The 10 best cheap eats in Carloforte

Best place for farinata and pizzetta carlofortina (margerita with anchovies). Recommended to take and eat by faro di caposandalo while looking at sunset

It was so good! The farinata is the best we've ever eaten and the pizza was very good as well. The atmosphere was authentic and super friendly, there was a sense of strong community. We went to this place twice because it was so lovely! Definitely recommend this place to everyone!

This was an amazing find and first meal in Carloforte. The kitchen is run by one pizza man and two delightful women that serve and take care of the customers. My Italian was terrible but they were patient with me and my two boys. The farinata was light, tasty and not what I would have expected from a chick pea pancake. The other customers were really sweet and welcoming too, like they were proud to share a secret that theyve been dining at for years. A giant pile of pizza for 2 bucks is also no joke. I may go again tomorrow.

Such a lovely place. Renowned family-run pizzeria, and my personal favorite pizza spot in Carloforte. Excellent farinata, good pizza with optional fontina. I just love the serving knife and the portioning technique. Good price.

Best pizza restaurant in Sardinia. Suggested 100%

(Translated by Google) We came to Gisa's because we were curious to try Carloforte's famous farinata. Gisa's is one of the most famous and popular pizzerias in Carloforte, so we absolutely had to try it. We arrived around 7:00 PM and there was already a pretty long line. At this place, you can order pizza by the slice: margherita, red pizza without mozzarella, and farinata. The lady who cuts the pizza and farinata and prepares the trays is very kind and prepared us a portion of pizza with margherita, a red pizza without mozzarella, and two portions of farinata, one to take away and one to eat right away, fresh from the oven. Needless to say, it was really good, and in its simplicity, it's truly worth a try. If you find yourself in Carloforte, I recommend stopping by, standing in line, and trying the farinata—you won't regret it! (Original) Siamo arrivati da Gisa perché eravamo curiosi di assaggiare la famosa farinata di Carloforte. Da Gisa è una delle pizzerie più famose e gettonate di Carloforte, dunque volevamo assolutamente provarla. Siamo arrivati verso le 19:00 e c'era già una fila piuttosto lunga. In questo locale è possibile ordinare la pizza al pezzo margherita, rossa senza mozzarella e la farinata. La signora che taglia la pizza e la farinata e prepara i vassoi è molto gentile e ci ha preparato una porzione di pizza con margherita, una di pizza rossa senza mozzarella e due porzioni di farinata, una da portar via e una da mangiare subito appena sfornata. Inutile dire che era veramente buona e nella sua semplicità merita veramente di essere assaggiata. Se vi trovate a Carloforte, consiglio di fare un salto qui, fare la fila e provare la farinata, non ve ne pentirete!

Not one person was at the tables. Ask for a pizza take away and they exploded on me. Telling me it’s impossible they are so busy. Nothing was happening. They said I can sit down and have a pizza and the pizza will be ready in 15 mins. Then I said so why can’t I have a take away then? And they went crazy again 😂 So basically don’t ask for a take away.

Super place located just off the harbour front. Very wide choice of good quality pizzas. Very friendly staff willing to please.

My first pizza in Italy. Wow! Fried Calzone!? Amazing and only €7 takeaway.

Great place with a huge selection. Excellent italian pizza, thin crust, great ingredients.

Wow, a pizza that can go toe to toe with the best of Napoli. Try the Terra dei Fuochi.

Super pizza. Never had pizza like this. Thank you.

Fantastic price-performance ratio. And yes, the pizzas are also delicious.

The food was delicious, the service was good, and the prices were fair. A great dining experience overall!

Great spot. Nuce crowd. Cannot be wrong here. But. Ordered the smoked burrata, did get the normal one. Ordered the gluten free spaghetti, great they offered it. But was really hard. Not al dente. Beer was awesome. Price quality is great.

One of the best pizzas I have ever had. The softer mozzarella melt ever on my Margherita. Good position and easy to find. Nice waitress/waiters. Outside seats. Reasonably prices.

The pizzas were very good, I believe it was the best pizza I have eaten this year. The service was not great, it took way too long to get attention by the waiter.

