Nothing spectacular, decent yet very bland food. Prices are fine, but you would probably still expect something with more flavour.
It's more of a canteen than a proper restaurant. The service is very nice, but that's all you will remember from your visit. Good if you have no other choice, but not a great experience.

We were delighted to have a feast of multiple delicious meat recipes, slow cooked and falling off the bone. If you want to try the traditional sardinian cuisine, this is certainly the place.
