Before you go

- At Carusu and Aguglia Persa, use the current menu rather than old PDF prices. Confirm the table and menu directly with the restaurant.
- Use the menu and map link to choose by both food and location. A coastal restaurant may be some distance from the old town.
- Prices are examples from menus or the relative categories of named guides. Drinks, cover charges and extras may cost more; check the current menu before ordering.
