Dogolai

Everything was made to order and they brought plenty of food. The house canonau was excellent, and €40 per person felt well spent. Amazing lunch.

The long gaps between courses really dragged the meal out. More than half an hour passed between dishes, and a few courses stretched lunch to four hours. They charged €30 for each adult and €15 for each child, and gave us no receipt. We won't be back. I've never eaten so badly at an agriturismo. We went during the Autunno in Barbagia event. For two adults and two paying children, they brought the same small platter served to a table of two. The mixed cheese and cured meat starters were just enough for a small taste each. The zucchini fritters and zucchini meatballs with onion came one to a plate, which I'd never seen at an agriturismo. The ravioli were poorly cooked, with ricotta and whole parsley leaves inside that were unpleasant to eat, though the sauce was good. After waiting half an hour, we got a small platter of sweet and sour beef that was so tough and stringy it was hard to cut. The suckling pig was scandalous: the meat wouldn't come off the bone, the dry skin crumbled, and it was clearly reheated. The seadas with honey were good, but the coffee was awful and seemed reheated too.

Mr. Pala shared stories from his life after we had a lunch of traditional food made with ingredients grown and processed on the farm. We came across the place by chance while cycling with friends, and the owners welcomed us warmly. It felt almost like being with family. I highly recommend it.

The owner keeps guests company and makes them feel at home, even as all that food keeps arriving. The dishes are authentic, full of flavor, and well cooked, with generous portions and excellent service. It's a real agriturismo with genuine products. I'm always satisfied when I come back, so I highly recommend it.
