Il Cormorano

Il Cormorano restaurant was founded more than twenty years ago in 1981, and has carved out a place for itself as a leading light in both Sardinian and Italian haute cuisine.

The restaurant is near to the main square of Castelsardo, a medieval town sited on a rocky crag overlooking the sea. The terrace, which has a deliberate rustic simplicity, faces the road in the pedestrian zone of the old town. While you savour your meal you also enjoy hearing the locals speaking in their ancient Castilian dialect.

The menu changes with the seasons, because it is based on using only local fresh products, and thus all the dishes blend together.
The rich wine list offers the best and most prestigious Italian and Sardinian wines.

The patron Renato Pinna, who is also the Maitre d’Hotel, Diana Serra, our renowned chef, and our highly-trained staff look forward to meeting your every need.

The Dining Room

The main dining room is furnished in a way which evokes the history of the town and its traditions of the sea and fishing. The lampshades made from lobster pots and the nets which decorate the windows warm the ambience and provide a natural setting for the delightful sea-food which we serve. The walls are decorated with fascinating local handicrafts, such as rugs woven on hand-looms, and  hand-made reed and palm baskets. Their intricacy bears witness to the skill of the local craftsmen and women, and has made these typical products a byword for quality in the panorama of Sardinian arts and crafts. The exhibition of wines in the centre of the room provides an example of the richness of our cellar, which contains more than three hundred Sardinian and Italian wines.

The Menu

The Menu changes with the seasons, as we use only fresh and genuine local products. The fish and sea-food is local and bought fresh directly from the local fishermen.The carefully selected meat is also bought locally, as we firmly believe that this is the best way of guaranteeing that our products are genuine. Fresh and genuine without compromise.
