The best experiences in Cagliari
If you want to see a less obvious Cagliari, this guide collects places that are not very touristy but very good for having an aperitif or eating well: a hidden little square in Villanova, a much-loved Roman pizza, a well-made smash burger, an iconic address for Sardinian meat cuisine and a very convenient pizzeria also for groups and families.
A more compact selection to scroll through quick breaks, aperitifs and tables useful for this guide.
Position: Piazza San Domenico, Villanova, Cagliari
It is a very hidden little square and still little known to those arriving in the city for the first time. The effect is that of a small village: you can drink a cocktail, stop in a popular winery and enjoy a quieter aperitif than usual.

Strong point Small village atmosphere in the heart of Villanova

Position: Close to the center, Cagliari
If you're craving smash burgers, it's one of the most compelling addresses to keep in mind. The meat is very good, the potatoes are made by them and the staff is welcoming. The place remains small and without outdoor spaces, but air conditioning and matches on TV help make it very comfortable.
Small place, without an outside, but comfortable thanks to air conditioning and a screen for matches.

Position: Marina district, Cagliari

The menu formula is convenient, the flavors are very traditional and the roast suckling pig is one of the dishes that makes it most recognisable.
