Il Fornaio Della Marina — Restaurant in Cagliari

A complete joke. We ordered a “porchetta” and a “tonno” panino, as those are both items written on the menu. The first time they brought us 2 plain bread with a spoonful tonno AND 1 slice of Porchetta on each bread. We sent it back and told her we wanted 1 Porcetta and 1 Tonno. She brought back 2 plain bread with just tuna and one with nothing on it but a slice of porcetta (they should both have lettuce, tomatoes mayonnaise and other things on them as well). After a longer discussion they took those panini back as well. Seems like they don’t even know the items on their menu. Never seen such sad sandwiches, not even butter on them. The third time round they got it right....

Amazing bakery, with nice bread but mostly amazing foccacia (all types : tomato, aubergine, zucchini, cheese and tomato sauce etc), and the best of the best : their pastries. You must try their pardulas (traditional Sardinian pastry made with ricotta) and ask if they have pardula con mirte. Also, very good amaretti, very good cakes, muffins and other sardinian pastries. It changes pretty much everyday. They can also make you a sandwich on demand (they slice ham and cheese), And you can have breakfast there ! (With tea or coffee)

Plus, the staff is...

Don't know what happened here. I was greeted in English, so I responded in English. Huge mistake! Apparently, I opted for the full tourist treatment. I simply wanted a panino with some nice toppings for take out. The guy acted like I had never seen Italian food before and made sure not to offer me the high quality products. I was even offered mayonnaise, which I found a bit insulting. In the end I got a dry rye panino with some bland cheese and average crudo. All in all, very disappointing. At least, it was only 3,50€....
