Su Lithu offers guests the chance to explore the region's cuisine, which is very much based on the local pastoral way of life, using the food of the surrounding mountains. (see natural sardinia - Food & Wine)
Most Sardinian restaurants offer a local dish or two, but Su Lithu's owners are keen to promote the traditional cuisine of Bitti and the Nuoro region, and the hotel's main restaurant offers a range of interesting dishes, using the freshest food from local hill farmers.

examples of antipasti include home-cured prosciutto, mixed home-cured meats, vegetables under local olive oil, coratella lamb's intestines, gazzeddas pancakes with wild fennel.
primi include the local varieties of home-made pasta, for example gurugliones de casu ravioli with fresh white cheese and parsley, zizzoneddos home-made little gnocchi, pistizzone chin anzone a thin soup made with lamb, pane salitu the local thin crispy bread layered with a meat sauce and pecorino cheese.

secondi show the influence of the traditional farming and hunting way of life here, with dishes such as porcheddu e anzone istiddiatu roast suckling pig and lamb, cassola de anzone chin inucru olia o iscarzofa lamb casserole with wild fennel and olives or artichokes, crochedda de traineddu snails with tomato sauce, and cassola de sirvone chin olia a rich stew of wild boar with olives. Many of these are prepared using old Bitti family recipes. Su Lithu has its own farm providing much of its food, and guests are welcome to visit and see the traditional methods still being used.

| dolci
may include traditional biscuits made with honey and nuts, or use the distinctive bitter honey made from the corbezzolo tree (arbutus).
If all this sounds a bit heavy or meat-focused, there are other dishes on the menu too, including fish and vegetarian, and the bright pizzeria has a good choice of pizza.
