Nestled between two sculptural rock formations only inches above the waterline of the Baja di Porto Cervo harbor leading to the Piazzetta, il Pescatore is a culinary icon of Sardinia summer. While we'd never dream of eating in a Sheraton Hotel anywhere else on earth, in Sardinia it's one of our best recommendations at this seafood eatery removed from the main hotel complex located on the waterfront. Inside, a rustic dining room of exposed stone walls and whitewashed furniture a faces a showy terrace of summer celebrities and be-seen locals.
The Food
A delightful regional menu of local seafood specialties and grille meat entrees begins with selection of Carpaccio appetizers, fresh salads and cured meat dishes. Main course leans towards the sea with grilled white fish in savory sauces, braised meats and elaborate pasta dishes served with the culinary perfection of a restaurant now entering its fifth decade.
Last Word
Porto Cervo’s acclaimed il Pescatore has been a culinary icon along the harbor waterfront even before the neighboring marina was ever built.
