Il Pavone

Il Pavone sits in the historic center of Alghero, overlooking the sea. Since 1979, it has championed high-quality, seasonal cuisine rooted in the freshest local ingredients. Owner Domenico Caria and his team craft dishes that merge traditional Algherese cooking with personal creativity, prominently featuring premium fish and seafood. Signature offerings include fresh pasta with bottarga, artichokes paired with pecorino cheese, and a distinctive house-made goats’ cheese known for its strong flavor. The menu also presents Alessandrina fried fish, octopus salad, antipasti, and paella, with desserts such as gelati infused with wild fennel and spicy coffee. The dining room combines warmth and character, with a sea-facing veranda, contemporary paintings, and a unique collection of miniature liqueurs. Il Pavone’s culinary approach respects classic methods while integrating Sardinian flavors. Recognized by the Michelin Guide and multiple travel publications, it stands as a cherished institution blending top-quality ingredients, inventive cooking, and a scenic setting.
