Alghero - A Rough Guide

A short guide for visitors to Alghero in Sardinia

Osteria Macchiavello Alghero

without comments

There are plenty of restaurants overlooking the bay in Alghero - all with outdoor tables. The restaurants with the good views tend to be busier and a bit pricier - but we found one which was reasonable - and it had chicken on the menu. The Osteria Macchiavello is on Bastion Marco Polo - the name is not obvious as you pass by - but it was only the second menu I saw in Alghero with chicken on it.
The menu has a range of pastas, meats and fish. I chose the beef fillet with rocket and parmesan - a dish I have not had before - and was impressed. A side salad was better than other I had in Alghero and the chips were proper fresh wedges - not frozen. The others had pork chops and pasta - all were good and reasonably priced. The waiter was efficient and child friendly. Service charge was 15% - because of the outdoor seating. Most restaurants we went to added on a cover charge of at least €1.50 a head - but we didn’t give tips because of this. One place was charging 20% for outdoor seats.
