Ristorante Pizzeria La Lanterna – Golfo Aranci. Situated in the vibrant heart of Golfo Aranci, Ristorante Pizzeria La Lanterna is a true staple of local gastronomy. Established in 1975, it is one of the area's most historic and prestigious dining spots, serving as an essential reference point over the years for both locals across the Sassari province and tourists exploring the Gallura region. La Lanterna boasts a prime location, just a stone's throw from the crystal-clear waters of the town's famous beaches, including Prima Spiaggia and the picturesque seafront, home to the iconic Mermaid statue. Its proximity to the harbour and major landmarks makes it the perfect stop after a relaxing day at the beach or an excursion to the Capo Figari protected area. The menu is a tribute to Sardinian and Mediterranean traditions, with a particular emphasis on seafood. Guided by the chef’s creative vision, the kitchen serves specialities featuring the freshest catch, shellfish, and molluscs, all crafted with premium ingredients. Highlights include classic Sardinian gnocchetti, seafood risottos, and abundant land and sea appetisers. For those who prefer traditional rustic flavours, the restaurant offers excellent grilled meats and local delicacies, such as Sardinian pecorino cheese. Additionally, La Lanterna is a renowned wood-fired pizzeria: our pizzas, made with dough leavened for over 24 hours, range from the timeless Margherita and Marinara to gourmet options like the "Primavera" (with rocket and parmesan shavings) or bold pairings like speck or sausage and friarielli. The restaurant is distinguished by its calm, inviting, and family-oriented atmosphere. Our warm, simple reception reflects the essence of authentic Sardinian hospitality. La Lanterna is the ideal destination for anyone seeking a relaxing break in a well-curated setting. Families are especially welcome, with high chairs available and a child-friendly environment that makes every guest feel at home.
