Fodor's Expert Review 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 tuna carpaccio and carciofi in tegame alla tartara di ricciola (artichokes with amberjack cream); pappardelle al tartufo nero (with black truffles) is a great pasta choice; and the fish grill 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.
