ChiaroScuro di Marina Ravarotto, a real gem 💎 restaurant in Cagliari

ChiaroScuro di Marina Ravarotto is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. Located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, this small neighborhood restaurant pays homage to Sardinia’s iconic dishes. Let me highlight some of their exquisite offerings:

Raviolo ripieno di melanzana affumicata, pomodori arrosto e zucchina: Imagine delicate ravioli filled with smoky eggplant, roasted tomatoes, and zucchini. The flavors dance on your palate, leaving you craving more.

Couscous, peperoni arrosto, fiore sardo e bresaola di bue di razza sardo modicana: A harmonious blend of textures and tastes. The couscous, paired with roasted peppers, Sardinian cheese (fiore sardo), and bresaola from the local Sardo Modicana cattle, is a symphony of Mediterranean goodness.

Tataki di manzo: Brace yourself for super-tender beef tataki. The thinly sliced, seared beef is a masterpiece, served with precision and flair.

And let’s not forget the impeccable service! The staff at ChiaroScuro ensures that every guest feels welcomed and pampered. In our case, it was the Sommelier and he had a real deep knowledge on wines but also in local products. It was enriching talking to him. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this restaurant promises an unforgettable dining experience.

I wonder how long it will take until they receive a Michelin star 🌟 the Bib gourmand from Michelin was already given 2024. My conclusion, definitely a star 🌟

I was really excited to try one of the latest Bibs in Cagliari, but sadly I didn’t love it. The ambiance, lighting and design could be improved, but it was the food that was really lacking. The ideas were incredibly interesting. Reinterpreted tradition with a twist. I wish that flavours matched the creativity. Service was efficient but felt more robotic than it should be.

We had an amazing anniversary dinner at Chiaroscuro. Excellent quality, Sardinian cuisine with a modern touch. We tried su filindeu, one of the most rare pasta to find, made by the chef herself. We loved every plate: we tried the egg, the tongue, lados with pork ragù, the filindeu, the chocolate ravioli and the aranzada in modern version (aranzada to die for). The service and attention to customer is exceptional, and the prices are extremely honest for the quality you get. The interior is also nicely decorated. Looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu! Best wishes to the chef for continued success, very deserved

A small, cozy and botiquy restaurant, which pays a high level of attention to details. The dishes are plated beautifully and the food itself is just as tasty :)
The chef sends complimentary side dishes as you progress in your meal, which is a nice and generous touch.
