Traditional recipes, menus that follow the seasonality of the products, homemade pasta, cured meats, cheeses and homegrown meats, the fish of our sea, love and passion for the island culture are the indispensable elements for a cuisine that transmits ancient flavors.

we were guests at the farm of the same name located a few hundred meters from the place, also so as not to disturb the guests, as the place is only open in the evening.
the restaurant is managed directly by the owners with a young and fast staff. and offers an extraordinary fixed price menu, with an offer of local products, which changes every evening. of course there is also paper, for those who want to eat and spend less. The quality does not change, and for us who are not athletes it is an obligation to make the alternative choice!
it is also frequented by locals, despite being a few kilometers from the center of Sant'Antioco, further testimony to the goodness of the restaurant itself. I recommend booking -

We had dinner here during our holiday, the farm is located slightly outside the city center but easily reachable with the navigator (in this area the telephone is not very popular)
Very good food, highly recommended!
The only flaw was that we had to wait a bit long to eat and they forgot my culurgionis!
They also offer a typical menu with porceddu upon reservation

On holiday in Calasetta we wanted to try this farmhouse located just outside S.Antioco on the road to Maledroxa
Very nice place, large car park with some tables placed under the olive trees and a large outdoor grill at a safe distance from the tables so as to avoid heat and various "perfumes".
The menu includes a fixed menu with 3 starters, 2 first courses and 1 second course or alternatively an à la carte menu.
We opted for this.
I took several appetizers to be able to taste them all. Note of merit to the vegetable meatballs and colurgiones served as an appetizer with a vegetable filling.
As a second course, porceddu and grilled beef steak
Both excellent, the pork very tender and well cooked...better to book it in advance...it's a dish that "sells out"
Classic sweet seadas and fried pancakes filled with ricotta and lemon.
A good Santaldi Vermentino accompanied the dinner.
Correct prices for coffee and myrtle offered. Precise and fast service, just right. Very friendly but not invasive staff. We will return to taste the rest of the cuisine's offerings

Let's start with the telephone reservation in which I specified that I wanted an outdoor table and purceddu.
Upon our arrival they direct me towards the inside, so I ask, since there were free tables, to sit outside and I am told that if I had told the reservation they would have already prepared it, I say that I specifically asked for it, okay, we'll sit outside.
After a while a waiter finally arrives and asks us what we want so I say that I have booked the suckling pig and he replies that he would see if it was there 😒 and in fact there was so we immediately take 2 dishes of suckling pig and who's there? he was with us they take appetizers, we eat first courses there, the piglet was nothing special, nor have I eaten better ones, this one was heated in fact the inside immediately cooled down.
After a good half hour, after our repeated signals, a waitress appears from whom we order the continuation of dinner, Sardinian ravioli and two more pigs 😒 same as above.
At the end my daughters decide to offer them dinner and at the checkout they have the bill split in two and each pays with the card, where for each transaction they add 25 cents, that is 50 cents 😒 for a total bill of 190 euros, things crazy and beggars.
It was the second time I came back, already on the first one I was so-so, but generally I give a second chance, but now I absolutely do not recommend them.
Heated pig (after I specifically asked for it when booking)
First, some malloreddus cooked to perfection with stale pecorino cheese
Seadas greasy and greasy
Service to be missed
On the menu the dishes are praised as if they were haute cuisine and then...
Plus you charge for the transaction!!!
I don't discuss the total bill as I knew it was a high priced place.

Sa Ruscitta
La serata era ventosa quindi per voi sono stati preparati due tavoli tra i quali scegliere : uno all’aperto e uno al coperto, nella veranda .
E avete cenato all’aperto, come avete scelto voi .
Il maialino arrosto era riservato a voi come da prenotazione , e come il cameriere vi ha subito confermato.
L’avete preso “ a rate “ , un pò con gli antipasti, un po' dopo , così come tutta la comanda era “ a rate “ .
Man mano che decidevate di continuare a mangiare , aggiungevate qualcosa e vi veniva presa un’altra comanda …. i tempi così si allungano, sa ?
E non siete evidentemente esperti di cotture allo spiedo … una volta che il maialino è cotto , e che di 4 porzioni prenotate ne prendete due con gli antipasti e due “vediamo dopo “ , come avete detto al cameriere … un po' bisogna scaldarlo , non ci avete pensato ?
Avremmo dovuto spiegarlo , ma ci siamo affidati alla logica , che non è un dono di tutti .
Le nostre seadas sono eccellenti , ma cosa ve lo dico a fare ? Fatevelo dire e leggetelo in tutte le recensioni di clienti più esperti di voi nel riconoscere i prodotti di qualità .
Quanto alla transazione pagata …. niente di più falso e ridicolo ! Il pezzente sembra essere lei , piuttosto . Si vergogni .
La transazione , è bene che lei lo sappia, non si può aggiungere in alcun modo al conto , la paghiamo noi, alla nostra banca in una percentuale che va oltre i 0,50 € per un importo di 190 €
Ma lei evidentemente ignora come funziona il POS . Beato lei, devo dire !
Il nostro chef chiede la ricetta dei malloreddus alla “ spera in dio “ che dalle nostre parti non è tipica.
E’ bello sapere che non tornerà 😊

