Fodor's Expert Review Ristorante Craf da Banana

The brick walls, dim lighting, and arched ceilings here make you feel as if you've stepped into a wine cellar. Aged photographs of Oristano's Sa Sartiglia jousting festival and specialty dishes from Oristano and Montiferru do a good job capturing local flavor. Favorites include lorighittas (a local pasta) with shellfish, maccarones de busa con arselle e bottarga (macaroni with clams and mullet roe from the Cabras lagoon), and pane frattau (flatbread in a sauce of tomatoes and sheep's cheese topped with a poached egg). In winter, try the fregula al porcino, casizolu e guanciale (semolina pasta with mushrooms, local cow's milk cheese, and pig's cheek).
