Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in a tranquil corner of Sassari, the Fountain of the Rosello is an exquisite piece of history that dates back to the early 1600s. This charming fountain, often overlooked due to its location at the base of a hill on the outskirts of the old city, serves as a symbol for both Sassari and its rich heritage. The fountain features intricate designs and twelve spouts representing the passage of time, complemented by four statues that embody each season.
A beautiful and ornate fountain. If I am honest it needs some restoration. However, most cities have neglected historical attractions. It is worthy of a visit due to its architectural importance.
Alan F — Google review
The fountain is easy to miss because it's oddly placed on the outskirts of the old city at the bottom of a hill, hidden from plain view. Look for it and make the effort of going down that hill, even if you don't feel like doing it. You will be rewarded with details that you can't otherwise see.
Georges Y — Google review
The fountain is supposedly one of the main symbols of Sassari. What a pity then to find it under a bridge in the middle of nowhere with weeds and potholes to face, and no other visitors.
David S — Google review
Although the fountain is architecturally beautiful and its history is impressive, the lack of signage and absence of any informational plaques take away much of its charm. The site appears quite neglected; the path leading down is steep and overgrown with tall grass. Proper lighting and a few benches would help give this place the character it deserves. Overall, a missed opportunity with great potential.

Nice fountain by an underpass. Don’t go out of your way to visit.
Stuart C — Google review
We were quit dissapointed. The fountain itself is beautifull, but placed / surrounded by nothing. I would reccomend either to build there nice park with benches, trees which could separate this area from city, or to move this fountain to city park.
Milan S — Google review
I saw it on a Saturday afternoon about 5pm when it was open, free and even had a chap to explain things. Although overgrown, the path down to the fountain was obviously well made as the source was much used. To the left, closed off but visible through a crack in the fence, is the runoff off the fountain where people washed their clothes. The fountain itself is great with spurting lions and dolphins and some Latin if you're up for it.
Brad D — Google review
Very disappointed. The fountain is so beautiful but very hidden in Sassari. One can access in the morning only from Monday to Friday, from memory, and the former magnificent staircase leading to it is closed, covered with bushes, grass,undergrowth. We dis not walk towards the entre as closer. No value creation, no promotion of such a monument. It disappeared from everyone’s vue. Very sad.

(Translated by Google) Bad experience today in the Predda Niedda shop next to Wok. Two extremely rude sales assistants ignored us while we waited at the checkout to pay. It was more or less lunch time and after trying on the items, we tried to pay, but the two girls, after noticing us, didn't bother to join us at the cash register to make us pay and continued to mind their own business. After witnessing this painful scene, my wife and I looked at each other, left the items on the counter and left. The shop was nice and the clothing was quite nice, but the professionalism of the staff is zero. I hope the management intervenes. (Original) Oggi pessima esperienza nel negozio di Predda Niedda di fianco a Wok. Due commesse scortesissime ci hanno ignorato mentre attendavamo alla cassa per pagare. Era più o meno l'ora di pranzo e dopo aver provato i capi, cercavamo di pagare, ma le due ragazze, dopo averci notato, non si sono degnate di raggiungerci alle casse per farci pagare ed hanno continuato a farsi i fatti loro. Dopo aver assistito a questa scena penosa, con mia moglie ci siamo guardati, abbiamo lasciato i capi nel bancone e siamo andati via. Il negozio era carino ed i capi abbigliamento abbastanza belli, ma la professionalità del personale sta a zero. Spero intervenga la direzione.

(Translated by Google) Piazza Italia in Sassari is certainly one of the most beautiful squares in Sardinia. It is in front of the provincial palace. Nearby you can find everything, shops, restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias, public gardens, in addition to one of the most important things, that is, both underground and outdoor parking. (Original) Sicuramente Piazza Italia a Sassari è una delle piazze più belle della Sardegna. È antistante il palazzo della provincia.

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience, I was followed by more than professional staff, first and foremost the Director who accompanied me with my shopping. "Satisfied" does not make it a term: truly satisfied with the items purchased from the shirts/t-shirts to the trousers and shoes. More than positive opinion (Original) Esperienza eccellente, sono stato seguito da personale più che professionale con in primis il Direttore che mi ha accompagnato nella spesa.

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cattedrale di San Nicola is a medieval Romanesque cathedral that boasts a later baroque facade, as well as Gothic and neoclassical features. Its left side showcases an intriguing blend of architectural styles due to the building's 600-year construction period which features elements from Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical eras. The elaborate frontal design is impressive but visitors should not neglect exploring the rest of the cathedral.
If you like to visit very beautiful churches, here's one for you! Everything about this magnificent church is impressive. I visited twice in three days. Quite amazing!!!

Pretty neat and ornate church. Disappointing it was closed when we arrived so we could not see the interior.

Explore the beautifully maintained cathedral with its intriguing features and a hint of mystery. The narrow streets make it more enjoyable to walk rather than drive, especially if you are unfamiliar with these tiny roads. Discover the cathedral's charming rooms for dining and meetings.
Elena M — Google review
Churches are not exactly an endangered species in Italy. After a while the memory of visiting one gets mixed up with the memory of visiting another. Except here. The Duomo boasts some seriously impressive architecture. Outside the huge Spanish baroque-style facade is breathtaking. Inside the church is divided into numerous chapels, each has a description in both Italian and English. The highlight of a visit to Sassari.
David S — Google review
The left side of the cathedral is perhaps the most interesting aspect of this building because it reveals several architectural styles. Since it took 600 years to complete, the cathedral mixes Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements. The ornate facade will not fail to impress, but don't let it stop you from checking out the rest of the building.

