1. Dal Corsaro
$$$$ | |This elegant but simply furnished Michelin-starred restaurant near the port offers modern and creative Italian haute cuisine on two wide-ranging tasting menus (€120 and €155 per person), consisting of a series of dishes that are only revealed when presented to your table (any food allergies can be communicated beforehand). Dal Corsaro shares its kitchen and chef, Stefano Deidda, with the adjacent Fork, an elegant and modern bistro where you may find such mouthwatering concoctions as smoked mackerel with honey and liver, and cheesecake salad with marinated salmon and citrus, while desserts might include licorice ice cream with a crunchy almond topping. Fork offers five-course tasting menus costing €70 and €75, and has outdoor dining in spring and summer.

2. Il Portico
$$ | |Brotherly love (and ownership) and quality seafood are among the things that make this old-town restaurant so exceptional. Modern artwork, stone pillars, and arched ceilings help to provide a fitting setting for the predominantly traditional cuisine livened up with modern elements. Appetizers created by the Ladu brothers might include steamed octopus with fresh tomato, and smoked salmon with misticanza (mixed green salad). The seasonal menu always features local fish and might include homemade pastas such as lados con ragù di galletto ruspante e casizzolu (disc-shaped pasta with a sauce of free-range rooster and local cheese). Desserts such as girella al cioccolato bianco (white chocolate roll with raspberry coulis) and pineapple with zabaglione ice cream are not to be missed. Service is attentive and welcoming. Booking is recommended.

3. Antico Caffè
$$ | |The gilded Antico Caffè once served as an intellectual haunt for famous writers like D.H. Lawrence and Grazia Deledda, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1926. With its street-front terrace and polished-wood interior, it has anchored the base of the Bastione di St. Remy since 1855, serving as a social center from breakfast time until well after midnight; the menu features local fish and meat specialties. You can also get pastas, salads, and such desserts as tiramisu and elaborate artisanal gelato coupe concoctions. A granita di caffè con panna is sublimely refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.

Good coffees, ice creams, and sandwiches are also available, and there are tables inside and out back.

5. Cafè Latino
$ | |In prime position on Alghero's broad city walls, with views down to the yachting marina and across to Capo Caccia, this makes a wonderful place to pause by day or night with a spritz or fruit juice. The menu has a number of food items, too. There's a second entrance, opposite the cathedral on Via Sant'Erasmo.

6. Caffè Svizzero
$ | |Entering this antique, vaulted bar a stone's throw from the port is like stepping back into the 19th century. Order a steaming cappuccino, a glass of the local vermentino, or a freshly squeezed fruit juice, and nibble on a panino, a pizzetta, or a pastry. It's all served with politeness and heaps of old-fashioned charm. There are tables outside, too.

7. Cocco e Dessi
$$ | |The building dates from 1925 but the interior shows a diversity of styles, with the main dining area (one of five) inside a glass gazebo. Dishes featuring fresh catches of the day, vegetables, and herb-infused sauces are complemented by pizzas and pastas—just save room for a dessert of orange-flavored crème caramel topped with walnuts and chocolate or pastry with Chantilly cream and berries. The staff and clientele are mostly young Italians, so prepare for a buzzy, high-spirited atmosphere.

8. I Frati Rossi
$$$ | |In the hills above Porto Cervo, this soothing hideaway—where a sheltered terrace looks out onto a verdant garden—is a great place to take a break from the coast's glossy trappings. Recommended antipasti include sa cannacca (dried sausage with pecorino cheese) and octopus salad with potatoes; ravioli di cernia e carciofi (homemade ravioli with grouper fish, artichokes, and truffle) is a great pasta choice; and the grilled fish is an excellent main. Although seafood is the specialty, there are some notable meat dishes, too, such as osso buco that melts off the bone. The restaurant lies 3 km (2 miles) south of Porto Cervo, in the Pantogia neighborhood.

9. Il Pavone
$$$ | |Fresh flowers on white linen tablecloths add color to the bright glass-enclosed dining area of this delightful eatery on busy Piazza Sulis; gold-framed paintings and oversize wine bottles capped in wax add Italian charm—as does the seasonally changing menu of pasta and seafood dishes such as tagliolini pasta with mullet roe, artichokes, and pecorino cheese, or potato-stuffed culurgiones (a ravioli-like pasta) topped with sheep's cheese, dried tomatoes, and wild rocket. The prix-fixe menus (€40, €50, and €60) include six appetizers, two tastings of pastas or main courses, and a traditional dessert.

10. 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).

11. Sa Ide e S'Ollia
$$ | |Take a tour of contemporary Sardinian gastronomy in this trendsetting place that has become a huge hit with the cagliaritani. You can choose between eating à la carte or the small dishes offered on the tasting menus (€27, €32, and €37, including desserts and drinks), which might include such bold pairings as ravioli di cernia con fragole e gamberi (fish ravioli with strawberries and prawns), spezzatino di maiale con le cozze (pork stew with mussels), and cappuccino di seppie in crema di patate e bottarga (cuttlefish with creamed potatoes and mullet roe). The weekday "business lunches" (€9, €10, or €12) are an especially good value. Dishes can be adapted for vegetarians and others with special dietary requirements.

12. Su Cumbidu
$$ | |A meal at this restaurant in Cagliari's lively Marina quarter, near the port, makes for a quick and affordable introduction to Sardinia's rural cuisine. Dishes can be ordered as part of a fixed-price meal or separately, and portions are large, so go easy on antipasti to leave room for main courses of lamb, sausage, and the famous Sardinian maialetto (roast suckling pig, aka porcheddu). Service is brisk and informal; choose a table on the street or within the brick-vaulted interior. The same family runs a similar restaurant nearby on Via Baylle, Sa Schironada, that concentrates on the island's sea-based gastronomy.
