating and prepares us for the first bites which make us understand that we were decidedly lucky in choosing the place. The initial gustatory satisfaction quickly gives way to ecstasy: the flavors of the ingredients, of excellent quality, blend perfectly and make the whole unforgettable. Note: the mussels, in generous quantity, all of excellent quality and size, cleaned perfectly and we did not find even one empty. Found almost by chance, you return to this place not only to satiate your stomach, but also your senses. Rating: 9/10 (the highest I have ever given to a seafood restaurant)