We went for lunch on August 15th, price €45 per person, there were 5 of us but the portions were for two, very questionable starters, poor quality first courses, very poor second course in quantity, manual cooked not very well, no fruit or dessert given the anniversary. In my opinion the chef should change profession. Finally, the price is high and the food is poor both in quantity and above all in quality.

la percezione delle quantita , del prezzo , e della qualità stessa è soggettiva, ma ci consola che le recensioni di questo tenore siano così poche da considerare anche la sua come una voce fuori dal coro .

Mid-August lunch, quite a negative experience, we start with the starters quite good but we could have had more variety, we move on to the first course, a sore point, a fregola with sausage and courgettes good but nothing sensational and even very little considering there were five of us, practically a tasting for everyone, then a pasta with aubergines and salted ricotta, horrible, the pasta was drained and seasoned with 4 pieces of aubergine that seemed boiled, not even a drizzle of oil, a useless pasta. Let's move on to the second course, suckling pig with baked potatoes, good but brought in a ridiculous quantity considering that we paid for 5 people. Then comes... NOTHING, coffee and bitters and that's it, no dessert, no fruit. A unique disappointment. Considering the price paid, an experience not to be repeated for us. Many times it doesn't take much to make customers satisfied, I don't understand the positive reviews, we probably had the wrong day.

La ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua esperienza . Il menu del pranzo di Ferragosto che vi è stato inviato comprendeva tutto quanto specificato , e frutta e dolce non erano inclusi né in alcun modo menzionati . Avete prenotato consapevoli di questo , e per quanto ci dispiaccia il vostro disappunto è incomprensibile . Terremo comunque con la dovuta considerazione la vostra opinione. .

outdoor location from 10, beautiful.
although unfortunately (but I understand of course the space issue) we were put inside, where it was really hot.
chopping board with really good cold cuts... while the first ones disappointed us a lot (there is not a wide choice, there are only 2, so we took one and one, the pasta with white meat sauce was completely dry and hot (maybe it was just a case, an oversight) but even victims of the heat we could not finish them, so we kindly asked the waiter if we could take them away (it seemed a waste and disrespectful to throw them away when the next day at lunch with a little oil would have been great maybe) ok, the waiter asks us if he wants the second and at our “no” he makes a strange face, he asks us for dessert and even there being full we decline and same expression, while he proposes a lemon that we would have liked if it were not for the fact that in the meantime he had already left with an unpleasant expression.... after a while he came to another really nice waitress and after a few minutes we had suffered sorbets..... honestly does not drink of having taken little, an appetizer and two first courses in two....bho.
going to the cash register to pay we ask if there had been set aside the leftover pasta so as to take it away, the same waiter there puts it with a little battuttina little appreciated "cutlery I do not give you to take away because I need them"
honestly it made us almost look like “poor people” lowering the experience score even more.
I'm so sorry about that.

Gentile cliente , avete prenotato quando tutto lo spazio esterno era esaurito, e vi abbiamo fatto accomodare ( avvisandovi prima ) in veranda , aperta e dotata di ventilatori e climatizzatori. Ci dispiace che nonostante questo abbiate avuto caldo …
Vorrei precisare a chi legge, e anche a voi, chè forse vi è sfuggito , che abbiamo 7 primi tra cui scegliere ( non due !) Inoltre siamo sempre disponibili a preparare su richiesta altri primi espressi a seconda della disponibilità dei prodotti e dei gusti del cliente.
I nostri primi , sempre presenti in carta sono :
1. I ravioli di formaggio fresco, meglio conosciuti come “ravioli di Giulia “
2. I Culurgiones alla menta
3. Malloreddus alla campidanese
4. La pasta al ragu bianco di manzo
5. La fregula con cozze e pomodorini in cruditè
6. La nostra pasta fresca con bottarga di muggine
7. Uno special del giorno, variabile
Quello che ci amareggia in questa recensione non è che non vi è piaciuta la nostra cucina e la nostra pasta fresca a cui avete pensato di aggiungere un po' di olio per renderla ottima ( ? ) ma che parliate così di Gerry , il cameriere più anziano , amato da tutti noi e dai nostri clienti proprio per il suo fare bonario e sempre pieno di premure per tutti .
Gerry è una splendida persona , e un cameriere molto gentile ed esperto , che cerca sempre di mettere i clienti a loro agio , a volte anche con battute scherzose che purtroppo in questo caso non hanno trovato il giusto terreno .
Se vi siete sentiti offesi ci dispiace molto , perché l’impressione che avete avuto è sbagliata , abbiamo la massima considerazione di ogni persona e ci sentiamo onorati della vostra scelta di passare una serata da noi .
Sappiate inoltre che i nostri clienti molto spesso, proprio come voi , scelgono poche portate , che vista l’abbondanza delle porzioni, a volte portano a casa , ed è il migliore complimento che possiamo ricevere, perché se le pietanze non fossero buone nessuno poi porterebbe via ciò che non è riuscito a consumare .
Vi invito a tornare, certa che vi ricrederete su tutto.

