I CherChi al Poetto — Restaurant in Cagliari

We truly don’t understand where the many positive reviews are coming from. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing.

Several items listed on the menu were not available. When we politely gave honest feedback after being asked if everything was fine, the staff reacted in an unprofessional and aggressive way, shouting at us in front of other guests. Even worse, they involved neighboring customers in the situation, creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone.

The fish (fish and chips) was extremely dry – almost inedible – and came with just a tiny spoon of mayonnaise, although it’s clearly listed as part of the dish. Also, the “chips” turned out to be French fries, which felt misleading. Both desserts we tried (cheesecake and tiramisu) were just bland cream – not what their names would suggest.

Prices are far too high for the quality and experience offered. The menu descriptions are misleading, and we left feeling disappointed...

It was amazing experience!!! We have garlic and onion allergy and it's frequently hard to get dishes with sauces and spices intact, here it was totally groundbreaking, we took octopus, fish plate, fregola di mare and some appetizers, everything was prepared with exquisite taste and attention to detail, sauces, tenderness, texture - worth of a Michelin star restaurant. Service was great although speaking simple English but very forthcoming and accommodating! Wine selection is a bit short and is not on par with amazing chef, nonetheless it's totally an experience with great...

We tried both some fritto misto (fried seafood) and first courses with seafood. The fritto was good but the scampi tartare on my pasta tasted like ammonia, which is one of the first signs of rotting. Definitely a huge disappointment. The water served was lukewarm (despite the 40 degrees celsius outside), very salty and little sparkling despite being sold as such. The atmosphere is very informal as the tables are directly on the seafront’s road with no protection. The sun is shining and there are limited shades for screening the tables...
