Where to eat
Lunches, dinners and appetizers to learn about local cuisine
Sassarese cuisine began as a poor and peasant (but very tasty) cuisine, mainly based on the use of vegetables from its famous gardens, which in times past surrounded the city, and the less valuable parts of meat. Over the years, however, a great gastronomic ferment has developed in the city, which has been able to win over Sassaresi's palates and led to the birth of establishments where today high quality catering is offered that does not forget its origins while experimenting with original solutions.
Here are our tips on where to eat in Sassari:
Osteria de' Mercati
A cozy and elegant restaurant in the historic center, it offers a cuisine linked to the territory and seasonality of products, with light recipes and simple preparations that enhance a raw material of great quality.
Starting with fish, always fresh (not to be missed are the raw dishes), without neglecting, however, also the meats, expertly processed to express their taste to the fullest. Extensive wine list and impeccable service complete the picture for a lunch or dinner in the heart of Sassari.
The Box Office
Intimate and familiar place to meet for an aperitif or to taste one of the dishes offered on the menu, strictly daily based on what the chef has found at the market. A small bistro in Via Cavour, in the center of Sassari, that revisits without distorting some traditional dishes and offers rich platters of cold cuts and cheeses to accompany a wine or a drink before dinner.
The Tentenna factory
Just a short walk from Piazza d'Italia, it is an eatery open from lunch to after dinner, dedicated to sampling wines, beers and unusual menus, often accompanied by good music.
