Natural Sardinia Angelo & Arcangela

Sardinia has its own very distinctive style of cuisine, which evolved from the island’s mountainous, sheep-rearing tradition and using the foods which were available in the interior: wild herbs, lamb, wild boar, honey, myrtle, olives, plus fish and shellfish from the coast. Angelo & Arcangela specialize in this traditional cuisine in their restaurant, creating typical Sardinian dishes such as Gnocchetti Sardi, Zuppa Gallurese, Porcetto al mirto (pork with Mirto), Capretto con patate (kid with potatoes), Pesce alla Crosta di Sale (fish in salt) and Seadas (deep fried honey pastries).

Those who don’t eat meat or fish will also be well looked after; there are many entirely vegetarian dishes based on locally-grown vegetables. Dishes for those with special diets can be created, including gluten-free.

The restaurant’s bread is home-baked and its Mirto, Sardinia’s traditional liqueur made from wild myrtle berries, is home-produced. Oil, honey and other products are selected from producers in the local area, and herbs gathered from the garden and mountainside macchia.

Mushroom foraging A huge variety of mushrooms grow in the mountains and hidden woods of northern Sardinia, and Angelo & Arcangela is renowned on the island for its mushrooms dishes during the autumn season. For those interested in learning more, Angelo can run guided mushroom foraging trips. Guests can join him on a trip into the woods and mountain macchia where various types grow, dependent on season, weather and location, and can identify and collect different species. Back in the kitchens they can learn how to prepare them, cook them and eat together around the wood fire.
