Saletta

Tucked away in Alghero, Saletta is a quietly confident restaurant where chefs Gianluca and Adriano serve creative, heartfelt cuisine. Gambero Rosso’s Giuseppe Carrus was particularly taken with the “Viaggio intorno alla gallina,” a dish that, as he described it, “enhances the characteristics of the hen through various preparations.” It’s the kind of thoughtful, ingredient-driven cooking that has earned the spot a solid 4.6-star reputation among locals and visitors alike.

The menu here doesn’t chase trends. Instead, Saletta lets technique and restraint do the talking, turning familiar Sardinian proteins into something new. Whether you’re stopping by for a single standout plate or settling in for the full experience, the warmth of the cooking matches the warmth of the welcome—proof that sometimes the most memorable meals come from the smallest rooms.
