Fior d'Acqua Porto Cervo

Fior d’Acqua sits on the waterfront of Porto Cervo.

The town is a parade of aggressive, neon-lit bars, but this restaurant is a quieter departure from the surrounding noise. It does not try to out-shout its neighbours, preferring a low-key approach that feels honest in a place where most venues are designed for maximum visibility. Most of the coast here trades on flash and volume; this is the rare spot that assumes you came to dinner to talk, not to be seen. You choose it when you have grown tired of the frantic pace nearby and want a meal that focuses on the plate rather than the crowd.
