“ Really nice location and great service, the food was fresh and delicious! The seadas and panna cotta were DELIGHTFUL! Highly recommend and prices are fair. ”
“ If you are staying in Bosa Marina this is the place to eat in the evening! The food is simply the best we have had in Sardinia, service has been exceptional. We have been back twice now, once as a family and once as a romantic meal for 2. No problem getting a table, but busy enough to create an atmosphere. Also it had loads of local people eating there, which is always a good sign. If you want great food while watch a super sunset do yourself a favour and book a table. ”
“ Very good food, nice spot for lunch. Curlogiones and seadas delicious! ”
“ We stumbled upon Il Localino while passing through Bosa, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable meals of our entire trip through Sardinia. We ordered the fresh local fish, which was offered two ways: simply prepared, or in a rich tomato-based sauce. Initially, we leaned toward the plain option—but then the chef and owner personally came out to tell us about the fish he had just sourced and how perfectly it paired with the tomato sauce. His passion was infectious, and we trusted his expertise. We are so glad we did. The result was extraordinary—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Truly unforgettable. We also tried the carbonara, and it was absolutely phenomenal—creamy, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with top-quality ingredients. Every bite was a treat. The food alone deserves high praise, but Il Localino offers the full experience—warm and attentive service, a view that captures the charm of Bosa, and an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and special. This isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to remember. When we return to Bosa, Il Localino will be our first stop. Don’t miss this gem. ”
