Paper Moon Porto Cervo

Paper Moon sits within La Piazzetta, the center of Porto Cervo. The room runs dressier than the casual seaside spots lining the nearby docks, matching the formal pace of the surrounding storefronts.

The restaurant serves Italian and Mediterranean seafood, but its real draw is the proximity to the square’s nightly activity. While other venues in the village hide behind walls or secluded gates, Paper Moon uses its layout to turn dining into a spectator sport. It is the best place to eat if you want to watch the crowds circulate through the square, a more social experience than the hushed, interior-focused dining found along the residential side streets.
