"The culinary pinnacle of my trip to Càbras was a dinner at Agriturismo Pinuccia, a family run hostelry that has been operating since the early 1980s. Signora Pinuccia personally prepares a fixed menu daily, which features either fish or meat. She also can accommodate vegetarians. The meal is priced at EUR 35, excluding beverages, whose price is quite modest. Signora Pinuccia and her son personally served the abundant meal, explaining each course. The starters were an array of fish and vegetarian appetizers: mussels steamed in Vernaccia wine, sauteed mullet topped with bottarga, black rice with peas and seafood, calamari and potatoes, fresh country onions (agrodolce), and zucchini. The first course was homemade pasta with a spicy fish sauce and the second course was fresh tuna (which is caught off the coast of Càbras only in the months of May and June). The table was also graced with homemade Carasau, Sardinian flat bread. After dinner, Signora Pinuccia offered a jigger from a range of homemade liqueurs I chose the basil based concoction that was excellent. Having travelled extensively and having enjoyed meals in some very high end restaurants around the world, I am of the opinion that this eatery ranks on par with a Michelin 1 star establishment, at a much more economical price. Advance booking is necessary."
