Il Mangiatutto — Restaurant in Santu Diadòru/San Teodoro

Visited in October 2024

During our vacation, we unfortunately only discovered this restaurant on our last day. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant was bustling with guests, a testament to its popularity, but despite the crowd, we were seated promptly.

The service we received was outstanding. Our waiter was an absolute star; he handled our group of twelve with impressive efficiency and charm. He remembered everyone’s orders perfectly, which is no small feat given the size of our party. His wit and humor added to the dining experience, making us feel relaxed and well taken care of. It was evident that he genuinely enjoyed his job, which made our time there all the more enjoyable.

Each dish we ordered was a delight. The flavors were rich and well-balanced. What stood out even more were the generous portions. Not only were the meals delicious, but they also left us feeling completely satisfied. We truly appreciated the abundance of food, which added to the value of our dining experience.

As for the prices, we found them to be very moderate and fair, especially considering the quality of the food and the level of service we received. It felt like we were getting excellent value for our money, which is not always easy to find.

Another advantage was the ample parking available around the restaurant, making it convenient for those traveling by car. This accessibility added to the overall positive experience, as we didn’t have to worry about finding a spot.

Given the full dining room, it’s clear that this restaurant has built a solid reputation, and for good reason.

I really hope other restaurateurs we have visited in San Teodoro, will take a page out of this establishment’s book, they might come close to replicating the success and excellence that we encountered here. We are already looking forward to our next visit and can’t wait to enjoy another...

I recently dined at Il Mangiatutto in Sardinia and, while the food presentation was impressive, the flavors fell short of expectations.

Dishes looked appetizing, but unfortunately, the taste didn’t quite match the visual appeal. The seasoning was underwhelming, leaving me wishing for a bit more flavor and complexity, but all was a little bland and flavourless for me.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the experience, however, was the overwhelming presence of wasps. It wasn't just a few; there were a heap of them hovering around, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the meal. It was a constant distraction and took away from what could have been a more pleasant dining experience.

On the positive side, the atmosphere was charming. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Service was decent, though not exceptional – the staff were polite, but the experience could have benefited from more attentiveness.

Overall, while the setting and presentation were good, the flavors and the presence of wasps made it a less-than-enjoyable meal. A bit more attention to detail on both the food and environment would greatly improve...

I came to this restaurant after seeing great reviews on Google Maps. When we arrived, there was a small line outside. A man (maybe the owner or manager) turned away a family of four, which made me even more curious to try it. We were lucky to get a table for two, but honestly, he didn’t seem very friendly. It kind of felt like we were begging to eat there.

Luckily, our waiter was great! He spoke fluent English and was really nice. Service was quick too. It was busy, but not that busy as we noticed a few empty tables.

I took a bet and ordered the king prawns. After years of not-so-great seafood in Sardinia (I’ve been coming for 8–9 years), this place really surprised me. I actually enjoyed the dish! My husband had tagliata steak. I wanted to try pasta and pizza too, but I’ll save that for my next visit in August.

Overall, the first impression wasn’t great, but the waiter and buzzer turned it around. Prices are on the higher side (depends on what you order, pizzas are normal), but portions are big, so I don’t mind. (We spent around €90ish for main course, a few side dishes and non-alcohol drinks) Will I come...
