Michelin-starred dining on the Costa Smeralda

Three Michelin stars across a few kilometres of coastline, Japanese cuisine inside the hotel that invented Costa Smeralda, and a terrace overlooking the gulf where the evening begins with sparkling wine. Tables here are chosen as far in advance as one chooses a home, and for the same reason: the season is brief and the finest evenings are organised before departing.

The ones that follow are the tables registered in our portfolio with verified sources, detailing the stated season, service times and requested dress code. We take care of reservations and transfers.

Three Michelin stars along this stretch of coast

Our portfolio records three restaurants with one Michelin star across the territory. They sit a short distance from one another and speak of three distinct landscapes: the marina, the coastal hillside, and the inland scrub.

Italo Bassi ConFusion, on the Promenade du Port

Italo Bassi Confusion Restaurant overlooks the Promenade du Port in Porto Cervo and holds one Michelin star in the 2026 Italia guide. Italo Bassi works in an open kitchen, allowing you to watch each dish take shape. There are two tasting menus, one dedicated to the chef classics and one to new creations, alongside an à la carte selection of oysters, caviar and raw seafood. On the lower floor, the Bubble Bar and Bistrot serves aperitifs and informal fare, ideal on an evening when a lengthy dinner is not required. The 2026 season runs from 23 April to 29 September.

Capogiro, the terrace of 7Pines in Baja Sardinia

Capogiro is the Michelin star restaurant of 7Pines Resort Sardinia, in Baja Sardinia, situated a verified eight kilometres from the Golfo del Pevero. Chef Pasquale D’Ambrosio creates modern Mediterranean cuisine served on Sardinian porcelain, with three tasting menus alongside à la carte dining. The dining room is a panoramic terrace open to the sunset and the sea, supported by a wine list of over three hundred labels. Evening service daily from 19:00 to 22:30, smart casual dress code.

Il Fuoco Sacro, amidst the scrub of San Pantaleo

The third star sits away from the water. Il Fuoco Sacro is the restaurant of the Petra Segreta resort, immersed in the Mediterranean scrub surrounding the village of San Pantaleo, with a view reaching towards the coast. Luigi Bergeretto and Alessandro Menditto lead the kitchen under the culinary direction of Enrico Bartolini. Aromatic herbs and vegetables arrive from the estate garden, several beehives ensure a small honey harvest, and the wine selection is extensive. It is the destination for those staying in the hinterland of Santa Teresina who wish to conclude the day where it began, among granite hills and cork oak woods.

Japan on the bay

Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe

Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe brings the international repertoire of Nobuyuki Matsuhisa to the island, within Hotel Cala di Volpe, a Luxury Collection hotel overlooking the bay of Cala di Volpe. The building is the cornerstone of this entire coast: built in 1963 as the first primary structure of Costa Smeralda, designed by Jacques Couelle, who preferred to style himself a sculptor of houses rather than an architect. The dining room is elegant and discreet, dinner is served every evening from 19:30 to midnight, and the required dress code is formal. Our records do not show a Michelin star: it is an auteur dining experience, not a stop in the guide, and we highlight this because the distinction matters when curating an evening.

A terrace over the gulf

Frades La Terrazza in Abbiadori

Frades La Terrazza is situated in the locality of Abbiadori along the SP94, looking down over the gulf of Cala di Volpe. Abbiadori is a hamlet of around 463 residents at 116 metres above sea level, two kilometres south of Porto Cervo: the elevation is unmistakable to the eye and the senses. The establishment is included in the Michelin guide selection, the kitchen alternates traditional Sardinian plates with Mediterranean options, and the terrace works splendidly simply for an aperitivo, with sharing tapas and a fine selection of sparkling wines. In our catalogue it is categorised for a mixed audience of adults and families: it is the table we hold in reserve for an evening with children or for a party preferring not to take a tasting menu.

Booking effectively

Seasons and service hours

The declared seasons do not align, and this is the first consideration to bear in mind. ConFusion opens from 23 April to 29 September 2026. Capogiro serves every evening from 19:00 to 22:30. Matsuhisa every evening from 19:30 to midnight. For Il Fuoco Sacro and Frades La Terrazza our verified sources do not publish a calendar: these are the two instances where inquiring prior to setting dates is advisable. If you are still selecting your holiday dates, When to visit the Costa Smeralda, month by month sets out the months in order.

Dress code

Matsuhisa at Cala di Volpe requires a formal dress code. Capogiro requests smart casual. For the other addresses the sources state no formal rule: the village standard applies, refined and effortless.

When to consult the concierge

Whenever an evening carries specific needs: a large table, an exact time, a seamless journey home. Our concierge service reserves the Michelin star restaurant and arranges private transfers, drawing upon local knowledge and the trusted network of contacts we have built here. You are left with the delightful task of choosing the setting.

The homes with the quickest access

Within the Porto Cervo area

VPC01 is a hillside property steps away from the square and the marina, featuring an expansive garden and terraces wrapping around the house: the Promenade du Port can be reached without taking the car. VPC02 also sits in the heart of the village, moments from the piazzetta and the harbour, with six bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom and a rooftop jacuzzi for after dinner. Slightly further north, in Liscia di Vacca, VLV02 occupies a cliffside setting right above Hotel Pitrizza, offering nine bedrooms for eighteen guests, while VLV01 provides seven bedrooms set among the granite rocks, a pool with waterfall, and a padel court. It is the setting our portfolio links with Capogiro.

Between the bay and the hills

VCV01 offers direct sea access and a private park of tall pines, four bedrooms for eight guests, and rests on the very same bay as Matsuhisa. VCV05 sits in the Petra Manna neighbourhood, no more than eight hundred metres from the white sand beach of La Celvia, featuring a covered veranda that acts as a dining room on evenings spent at home. In the hinterland, VST01 is the home in Santa Teresina: three bedrooms, a panoramic terrace overlooking the greenery, a kitchen designed for traditional regional cooking, and Il Fuoco Sacro within the same Mediterranean scrub.
