Ruja Osteria E Tradizioni

Don't sleep on this place! The location is easy to miss because the signage doesn't stand out, but it is absolutely a diamond in the rough. The interior is immaculately designed with amazing attention to detail. The food compliments the atmosphere in both plating and taste. We stopped for drinks and a quick bite, but from the two dishes we ordered, we could quickly tell that the owner and chef put a lot of time, effort, and love into the food. The dishes were absolutely stunning and tasted fantastic. I believe this is a newer restaurant, but given more time to be discovered by locals and tourists, it'll quickly become a favorite. I also got the feeling that it must be a small, family owned restaurant because the staff appeared very young and a little nervous--possibly still learning. But it was endearing and I wish them much success!

We found this awesome restaurant by accident and we fell immeditaly in love! The food was fantastic! We ordered the catch of the day and the carbonara, which were really delicious. The staff was so friendly and welcoming! The ambiente was cozy and elegant at the same time. Overall a fantastic experience, would wholeheartly recommend!

think this was the best place we ate while in Cagliari, went there for a some mussels and beer after a tour we did and then that evening decided to go back for a late dinner, not disappointed, great food and service, small and clearly a place locals go

A somewhat hidden gem that still needs a bit of fine-tuning, but already serves food on a level that stands out from its partly touristic surroundings. With the exception of the fregula, which unfortunately didn't meet my expectations, the starters, the first and second courses on my two visits were consistently excellent in terms of taste, in presentation, and quality. Unfortunately, the amount of fish stock used in the fregula was far too much for my taste, making other flavors impossible to detect. Likewise prawns without tail as pure decoration do not enhance a fregular with seafood by any means. With a little fine-tuning of the recipe and service, nontheless a restaurant with potential.

Food, service and overall vibe were excellent. Although busy, staff was very kind and engaging. Having grown up in Rome, the Carbonara is my authenticity test. They passed the test with flying colors. Will definitely return.

The food here was amazing, we had the bolognese, meatballs and roast suckling pig all three were exactly what we were chasing during this trip. The only downside being that it was a little bit loud inside.
