Agriturismo Sa Mandra

Información

Food is a cardinal part of Sardinian culture. And, as a rule, it’s at its best in an agriturismo. These rustic restaurants are located on farms, so the food on their daily-changing menus goes straight from field to fork. On this trip, you’ll dine at Agriturismo Sa Mandra, in Nurra, near Alghero. This place is run by a Sardinian family – mum and dad Rita and Mario, daughter Maria Grazia, and sons Michele and Giuseppe. The menus they create are inspired by the food of Barbagia, a mountain area of inner Sardinia. Dishes typical of this region include salamis, fregola pasta, which is shaped like tiny round beads, and malloreddus dumplings. Roast meat dishes are also regulars on the menu and suckling pig, flavoured with myrtle, is often cooked on the outdoor fireplace. The eating area at the Agriturismo Sa Mandra is inside a traditional farmhouse with stone walls, tiled floors and exposed beamed ceilings.
