A crisp place in the
centro storico,
La Botteghina only deals in local food bought from
small producers, which means the ingredients are simple and tastes are intense. Try the
fregola
(small pasta made from semolina) with seafood, or a gourmet pizza such as the
one with swordfish, rocket and mozzarella.

With a
sea-facing terrace on Alghero's honey-coloured ramparts, this restaurant cranks up the ro-
mance as day softens into dusk. Clean, bright Mediterranean flavours shine through in
dishes like tagliatelle with clams and
bottarga
(mullet roe) and grilled swordfish cooked
with aubergines and tomatoes. There are dedicated menus for kids and vege tarians.
Drinking & Entertainment
Blanc Bar
(Piazza Santa Croce)
Fabulous cocktails, mellow music, golden views - what more could you
want of a seafront bar? This slick lounge bar has pavement seating on a little piazza and
three much-coveted tables on the western walls.
BAR
Baraonda
WINE BAR
(Piazza della Misericordia)
Burgundy walls and black-and-white jazz photos set the tone at
this moody wine bar. In summer, sit out on the piazza and watch the world parade by.
Caffè Costantino
(Piazza Civica 31)
Skip the mediocre, overpriced food, but by all means watch the world go
by over a drink at one of this cafe's piazza-side tables.
