Little Sardegna - London

This restaurant has a lovely ambiance. If I had a Sardinian mother, I can only imagine how proud she would be. The pasta is fantastic, and the appetizers are wonderful. Be sure to make a reservation on the weekend!

The menu features traditional Sardinian dishes, including pasta and gnocchi, but don't miss the daily specials posted on the boards. The tortelloni with pistachios, sage, and butter sauce paired with a spicy sausage is a perfect combination, as is the linguine with chili and crab. The starters are classic, with some creative twists—our personal favorite is the hearty fish carpaccio. The cheese selection is excellent, featuring smoked ricotta, blue cheese, and pecorino served with the most delightful homemade chili jam and honey. The wine list includes a fantastic selection of classic Italian wines, but I highly recommend trying the Sardinian varieties, particularly those made from Cannonau grapes. They are smooth, full-bodied, and wonderfully fragrant. Prices are reasonable, starting around £16, but if you're inclined to splurge a bit, I highly recommend the Simmaco Isola dei Nuraghi from 2005—it was so good we ordered a second bottle. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone seeking genuine Sardinian cuisine!

This Sardinian restaurant is fantastic! The dishes are authentic and delicious, and the menu is pleasantly concise. I highly recommend it.

Since the last weeks I like to go outside the trendy new lists of restaurants, of which everyone speaks on the blogosphere or twitter. Instead I go to small independent restaurants near the center of london. I used to go to hudsons in putney, which was a big surprise. this time I had dinner at the finsbury park in a traditional South Italian restaurant: little sardegna . a friend introduced me to this place as she lives in front of him. when we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty, we had a booking for five people. in less than half an hour it was totally packed, they had to cancel the immigrants. the decoration is traditional, green and red checked tablecloths, written on the board and some Italian accessories on the wall. waitresses were very nice and Italian, making this place more authentic. on the back of the restaurant on the left side is a bar area and on the right side you can see the kitchen and cook the cook. I thought we had the best we could.

If you love traditional, rustic Italian food, then there’s a place in Highbury which you can’t miss – and while everyone has their favourite Italian style of cooking, I think the Sardinian food served here is the best. Flavour and simplicity is the philosophy of this little place run by the larger than life chef Marcello.