Terrible experience we ordered 4 first courses of which a fregola with mussels and raw tomatoes were more tomatoes than the fregola the mussels ... escaped there were only shells left!! ordered the stewed sheep and brought us only bones things that we do not even give to dogs .. what little meat that was attached to almost all bones was hard and inedible. Together with the sheep we also ordered porceddu this fat and with little meat. In the end only the bill was raised 43 € each to stay almost fast. Never eaten such a lousy black cross

Non c'è bisogno di difendersi da una recensione così chiaramente mirata a farci del male . Invece di contrattaccare le bugie elencate, la prendiamo come una barzelletta e ci uniamo a voi con una nota : avete dimenticato di menzionare la nostra orripilante location e il nostro staff: brutto, ostile e maleducato. Ma dai :-D

We chose this farm twice, one evening for dinner and the day of August.
Contacts are very fast and friendly via WhatsApp , it is preferable to book.
We ate very well various dishes of typical Sardinian cuisine and the best porceddu of our lives.
Efficient, kind, prompt service.

Eating at this farmhouse is a real experience!
Really excellent typical dishes!
With the €37 menu you can take a journey into the taste of Sardinia!
In the à la carte menu you can also find "simpler" dishes for children.
The portions are generous.
The staff were friendly and helpful!
The location is spectacular!

After about 300 meters of dirt road you arrive in an enchanting and well-kept place. Regarding food, I confirm the full score of those who preceded me; if you arrive in the right season, you shouldn't miss the sheep with tomato sauce: a unique delicacy, even better than the suckling pig. I also give 5 stars to the courtesy of the staff and owners, always available for any customer request. Absolutely not to be missed restaurant.

The perfect location to spend a summer evening, I found it truly evocative, it is suitable for any occasion. The staff is wonderful: friendliness and kindness struck me and my friends. The quality of the dishes is exceptional, we were especially impressed by some of the starters and the homemade dishes. I absolutely recommend stopping at this farmhouse if you are on the island of Sant'Antioco.

Super recommended! Beautiful dinner in this 5 star farm! We had dinner outdoors, despite the mistral, enjoying Sardinia in all its glory. There were two of us: we took a salty seadas and a tuna with green beans, cherry tomatoes and onion as starters. Both delicious! We then moved on to Giulia's ravioli and spaghetti with bottarga and cherry tomatoes. We could not get to the dessert, large portions and excellent quality. Price 75€ in two, including covered, water and a liter of white wine of the house. Also great welcome, especially we remained in the heart Gerry with his kindness and sympathy! Thank you.

Farmhouse surrounded by enchanting nature! Wonderful atmosphere in the evening, delicious food as well as the service! I'm sorry I didn't try the suckling pig... I absolutely recommend you book it if you go because otherwise you'll only eat it if it's left over!

Spectacular location of this farm surrounded by Mediterranean scrub. You can eat outdoors, among the olive trees, with a large open fireplace where tasty grilled meat, fish and the inevitable suckling pig are prepared. According to my husband and brother-in-law, the most delicious and spicy and tender ever eaten! Served in a tray carved in olive wood. Me being a vegetarian, I indulged in meatballs from the garden (made with fresh seasonal vegetables), fried culurgiones, stuffed eggplant and fried seadas! A real speciality, seasoned with fresh tomatoes and basil.
Among the first specials are culurgiones with tomatoes and fregola with meat sauce. Despite the large portions, we did not stop and took the classic seadas for dessert. Lovely with string cheese. Friendly and smiling fast service. An evening of 110 and honors and academic kiss.
We will return before leaving Sant’Antioco
