What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sa Cadrea is lauded for its absolutely stunning seaviews, making it a standout destination. Diners rave about the delicious Napoli-style pizza and fresh seafood. However, some reviews mention inconsistencies with food temperature and presentation, and occasional issues with table allocation despite reservations. The service is generally described as friendly and attentive.
"Loved everything about this restaurant. The food was amazing. The views were breathtaking even if it was a little cloudy. On the afternoon, the kitchen opens around 18:30 for pizza and 19:00 for the rest of the food but you can still have a drink before those hours.
The service was excellent, fast with a very kind staff. We ordered pizza, two kinds of pasta: local culurglones and seafood tagliatelle, and artisanal cheesecake. One of the waiters was even speaking our language so we felt very nice.
10 out of 10."

"Nestled in the charming town of Santa Maria Navarrese, Sa Cadrea could potentially offer a delightful dining experience with breathtaking views of the sea. Here’s what stood out during our visit:
Grigliata Mista di Mare: The seafood grill was a good choice 👍Freshly prepared and with sea flavors, it featured an array of delights from the sea. The combination of grilled fish, calamari, and prawns left us craving more. The presentation on the long plate was nice. I was however disappointed as the neighbour table who ordered the same dish had a tentacle arm more on the plate. I felt like being tourist trapped. A pity 😒
Service: While the service was generally pleasant, we did encounter a rough welcome. We were in time and we have asked for a specific table which wasn't given to us. We have received a table just underneath a soundspeaker with some non in the atmosphere fitting loud music. The staff was later friendly and professional.
Ambiance: Our table was unfortunately placed below a music loudspeaker, which disrupted the otherwise serene atmosphere. The crashing waves and gentle breeze were the real stars of the show, though but we have just enjoyed a fast unpleasant music beat 🎶
View: The panoramic view of the calm sea was simply gorgeous. As the sun dipped below in the west, the terrace was already in the shade at 19h but the water of the sea blended seamlessly with the sky, creating a beautiful moment.
In summary, Sa Cadrea offers good food, a lovely setting, and a few minor hiccups. If you’re willing to overlook the somehow cold atmosphere of the setting and a non customer compliant behaviour it might worth a visit.
I must say for my part that we planned to spend more money at the place but due to the behaviour we limit our dishes and champagne choice to the minimum and left of course no tip, sorry 🙏 🌊🍽️"

"Next to a coastal hiking trail, this casual lunch spot is ideal for hikers. Each table has an uninterrupted view of the sea, so you can enjoy the scenery while you eat. The menu focuses on local ingredients and traditional recipes. I tried the fresh seafood salad topped with tuna tartare, dressed in olive oil and lemon. The house‑made pasta with seafood ragù was also a highlight, with al dente noodles and a rich sauce. Vegetarians can choose a grilled vegetable platter served with pesto and seasonal greens. Portions are generous without being excessive, and prices are reasonable for the quality and location. Service is friendly and prompt, with staff offering suggestions and refilling water and bread. The mojitos stood out: made with fresh mint, lime, sugar, and local white rum, they were cold and refreshing. Whether you need a quick bite after a hike or a relaxed meal overlooking the water, this spot delivers. I’ll be back next time I’m here, and I recommend it to anyone seeking good food and great views. They also serve high‑quality coffee and desserts throughout the day for hikers in need of a pick‑me‑up. The setting is clean, well‑maintained, and very welcoming."
