The fixed price menu showcases the best local food and wine, including roasted suckling pig, fresh pasta and indulgent desserts.

2. Intenso Gelateria, Cagliari
Rated the number one gelato in the beach resort of Cagliari, the kids will love the range of flavours on offer at this fantastic ice cream shop. They start by pouring melted chocolate in your cone (choose from dark, milk or white) before dolloping on a scoop or two of creamy gelato, topped with a dazzling array of sauces, sprinkles or fruit. Now all you have to do is decide between pistachio, caramel, cheesecake, blueberry… the list goes on!

3. Sa Tankitta, Villasimius
Sa Tankitta receives rave reviews from families, who rate it as the best child friendly restaurant in Villasimius – a beautiful southern beach resort favoured by Italians. This place is really popular with both locals and tourists, so if you want to go for dinner, get there early – they open at 7pm, which is very early by Italian standards, but could be perfect for British kids not used to eating late.
All the Italian staples are here – pizza, pasta and excellent seafood such as octopus and mussels. There are good range of gluten free and vegetarian options available too. Plenty of reasons to feature Sa Tankitta among our best family friendly restaurants in Sardinia.

4. Churrascaria, Porto Cervo
Feast on succulent grilled meats at this Brazilian Barbeque inspired venue, in a beautiful setting just outside Porto Cervo. Tables are indeed arranged around the garden and swimming pool, where olive trees strung with fairy lights create a beautiful atmosphere.
The kids can stretch their legs around the organic vegetable garden, spotting the herbs and veggies that will end up on their plates.
Choose from 12 cuts of meat that are grilled over charcoal then carved at your table, accompanied by a huge array of delicious salads and side dishes from the hot and cold buffet. There is no children’s menu but the beauty of it is, they can eat as much or as little as they like from the meat and buffet dishes.

5. La Pergola Ristorante Pizzeria, Alghero
Finally, the kids will love the mini aquarium inside this restaurant, with tiny turtles and crabs for them to look at. There is also a large garden with a fountain and a terrace, where you can watch your pizza being cooked in the clay oven. This relaxed pizzeria is close to the beach, so it’s a good option for a quick lunch.
