The story
Al Refettorio in Alghero anchors its pizza and Sardinian cooking within the historic porticos of Vicolo Adami. Guests gather in the refined indoor dining room or step onto the shaded terrace beneath the old arcade. The space balances centuries-old architecture with contemporary plating, creating a backdrop that feels both grounded and current. This eclecticism sets the stage for a menu that shifts direction regularly rather than relying on fixed tasting formats.
Chef Cristiano Andreini directs the kitchen with a focus on digestible doughs and carefully sourced regional products. The pizzeria operates under a REFEttorio Pizza & Casu model where every gourmet pie carries the name of its main ingredient producer. Weak flours milled by local artisans form the base, while exclusively Sardinian cheeses like pecorino define the flavor profile. This commitment to traceable ingredients earned the venue a Faccino Radioso designation from ilGolosario Ristoranti.
The kitchen rotates offerings to highlight seasonal catches and farm deliveries. Signature preparations include tagliolini tossed with bottarga and aged pecorino alongside fresh sage leaves. Roasted octopus and maialino served with a potato millefeuille and duxelles sauce showcase how traditional techniques adapt to modern presentation. Ventresca di tonno paired with vignarola vegetables rounds out a list that prioritizes clarity over excess.
