When entering I Sapori del Mare a feeling of warmth from the wood furnishings and the light blue colours reminds us of fishing boats and the colour of the Mediterranean waves. It is a simple and plain restaurant but nevertheless very elegant. The guests are welcomed into a warm and friendly environment. There is a total of 90 seats with an external veranda which is heated in the winter and open in the summer and it has 30 seats.The veranda is a more private area and very trendy.

The Mereu family come from a small town in the south of Sardinia, Pauli Arbarei and you can tell that they really love their island.Valentino has passed on the ancient values of his island to his children and to all of the other restaurant workers.He has taught them the art of hospitality: how to be courteous and discreet but also strong in their passion for this business that have chosen as their occupation.

I Sapori del Mare is the ideal place to celebrate any kind of special occasion, from a business meeting to a date with your companion or a group of friends.
In the kitchen there are four very dedicated chef de partie under the supervision of Maria Rosaria. In the restaurant dining room Veronica, her brother Jonathan and another waiter divide their excellent service to all guests, paying great attention to detail.
