Ristorante Il Banjo — Restaurant in Durgali/Dorgali

Completely disappointing. There is usually a line in front of this place and you have to wait to be seated. If you haven't arrived before 7 PM and don't have a reservation, you probably won't get a table, but this is where the contradiction begins. This restaurant has no unique features or advantages in terms of taste or price. It has become a place driven by tourists and perception.

We came out of curiosity and tried the tuna tartare, which was not on the menu but recommended by the waiter, as a starter. This dish was quite tasty. For the main course, we ordered fregula and fried calamari accompanied by fries. The fregula was not bad, but the fries and calamari were disastrous. What I don't understand is how a place that tries to act so fancy can make such a simple and uncomplicated dish so poorly. I encountered the worst, driest, most inedible fries I've ever had in my life here, and they cost 20 euros! The calamari was the standard, mediocre frozen kind, at least it was edible. We shared the situation with the waiter regarding the fries, and instead of taking any action to compensate or offering an apology (as she was aware of the situation), she asked, "Shall we make more fries? Do you want them?" This was a very pointless and inappropriate offer, as my stomach was already in no condition to take any more awful fries and calamari at that moment. What they should have done as a gesture was to at least offer to remove the fries from the bill, which would have been considerate and changed the experience. But don't expect such thoughtfulness from this place. We decided to end by trying the tiramisu as dessert and had another little shock. It was the worst, most tasteless tiramisu we've had during all our trips to Italy and throughout Sardinia. Can there be a tiramisu that consists only of whipped cream?

I definitely do not recommend this restaurant. Not only is it far below the average in Sardinia in terms of taste, but its pricing is also unfairly high. The quality of food you receive does not justify these prices at all. We were not satisfied with the service either. I still don't understand why people (tourists) are waiting for a table at the door. There are much better options in the...

We were really disappointed with our experience. We waited patiently in line, like everyone else, and we were almost last in line. When it was finally our turn, the waiter just stared at us without even greeting us or asking if we wanted to sit inside or outside. He just stared at us like if we were inhuman. We had to ask him ourselves if there was a table outside, and he acted as if he was checking for availability, then told us there would be a wait of half an hour. When we asked if there were tables inside, he repeated the same thing: half an hour wait. It felt strange and made no sense.

Then he told us to leave and come back later, which felt like they just wanted to get rid of us. The worst part was that the couple behind us in line was seated immediately while we were still standing outside. We saw this happen from a distance, and honestly, it was clear they treated us differently because we had just come from the beach — my fiancée was wearing a summer dress, and I was in shorts and a tank top.

The staff, and even the customers inside, gave us these arrogant, judgmental looks, as if we were completely out of place and not worth serving. The whole atmosphere was extremely arrogant. Even tough you eat there for about 20-30€ p. person these clowns acted like they owned the whole country. In our country Switzerland they would‘ve given you my — for this price so don‘t act like a president.

We felt extremely disgusted and left without eating. Definitely would not recommend this place if you expect to be...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this place and I must say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

The menu offered a delightful range of traditional Sardinian and Italian dishes, we tried the Pizza, Spaghetti Carbonara, Lasagna and cheese cake which was nothing short of amazing.

The service at this restaurant was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the food they served. The attention to detail and personalized service truly made the dining experience unforgettable.

As for the atmosphere, it was the perfect blend of rustic charm and seaside tranquility. The restaurant was tastefully decorated, with a cozy interior and a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the sea. It was a peaceful and romantic setting that added to the overall charm of the place.

I highly recommend this place. The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Sardinia, this hidden gem is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return...
