"As a hotel guest of the Hotel Nautilus, you get 10% discount at this Mediterranean restaurant which is near the hotel and part of Nautilus Hotel ownership (right side). As many fellow travelers commented, they seem to be overpriced but they always have a good flow of seating. On our evening the restaurant was half full. The waiter recommended the catch of the day, a 1 kg SeaBass cooked / broiled in a Mediterranean Sauce with olives, wine sauce and potatoes while we ordered some other dishes. The oysters were a temptation, although its not the best season for oysters and they differed in size and texture. I felt the biggest rip-off honestly speaking, not worthwhile the price and overall experience. The mixed grilled seafood platter with tuna, seabream, cuttle fish and prawns and Linguini vongole with mussles were delicious. The service was not very attentive but at least they offered the promised 10% hotel guest discount. Not the value for money we were expecting !"

"No vegan and one vegetarian option (after requesting one). Friendly staff and fairly quick service. I’d suggest to make a reservation in advance as we needed to wait till 21:30 to get a table for 2"

"I came during the closing time, the staff were eating like a family. This is nice. They politely apologize in Italian and asked me to kindly return in 2 hrs when the restaurant will be open again. When I returned, The maître d' welcomed me in, and said thank you for returning. Great service!! I ordered first course, a dish with mussels and clams in pomodoro sauce, it was fabulous! I then ordered Linguini alla vongole (with clams) and Bottarga, which is dried fish eggs (special only to Sardenia and deep south Italy), this dish was fantastic, had I more room in my stomach, I would eat another! I paired with 2022 Funtaliras (half bottle) white wine from the region, what a lovely bottle of white. See photo! This place is a hidden gem, away from all the hussle bustle in Cagliari but just 10 min away. Oh their house cheese cake! Reminded me of cheese cake I get every burthday when I was a boy, I never forget my dad always get me this cake and this one is exactly the same! You could choose to get different sauces on it but I chose plain! Brava!!"

"We had dinner at Luzia’s, and it was an amazing experience! The service was excellent – very polite and attentive. The restaurant itself is beautifully kept and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. But the highlight was definitely the food – it was the best meal we’ve had in Cagliari so far! The white wine was delicious, and everything was just perfect. Highly recommended!"

"I was immediately impressed with this restaurant ! Their welcome was so kind and unobtrusive I immediately felt at ease . I was dining alone . They let me have any table I wanted and made me a cocktail to order . I had steak and fries and the food was really very good . The fries are hands down the BEST I have ever tasted. They slice them and leave them with their skin. They were AMAZING! The service is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here ."

"We ate here one time and the first course was just amazing, pasta with sea shells and pasta with red bas ragu i think. But for the second we had fried calamari and ribs with sauerkraut, it was awful....calamari were rubbery, also the ribs...and the sauce with the ribs was way to sweet, overwhelmed everything...the only good thins were fried potatoes with calamary and sauerkraut with ribs. But the ambient was nice and the staff was friendly and wiling to explain everything on the menu."
