We were looking for something authentic and cosy looking (not tourist-like) when staying in La Maddalena. Found this wonderful restaurant! This place is highly recommended because the service was VERY warm, humorous, and the meals and sides wonderful and very specially tasting. Probably one of the best choices throughout Sardinia.With best regards from Berlin

Our friends invited my husband and me for dinner at a wonderful restaurant in La Maddalena called Trattoria Vecchia Ilva.We were seated immediately, and before the menu even arrived, we were toasting to a great night with Aperol Spritzes in hand on the house as the owner, Angelo, remembered our friends who were there a couple weeks ago. Angelo came out to greet us and answered questions about the menu items as he took our orders.We started off with eggplant, mussels, and a charcuterie plate with local cheeses to share. For our individual meals, we had Sardinian culurgiones in an orange butter sauce , a delicious pasta with tuna, best filet mignon I’ve had in Italy, and seared tuna. Everything was absolutely delicious! We wouldn’t change a thingWhen we received our bill, we were pleasantly surprised, and even more so by Angelo’s kindness as he gave us a bottle of white wine to go! Incredible - Molto grazie, Angelo!
