About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Chef Carta brings the authentic simple elegance of the Sardinian dining tradition to your table. Sardinian cuisine is known for the purity of food and flavors. To insure the authenticity of the dining experience Chef has imported an authentic hood wood-burning oven for the kitchen. The menu is focused on farm fresh and locally grown food. Chargrilled meats and local fish will be cooked in the oven as it is in Sardinia. Taste the Sardinia bread, know as Pane carasau, baked fresh daily which welcomes you at your table. The pasta dough is also made fresh daily. Revel in the authentic Sardinian paella made with fregola and enjoy the unique flavor of bottarga. To maximize the pleasure of sharing good food with good friends, Sardinia has 45 seats- 24 in the main dining room, a chefs table for 10 and 13 seats in the bar area. Good food-good conversation-good friends. A true Sardinia experience you will not forget.

    Love the place. Love the people. Love the food, especially the Chicken Milanese. Reminds me of when I was young and my Grandmother's cooking. I would steal the chicken as soon as she took one out of the frying pan. Servers are GEMS!

    The finest Mediterranean inspired Italian restaurant in the area. Chef Dino consistently creates beautiful, delicious and healthy dishes. The daily soup is simply exquisite. Other favorites are the fabulous mushroom fettuccine, chicken Milanese, and Filetto de Branzino. And, you mustn’t leave without trying the gelato.
