Su Livariu — Restaurant in Mara Arbarei/Villamar

Not worth it. If you can go somewhere else, do it. Endless wait to get the order taken, even longer to get the simple pizza. When it finally arrived after 30mn wait it was barely warm and the ingredients were of poor quality (cheap sausage from the supermarket and cheap cotto ham - the one you find in hotel buffets where they don't want to spend money on customers...). It's also extremely noisy, but ok this is the local vibe. The waitresses are really nice, but it doesn't make up for the rest unfortunately. It's not expensive but I'd rather spend a few more euros for better quality. First bad culinary experience after a whole week in Sardinia. Potete fare...

The food was excellent, as always in these cute little Sardinian villages. The place was completely packed with Sardinians (a quality criterion), the staff was stressed accordingly, but despite that they were the friendliest people imaginable! We were warmly welcomed, and reacted accordingly with our pretend-Italian language skills. The main waitress and presumably owner had a broken arm and nonetheless served us fast, with many smiles and apologies that "it takes long" because of her arm. Have dinner there after visiting the Giara horses! We had the Carbonara, pasta with tomato sauce, grilled vegetables and tiramisù as a three course meal....

One of the best pizzas I've had in Italia, the size of the personal pizza was enormous, with a generous amount of toppings. We had no reservation but they accommodated us with no hesitation, the service was fantastic and the prices were fair. We're here for a couple days and I'm definitely coming...
