Sardinia cuisine
tips & insights
Distinctive
The cuisine of Sardinia is the most distinctive of Italy's regional cuisines, mainly due to the island's geographic isolation from Italy's mainland.
The two cuisines
of Sardinia
The cuisine of Sardinia can be divided into two cooking styles:
Coastal cuisine
Defined by a broad variety of seafood.
Inland cuisine
It encompasses
undulating farmland, pristine woodlands and rugged
mountains in Sardinia's interior. The inland
cuisine is especially renowned for spit roasted meats. Wild mushrooms
and game are also culinary stars.
For the best of each of the two Sardinian cuisines, eat their foods only within their respective geographical areas.
Fresh and
simple
Sardinian cooks insist on fresh ingredients. And, their cooking style is less complex than in other regions, which suits Sardinian diners. They want their foods cooked relatively simple and straightforward so as not to overwhelm the food's natural flavor.
Sardegna
In Italian, Sardinia is spelled Sardegna and pronounced sahr-DAY-nyuh.
Best city
for gourmets
Cagliari is the top all around food city in Sardinia. Alghero is the island's runner-up.
