Trattoria Lillicu In Cagliari

We returned, after several years, with friends to this typical restaurant in the Cagliari marina. We rediscovered the old flavors and the splendid "casteddaia" city setting that we remembered. Everything was excellent, from the service to the cuisine, with the inevitable appetizers and fish-based food. Account in line with expectations. We will definitely be back.

Located in the historic center of Cagliari in the Via Roma area, as soon as you enter you immediately notice the fresh fish in the aquarium and the open kitchen. We were greeted very kindly by the waiter who served us throughout lunch, recommending all the fresh fish of the day and some things on the menu. Really generous portions, very good fresh fish, there were 3 of us and we had a mixed starter, 4 first courses, 3 second courses plus dessert and fruit for a total of €135. Absolutely worth trying, thank you very much, see you next time

If I could have given a rating 10 times higher I would have gladly done so but I have to limit myself to giving 5 out of 5 stars. I was in this trattoria (the oldest in Cagliari) for lunch and I was immediately struck by the location which has remained faithful to how it was many years ago, recalling a simple but very convivial style. The kindness and friendliness of the owners is basically the key as soon as you enter this place, the goodness, quality and abundance of the food reigns supreme! If I were to return to Cagliari I would definitely return to this place. Congratulations guys, greetings from Bari!

Excellent for a quick lunch. Excellent quality/price ratio

Memorable evening... fabulous food..

A true trattoria from times gone by! We wanted to celebrate an important occasion and not being from Cagliari we literally relied on the many other positive reviews left by customers. A truly positive and highly recommended experience! When we entered the place, at 1pm, it was empty, we were perhaps the first or second to enter, after about 10/20 minutes, the place was totally full, there were almost no tables left. All local customers, from Cagliari. And you know... when a place is frequented by locals, it means it's really good. We ordered some fabulous first courses (spaghetti with sea urchins and spaghetti with mussels and bottarga). Then we continued with fried calamari and finally seadas (the best eaten in Sardinia) served with a slice of orange and honey. Coffee, Vinsanto, Myrtle and Sweets. Super friendly and friendly dining room staff, they really know what they're doing and put customers at ease, bringing plenty of smiles from them. If I had to recommend a place to eat in Cagliari it would definitely be this! Come by, you won't regret it.

There must be a reason why Trattoria Lillicu has been open since 1938... We made a reservation (it is recommended to do so) for Saturday dinner, and the place was full. Many are local people (and this already explains how they eat), but there are also tourists like us. The waiters are friendly and not intrusive, while the place is really an old style restaurant, but well kept. We had a really good pasta, an excellent plate of fregola, grilled pecorino, half a glass of white wine, water and coffee, for a total of €43.

Very good Sardinian cuisine. Reservation recommended

Svariati punti a favore rendono questo ristorante una scelta eccellente! L’ambiente è informale, molto accogliente e arricchito da quadri di vario stile che donano un tocco unico alla sala. Il personale è gentile, alla mano e sempre disponibile a venire incontro alle esigenze dei clienti. Una nota di merito va alla loro attenzione verso chi, come me, segue un regime alimentare vegetariano. Nonostante sia un ristorante che serve piatti di carne e pesce, mi hanno accolto con grande professionalità, facendomi sentire a mio agio e proponendomi delle alternative davvero gustose. Questo è un enorme punto a favore, perché spesso chi ha esigenze alimentari particolari si trova in difficoltà, ma qui è stato tutto perfetto. Abbiamo scelto questo locale per una cena aziendale, e devo dire che si è rivelato un successo sotto ogni punto di vista. Un locale che consiglio vivamente a chi cerca buon cibo e un’atmosfera rilassata e inclusiva!

Sono anni che quando mi trovo a Cagliari per lavoro decido di mangiarci almeno una volta. Sono una istituzione a Cagliari, mi trovo sempre bene, il pesce è ottimo, come antipasti, secondi e fritture siamo al top. Da perfezionare i primi. Il personale rispecchia l' anima del locale, verace,genuino e senza fronzoli.
