"This restaurant looked completely unassuming from the outside. It is on the hillside approach to the Basilica from the town of Sant’Antioco, and like many places in this part of the town it can be easily mistaken for a private residence. However, it should not be missed as their seafood menu is delightful and the service super-friendly and efficient. The restaurant is normally open in the evening from 19:30. It has 3 regularly changing set menus, meat, seafood and mixed, that consist of a antipasto dish and 2 further dishes (normally some kind of pasta and some kind of main focused on one particular ingredient). Each of these menus cost between 35-45 Euros and you can add a glass of local wine for a further 3 Euros. I had a truly inspiring meal that started with a luxuriously tasty and herby prawn tartare, followed by a mindblowing blue crab salad, ingeniously served in the crab shell. I had never had anything like this before and it really did maximise every ounce of natural flavour within the crab itself, making for a refreshing palate cleanser. My pasta dish was a local tuna and gnocchi dish, rich with vibrant tomato and caper flavours, which made for a hearty and homely centrepiece of the menu. The final dish some how managed to trump all that had come before. It was, like so much in this restaurant, a simple looking affair, which hid deceptive depths of perfectly balanced flavour. It was a cold monkfish salad, that comprised of slices of fresh monkfish marinated in a olive oil, salt and thyme, served with sweet tomatoes, bitter radicchio leaves, crisp red onion and drenched in lemon juice. It was as delicious a dish as I have tasted and well worth the visit alone. The space itself is a roomy taverna, with very clean and bright decor. The owners have a disarmingly quirky eye for little decorative details, with curling light fixtures, that dangled from the ceiling like gourd fruit and walls festooned with spectacles and slightly off-centre prints. It gave the space a real fun vibe, which was carried through in the service that was personable and attentive without ever once seeming forced. All in all this is a place well worth a visit, even if you are staying on the Sardinian mainland."

"A very good alternative to the usual pizza, the food is good, a little expensive. The service is not the best. It seems that since they have few places and are therefore always full, then they don't care if the customer is satisfied with the service. If you're in a group and ask everyone to pay on their own, they don't want to... Even if you tell them in advance, they still don't want to. The internal environment has nothing particular, nor a panorama that can be admired. It seems like there is a summer outside part."

"Pizza ottima con già tante recensioni. Ottima anche la bistecca con doppio contorno, patate e insalata, accompagnato tutto da focaccia appena sfornata dal pizzaiolo. Servizio gentile e cortese. Prezzi onesti e giusti. Consigliato."

"Explained initially from the entrance on the road that seems to bring to a hotel, here is that welcomes the owner and makes us enter a beautiful and sparkling room accompanied by his staff. Tasting menu without doubt the perfect choice to understand the philosophy and hand of the chef, the fish is treated and exalted in a perfect way in every portion of it, tastes never turn out trivial, the always very well cared for, the dishes you see that they had a study and uncommon attention, a attention that his staff reserves with care and courtesy to every commensale, you feel really pampered in every need, and more important. Congratulations to everyone, you must be proud of such a place, you definitely deserve the michelin star. The customer can only be satisfied with this experience and path you make him do, the right prices for the fantastic quality offer of food, service and location. Congratulations!!!"

"Let 's start from the positive vibes: waiters were nice, friendly and mostly professional. I had a lunch on the outside street-rooftop of the restaurant alongside the nice view of the seafront. The places of the restaurant (both inside and out) are cured and clean and the waiting times among the dishes was really few. But the food didn 't make me crazy. I mean, surely all the food that I Due Fratelli proposing are day 's catch, but the way which the cooking are realized probably does not captivating and that 's a pity. I suggest the owners of I Due Fratelli restaurant to enlarge the menu with other dishes and to try to refine the sauces and flavoring of their dishes. Good Job!"
