Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe Porto Cervo

Matsuhisa sits on SP160 in Capriccioli. The room offers Japanese and seafood-focused menus that lean heavily on the day’s catch from the surrounding waters.

This is the only spot in the immediate area where the rigour of a globally recognised sushi program meets the local seafood market head-on. While neighbouring tables often default to predictable Italian coastal staples, the kitchen here applies precision-based techniques to Mediterranean ingredients. It is a more demanding style of dining than what you will find at the typical Porto Cervo seaside trattoria, which makes it the correct choice for when you want to stop browsing and start eating.
