Reviews Summary

Ristorante Lo Scoglio offers a mixed dining experience, with many praising its breathtaking sea views and the highly anticipated lobster spaghetti. However, some diners have noted significant waiting times between courses and a decline in food quality, with certain dishes being described as disappointing. While the ambiance and location are consistently lauded, opinions on the cuisine and overall value vary.

"Restaurant a bit difficult to find, still experience is worth. Nice ambiance with terrace almost on the sea. Servers speak very well English and commented the menu and dishes in a professional manner. Food of high quality and nice wine list (from local to international) with a wide range of prices to satisfy all type of customers."

Francesco Cataldo

"It took me a little while to write up this review after our recent trip in Cagliari in mid June! The restaurant was recommended by our hotel concierge as well as people we know from Sardinia.

The overall experience was a mixed feeling to be honest! Perhaps this was the hot spot to be or perhaps one of the best restaurants to be in Cagliari back in the days with aproven pictures of celebrities and well known people perhaps.

It took a huge amount of time between starter and first course. The octopus dish was so chewy which we left behind. The highlight was the well known lobster spaghetti 🍝 which we waited for a while but worth the wait. We ate most of the pasta and didn't bother to touch the lobster at all. In the end, we just couldn't wait to get out of this restaurant....

The view was average and service was okey, we have had better food in Cagliari and this restaurant was ait of hype in my opinion. Taxi was ordered upon request but we were sharing the same taxi with another Italian couple back in town. That was a bit of a fast& furious ride like the one in the movie I supposed which I'm certain the local Italian couple agreed with us."

Carol

"The little manager got up from the other side of the restaurant to tell the waiter not to serve me because they were sold out. I watched 10 more people enter. More are still entering.

Here is the fresh fish.
Blatant discrimination.
I feel for the people that work for him.
I returned again to let him know I was observing him bring in more customers and he said he was going to call the cops. (More little man behavior) and now I’m here waiting.
Not a typical Sardinian person, at all!"
