Cabiròl

Cabiròl

This is a good wine. Most of the people preferred this wine, although i find much more interesting the cannonau grape. This one is made from a careful blend of a native grape (Cagnulari) and the most international of all grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon) – 60% of the former is mixed with 40% of the latter. This one is more expensive than the previous one cannonau.

Cannonau di Sardegna

Cannonau di Sardegna

This is slightly better finished than the bombardier 2008. Worth to taste it. It seems that this grape is Garnatxa, but I feel that it is much more fruity. Worth to taste it! altough you must drink it slightly chilled.

Ristorante La Lepanto

Ristorante La Lepanto
Via Carlo Alberto 135, l'Alguer, Italy

This is suposed to be a very good restaurant. In fact, it is just OK. The pasta quality does not reach the Vietri's level. it is quite touristic, and it seems that they try to charge you as much as possible.
the place is quite elegant (compared with other restaurants in l'Alguer):

They tried to offer this fish. When we asked for the price, they wanted 200 EUR. We didn't accepted (we were 8 people):
pasta with fruti di mare. Although fruti di mare was reasonable, the pasta was not fresh:
mixture of fish/seafood (40 eur for two people). Although the quality is good, the dish is quite basic:

Da dó

Da dó Cafe
Piazza Sulis 2,Alguer, Italy

This is a normal place that provides good tapas (see the photos) and they also have the nice (and cheap) red wine Raím.

Don Domé

Don Domé

I must confess that I do not like too much cava/champagne. For me, it is a low quality product. Nevertheless, I tasted this sparkling wine from l'alguer, and I must say that it is quite good. Worth to taste it!

Gelateria Arcobaleno

Gelateria Arcobaleno
Piazza Civica, L'alguer, Italy

This is a very good place of icecreams in l'Alguer. If you taste the melon or hazelnut ones, you will get a quality that approaches Matteo's quality. The speciality is the icecream of mirto, which is not interesting, in my opinion.

Diva Café

Diva Café
Piazza Municipio,l'Alguer, Italy

This is not a good place. This is just a subsistence meal. 8 EUR for a very tasteless lasagna and 4,5 for a small and tasteless german beer. If you decide to provide import beer, at least, you can choose a good brewery. Germany is plenty of good breweries.

Licorice

Licorice
This is a very concentrated licorice. 1 EUR per pice, but really good. The place is in front of Gelateria Voglia Matta, in l'Alguer.

Gelateria Voglia Matta

Gelateria Voglia Matta
Corso Umberto, L'Alguer, Italy

This is a quite normal icecream shop. Nothing special. The nice thing is that it is open till late.

Le bombarde 2007

Le bombarde 2007

I like this grape, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC grapes. This wine has 13º alcohol level and a high acid content, which are refined through ageing in oak barrels and in the bottle before being released onto the market. it is really "fruity" and pleasant, although it has to be drunk slightly chilled. Worth to taste it! plenty of personality.

Sirgret's bar Faineria pizzeria

Sirgret's bar Faineria pizzeria
Via V. emanuele 45, Alguer, Italy

This is a cheap place for eating a pizza, outside the touristic area in l'Alguer. The quality is good, and it is in a peaceful area.

Ichnusa

Ichnusa

This is a very soft beer, not very tasty. Nevertheless, if it is quite cold, it can be pleasant. Worth to mention the nice bottle of 66 cl

Il Buco, Bar gelateria

Il Buco, Bar gelateria
Corso Vittorio Emanuele 16, Salerno, Italy

This is a normal (and correct) place. This is only to demonstrate that in Italy you can get a very generous "tapa" for free when you order a drink: three beers (1/3) of Nastro Azzurro for 6 EUR and you get this for free, in a very nice street in Salerno.

Falerno del massico bianco 2008

Falerno del massico bianco 2008

This is a very good cellar. Nevertheless, the wine that I enjoy is the red "Aglianico" (which is the name of the grape). This white wine is simply correct (the name of the grape is falanghina)

Chianti le botteghe di Sorelli 2007

Chianti le botteghe di Sorelli 2007

This seams a good quality/price ratio wine. We paid 8 eur at the restaurant for this easy-to-drink and pleasant wine. Good perfume and texture.

Moscato d'Asti Enrico Serafino 2007

Moscato d'Asti Enrico Serafino 2007

this wine is mainly sold in Italy and Germany. it belongs to Campary group.
I think that now it is too late to drink the 2007 one. Thus, it is a little bit "turned-off", which is a pitty. We paid 14 EUR at the restaurant.

Gragnano della peninsola sorrentina

This red sparkling wine is more interesting than the previous one. Curious colour and texture, combination of bitter and dryness. Nevertheless, it is also quite "flat"& "narrow-band".

Frizzantino bianco Otto+

Frizzantino bianco Otto+

This is a flat wine. i didn't liked it. It is like sparkling wine mixed with sparkling water.
