Al Tuguri
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
The Catalan-Sardinian standard-bearer of the old town. Founded in 1973 by Benito Carbonella, now under chef patron Francesco Pais: two rooms, candlelight, and the Catalan lobster dish, done as well as anywhere.
Via Majorca 113, inside a centuries-old stone building. Three set menus (fish, meat, or vegetarian) built around what came in that morning. The Catalan lobster is the dish to come for: poached, split, dressed with raw tomato, sweet red onion, salt, oil, lemon. Five appetisers, a pasta, a main, dessert. Closed Sundays. Book a couple of days ahead in shoulder season; a week ahead in July or August.