We were dissapointed, because we expected nice park in the city with fountains, nice trees, etc. Fountains were not working, one water storage near to entrance was unmaintained, the lawn was nice + some nice olive or lemon trees, but it's not worth to spend there more then 15minutes.

Restaurant
I really enjoyed dining at 140 Grammi - Via Carbonazzi. The spaghetti was fantastic, and the portions were generous. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. However, the only downside was the small and cold bathroom, with no facilities for disabled individuals. This simple yet charming restaurant serves delicious seafood pasta at reasonable prices. It's important to note that the dishes are quite large and can be shared between two people. I appreciated the tasteful indoor decor featuring posters.
Best meal so far In Sardinia, food was delicious and great service. Good price for quality of food. We leave happy !!

"quantity" restaurant with below average food, just large portions. Honest horse steak, bad roasted potatoes, terrible house wine. Frozen mixed fried seafood (edible).
Luigi C — Google review
The portions are very large, we tried carbonara , amatriciana and vongole cozze. The sauces of carbonara and amatriciana were heavy, with the size of the portion they were a bit too much. On the plus side, the order arrived very quickly, and the price is attractive for the amount of food you are getting. Perhaps it is a good advice to order one place to split with a friend.

We had 6 days in a row dinner in this restaurant. Roberto and Amadeo are very nice people and their food is EXCELLENT. We had 5 days different fish dished and once their steak filet and enjoyed them all. The service and personal attention they provide their customers is outstanding. We had every night a good bottle of Sardinian wine which was of great quality. A dinner with everything included will cost you between €35, €/45 per person, including starter/main dish/water/wine/desert and coffee. But it is really worth it's price. We can only recommend and are sure you will enjoy it.. We would like to thank Roberto for having us and taking care of us. Gilbert & Denise Brussels - Belgium

L'Assassino, a renowned Sardinian restaurant, offers an exceptional dining experience. However, advance table reservations are essential due to its popularity. The menu showcases traditional cuisine with excellent quality and freshness of ingredients. Generous portions are served, offering a good balance between cost and value. A must-try dish is the highly recommended "Maialetto," which ranks among the best in Sardegna.
Very nice dinner place in Sassari! Best to make a reservation as it’s full! Amazing dishes, the snails are not to miss and we also liked the porchetta a lot. Portions are huge but prices not, so great value for money!

The food doesn't need an introduction. The restaurant has been there a lifetime, and they have mastered proper Sassari traditional dishes. The service, managed by three young ladies, is without any doubt the best you can get anywhere. They are attentive but not intrusive, make eye contact while interacting with the guests, and overall have an affable approach to the customers’ needs, a proper, chilled, professional restaurant experience rather than a feeding exercise, which is common in Italy. Really enjoyed.

Il Vecchio Mulino is a charming restaurant located in the old town of Sassari, offering an authentic taste of Italian and Sardinian cuisine. The rustic ambiance and locally sourced ingredients create a memorable dining experience. Visitors praise the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and delicious, fresh dishes. The menu may be small but offers mouth-watering options with excellent service that goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests.
First time in Sassari, first time to this restaurant. If I ever make it back to this town, it will be the only place I’d go for food as it was so top-notch that in my point of view nothing would be able to beat it. Excellent service and athmosphere, but this only give a tony extra to the quality and awesomeness of the food we had… highly, highly recommended for people who are not seekinf huge portions but good quality and mouth-watering taste. Compliments to the team again, as I did in person after finishing our magnificent experience at this place today. 5* and more :)

Definitely one of the most memorable dinners I had during my time in Sassari. The food was exceptional with rich taste and it was beautifully arranged. This is a must for anyone who enjoys local food. Since it is in a vault it can get a bit noisy at times.

We had a family meal here that was really nice. The restaurant was busy for a Tuesday night but we were seated to our reserved table promptly. The menu has seafood, vegetarian and meat options across all pages. The setting of the restaurant was slightly below ground with clean beautiful and brightly lit vaulted ceilings adorning our view. The bathroom was small for a restaurant this size (probably seats up to 100 people), but I find it hard to find much else to rate this restaurant down. There was a handful of children all very well behaved and the servers were very approachable and friendly. The bells of the old church were ringing when we arrived in the evening and we left with a big smile.

Friday night, the place was packed but the service was still good. I didn't come here with the idea of eating a pizza but their gourmet pizza section was very appealing and the (forgot its name) pizza with courgette cream, caramelised red onion and buffalo mozzarella was a spectacular combination, on a perfectly executed pie. The Irish picanha with roasted potatoes was excellent as well (although a bit over market price in Sassari). However, no regrets. A great dinner.

Great food. The steak I had was really delicious, very tender. The tiramisu as one of my favorite desserts was a great choice, also delicious, 100% mascarpone. The patio inside is quite nice. Service could be better, as a foreigner staff kept talking to me in Italian even noticing I don’t speak the language, I managed to just pointing things at the menu (menu in Italian only also) but they could be friendlier or at least show some openness if they don’t speak English. A little bit overpriced but the food worth it.

I can’t accept they only get 4.3 right now, cause it’s much better than that, I definitely give this restaurant 10 out of 10, for their considerate services and amazing foods!
