Ispinigoli Restaurant
Ristorante Ispinigoli
A long-established family restaurant beside the Ispinigoli cave, opened in 1977, known for traditional Barbagia dishes and a terrace with sea views.
Located on the SS125 road north of Dorgali, right next to the famous Ispinigoli cave. The Mula brothers opened it in 1977, and it later expanded into a hotel. Il Gastronauta named it Best of the Year in the Il Sole 24 Ore restaurant guide, and it is also listed in the Gambero Rosso and Slow Food guides. Barbagia specialties include sos anzelottos handmade dumplings, roast suckling pig and seadas honey-cheese fritters. Fish is bought daily from local fishermen, and the wine list is extensive, with sommelier recommendations. The terrace overlooks the sea. You can combine the meal with a visit to the cave. It is about a 15-minute drive from Cala Gonone. About €35–50 per person.
