... you want to drink the best spritz
The answer can only be Tiffany in via Ludovico Baylle 133. We are in the center, in the Marina district. When it comes to Spritz (Aperol or Campari that is) with that of Tiffany there is no competition. And the people of Cagliari know this, considering the long lines that form outside the club especially in summer. To drink and drink again, as a moderation.
... you want to have an aperitif (with sea view)
The answer cannot be just one! Cagliari overlooks the most beautiful sea in the Mediterranean and there are many places that offer aperitifs with breathtaking views. Calamosca is dominated by the Terrazze di Calamosca (reborn after a new restyling) and the Paillote. During the summer evenings both locations offer unforgettable evenings in the company of excellent food and good music with an unmissable view that turns red at sunset. For sunset lovers, an alternative is the Bacàn in the port of Su Siccu, while for those wishing to savor an aperitif right on the Poetto beach, the choice can only fall on the Palmettes in the first stop of the 100 thousand beach!

For those who love to admire the beauty of the city in its historic center, the choice can only fall on the Libarium Nostrum in the Bastione di Santa Croce. The view that opens to the visitor’s eyes borders on the Elephant Tower, the Port and the Stampace Quarter at the foot of the Bastion.
... you want to eat the best pizza
The level pizzerias in Cagliari are many. And if the taste of pizza is extremely subjective, a pizza that everyone agrees on is that of Maiori. The elegant Neapolitan pizzeria is located inside the courtyard of the recently renovated Palazzo Doglio, the first 5-star hotel in the city. The gourmet pizzas with a unique flavor blend the best seasonal ingredients in a modern concept without sacrificing the standards of tradition.

The cuisine of Cagliari is extremely varied and combines the flavors of the sea with those of the earth in a unique combination. The restaurants where you can try the typical recipes of the city are many and scattered above all in the historic districts and in Via Sardegna (in the Marina). A name that guarantees excellent cuisine is Antica Cagliari in its 4 different guises, the restaurant and bistro in via Sardegna, and the promenade and terrace at Poetto.

From breakfast to dinner, for those who love a more refined and refined cuisine, Cagliari offers various alternatives. In recent years, there are many restaurants that offer cutting-edge culinary experiments. Among these, an unmissable address is that of the Sarti del Gusto, in Via Sulis. A refined and intimate “tailor-made” cuisine (the restaurant has few seats) to treat yourself to a cuisine of the same level as starred chefs.

As you well know, I am a great lover of SPAs. For those wishing to enjoy 2 hours of relaxation in the city center, the ideal place is the T SPA, the SPA of the T Hotel, the 4-star design hotel a few steps from the Opera House and Music Park. Swimming pool with hydromassage, hammam and chromotherapy showers with a modern design.
