La Botteghina Restaurant

A popular place in Alghero where you can sample 'cucina e pizze' as they say. Local, fresh, seasonal ingredients are used to prepare simple regional recipes (the 'cucina' part) and crispy flatbreads (the 'pizza' part), all genuine Sardinian traditions but nicely presented. The barrel vaulted ceiling and simple-chic atmosphere is enhanced with paintings by local artists. Dishes are a mix of a land- and sea-based specialties so you can try the best of both worlds in one meal. They're known for good food, nice service and reasonable prices. It's small, so you might want to reserve in advance in high season.
