I Frati Rossi

Top choice in Porto Cervo


This rustic-chic restaurant has broad sea views from its hilltop perch, 3.5km south of Porto Cervo. Local ingredients shine in beautifully cooked and presented dishes such as black tagliatelle with squid and ripe cherry tomatoes. The fish and shellfish platters are astoundingly fresh. Follow the signs up a narrow country lane off the SP59.
