Trattoria Maristella

Built along a sunny Mediterranean lunch spot with a menu that should please vegetarians is Trattoria Maristella. This restaurant is lively and popular among locals, who highly recommend the pasta with mussels, and don't miss the chance to try one of their wonderful homemade desserts.

Dining

Famed for its rock lobsters, Alghero is a treat for lovers of fresh fish and seafood, and its Catalan-Italian mix makes for some excellent and unusual dishes. Salami and pecorino (sheep milk cheese) are produced locally. Malloreddus, with sausage and tomato sauce, is the standard Sardinian pasta dish. Local honey appears on most desserts. Try gattò, made from almonds, honey and orange peel. The local red and white wines are excellent, too.
