Locanda Leonildo dal Buongustaio — Restaurant in Cagliari

We switched to Locanda Leonildo dal Buongustaio after a very unpleasant experience at another “locanda” in Cagliari. Silvia & Leo turned our vacation around and restored our peace and enjoyment of this beautiful city. The accommodations were superb and a much elevated experience compared to the other “locanda.” If you are looking for a modern and comfortable and complete place to stay, look no further.

The accommodations, food, service, warm welcome and experience were excellent and beyond our expectations.

We enjoyed some of the most resplendent and unique culinary foods ever. The wine selection was impressive (and delicious and Silvia and Leo selected the best pairings for our meals). Let’s talk desserts. With each bite, you can taste the years of experience and incredible talent that goes into these sweet treats. They are pastry perfection.

We owe Silvia our most heartfelt gratitude for turning our Cagliari experience around. What started off as a horrible, unpleasant and uncomfortable stay at another “locanda,” without needing to explain, Silvia made us feel welcomed, safe, happy, and peaceful.

We literally do not have one negative thing to say about our time and meals at Locanda Leonildo dal Buongustaio. We highly recommend both the restaurant and accommodations without hesitation and with absolute confidence.

We will be definitely returning and will choose no other place when in Cagliari. As frequent world travelers who have stayed in countless hotels, locandas, bed & breakfasts, etc., around the globe, Locanda Leonildo dal Buongustaio is a standout. We give it the highest possible rating and are grateful for our time there. They saved our vacation and restored much needed...

This review is for both the B&B upstairs and the restaurant.

The place is beautiful and situated in the old area of town called La Marina, near the Port in an heritage building. I stayed in a two bedroom apartment very nicely furnished and modern and with air condition. It’s right in the middle of the old city, la Marina near the port, where you can walk everywhere or catch a bus to the beach in 10 minutes. They offer you a delicious breakfast, they make their own pastries and I had the best croissant I had in my life. The food downstairs is very high quality and every ingredient is researched from local distribuitors starting from as little as the olive oil. The hams and the cheeses and the breads in the antipasto are exquisite and full of flavour, presented in a nice traditional cork tray. The wine selection is absolute divine especially the vermentino ( typical Sardinian white wine) Lupus in Fabula, an absolute must try! The staff is professional yet friendly and lovely and caring. Stop by for an aperitif outside in the street or go inside for a proper dinner, you...

My wife and daughter and I stopped at the Locanda restaurant to ask for a two night stay in the guesthouse. Silvia said the last room had been booked two minutes previously. Even though she could not accommodate us she went above and beyond and called several of her contacts to see if anyone had a room for three,which can be more challenging. She walked us to a nearby hotel and then called someone else who had a room elsewhere but needed to get it ready. She gave them my number so they could contact me when the room was prepared. She told us we could sit and wait at a table in the restaurant. She must have spent 45 minutes trying to help us while also taking care of her duties. She was AMAZING!! Silvia you are so kind and gracious!! We so appreciated all of your effort!! Thank...
