El Tro - ALGHERO

We are in Alghero for a month and we find ourselves returning over and over to El Tro. Not only is the setting magnificent, right on the water, but the food is consistently outstanding. We’ve had pulpo(octopus), shrimp with bacon, ravioli with saffron and mushrooms, pasta with clams and mussels, porchetta (pork) and salad, all which were great. They serve pizza by the meter, or half meter! Be sure to try the traditional Sardinian dessert, Seadas, which is indescribably delicious. Christian, the head waiter is extremely professional and pleasant host. You’ve got to try this wonderful place.

As most on the menu was unavailable, I chose fish of the day sold by weight. I got a tiny fish they claim weighed 350g and to top it up, it wasn’t fresh and the guts had not been cleaned properly. Service was really slow. Will not be coming back!

This place is a real gem. A stone's throw from the Carlos V, just opposite in the bay. We ended up eating here three out of the seven nights we were in Alghero were very impressed with everything we ordered. Also lovely for an afternoon drink snack, as the outdoor seating is directly on the bay the views are second to none. All the staff were friendly attentive, accepting of our bumbling attempts at Italian with a smile. Reasonably priced for what is delicious food, exceptionally fresh fish the best pizza we've had whilst in Sardinia. The pasta is incredible too. Despite being off season busy most nights particularly at the weekend, so I'd recommend booking a table. Although busy staff remained cheerful on the ball throughout each visit. Highly recommend, a must do whilst in Alghero.

A mix of flavors and fragrances in a unique setting.. The dishes are exceptional.. from appetizers to dessert.. abundant and rich.. absolutely recommended... prices more than just.. Thanks for the great dinner....

We had dinner here last night, we had a table near the sea... magnificent view. The very courteous staff, excellent dishes, 1/2 meter pizza with two flavors the Venetian and Ortolana... excellent cooking, the above vegetables cooked on the exceptional grill. We then took the grilled squid with baked potatoes and salad... very good! The only flaw was the kids of the commens playing and running around the tables without anyone saying anything.
