Title: A Culinary Masterpiece at Il Cenacolo!
Located in the heart of Sassari, Il Cenacolo is a seafood lover's paradise. This exceptional restaurant offers an array of fresh, expertly prepared dishes that will delight your taste buds. The menu boasts an impressive selection of local wines, perfectly paired with each course.
The seven-course tasting menu as an appetizer was a highlight - a culinary journey that allowed me to sample the entire appetizer menu! Each dish was expertly crafted, with flavors that danced on my palate.
For my main course, I opted for the Tagliolini by the chef - tender pasta with succulent squid in a rich, creamy sauce. The fresh tuna tartare was sublime, and the local red shrimp was cooked to perfection. The oysters, always fresh and delicious, were a treat. The Languste with tomatoes and onion was a masterpiece, worth every euro of the 18€ price tag (100g). The grilled calamari was tender and flavorful.
While the restaurant may not be budget-friendly, the quality and service justify the cost. The staff, although not fluent in English, were warm and welcoming, making up for any language barriers.
In summary, Il Cenacolo is a must-visit for seafood enthusiasts. With its exceptional cuisine, extensive local wine list, and attentive service, this restaurant is a true gem. Don't miss out on this culinary adventure!

Read moreDinner at Il Cenacolo was overall a great experience in terms of quality. The appetizers were varied, well-balanced, and featured excellent seafood. The price for the starters was more than fair, and we truly enjoyed them.

This should have been clearly explained by the waiter, both in terms of portion and pricing. It unfortunately took away from an otherwise excellent meal.
That said, the staff was kind and knowledgeable, the location beautifully maintained, and aside from that misunderstanding, we ate very well. I still recommend visiting, especially for seafood lovers, but do ask for full details when ordering to...
Read moreWe went there not knowing what to expect and we're absolutely blown away by these guys. They have put together different starters for us, I had grilled tuna and tuna tartar which I think was spontaneously done by them since I don't like other kinds of fish - it tasted perfect. The quality of the food overall seemed outstanding, the wine chosen by them was amazing and the service was just super lovely and professional. Every course was a blast and absolutely worth the money. Highly...