I suggest pizza Carlofortina, it has pesto (genovese origin of the island inhabitants) and tuna (the island has a tuna fishing plant from 600 years). Personell is super nice also giving hints about the village. Craft beer are expensive as a pizza but icnusa beer is cheap.

Very very good pizza 🍕

This is a poor restaurant and a worse pizzeria. Don't waste your time and money here. The pizza capricciosa had store bought cooked ham sandwich slices and a few black olives and capers. Rubbish. The pizza Partenope had almost nothing on it, a little prosciutto crudo and some smeared cheese on bare foccaccia. The pepate de cozze and vongole had precious few vongole and cozze which had been cooked at lunchtime for dinner. The owner smiles nicely but I would look elsewhere if I were you. Carloforte has a few good places to eat. This isn't one of them.

Sounds like a family owned pizza restaurant. The pizza and house wine were both perfect for the price paid. Much better than pricey tourist restaurant we dined last night in downtown.

A nightmare of 2 hrs to have a few below-par pizzas (we did book the day before). No aircon or ventilation. Only positive point are the waiters who really tried hard and very courteous. Overall: dont go!

Great authentic place, best in class for price and quality! Highly recommended.

Great quality at a reasonable price. The space Inside is much larger than expected by the exterior appearance. The atmosphere is welcoming but not excessively sophisticated. In other words you feel at home.

This is definitely the best pizzeria of Carloforte. Good service, very good pizza and most importantly LOW PRICES. Heavily recommended especially for those who don't wanna spend too much but still wanna have a satisfying and filling pizza dinner.

Very good pizza, poor antipasti plancha. Nice ambiance !

Excellent pizza, kind staff, quiet location despite being in town. I would recommend it.

Such a welcoming restaurant! The service was outstanding and the food was good. We truly felt like locals!

Wonderful spot for lunch

Delicious food!! Interesting flavors and great service!

The best Capunadda you can eat is made here.

Mario is always the TOP!

This is one of the best places in Carloforte we love you.

Best food in Carloforte

We got these small wrap style pizza take-aways - a small pizza rolled and served in a piece of paper. never had anything like this before. it was delicious. also the lady at the counter was really nice and helpful. only 6,50€ for two of these!

Very good pizza, for a cheap price and super friendly owners. Best place you can go in Carloforte, also seems like all the locals are going here

One of THE best pizzas I’ve ever had. Simple and tasty. A locals favorite. Don’t leave Carloforte without trying it!

Local pizzeria with friendly owners, great prices and taste

The best pizza of the island :-)

Nice place to eat a great pizza. On the hills near Carloforte.

Wonderful rustic pizza. Quick and delicious.

The best pizza on the Island

(Translated by Google) Excellent pizza, very soft dough. Not to mention the mussels, delicious. If you want to spend an evening in an environment reminiscent of old times, therefore familiar, it is the perfect pizzeria. I add a comment to the last review published, regarding the waiters. They give excellent advice and are of a kindness that is now rare. Compliments. (Original) Pizza ottima, impasto sofficissimo. Per non parlare delle cozze, squisite. Se si vuole passare una serata in un ambiente che ricorda i vecchi tempi, quindi familiare, è la pizzeria perfetta. Aggiungo un commento all'ultima recensione pubblicata, per quanto riguarda i camerieri.. Danno ottimi consigli e sono di una gentilezza ormai rara. Complimenti.

(Translated by Google) Pizzeria outside the center of Carloforte which only opens in summer, as it doesn't have an internal room you can eat outside. Plastic tables and chairs, the environment is very informal but still nice. Very slow service, we waited an hour and a half before we could eat. Fries reheated and not fried at the moment. Neapolitan pizza with a high edge and a slightly thick dough that is just enough. Prices in line with the quality of the food. (Original) Pizzeria fuori dal centro di Carloforte che apre soltanto in estate, non disponendo di sala interna si mangia all'esterno. Tavoli e sedie di plastica, l'ambiente è molto informale ma comunque carino. Servizio lentissimo, abbiamo atteso un'ora e mezzo prima di poter mangiare. Patatine fritte scaldate e non fritte al momento. Pizza napoletana con bordo alto e impasto un pò spesso appena sufficiente. Prezzi in linea con la qualità del cibo.

(Translated by Google) We went to this pizzeria just last night, on the recommendation of relatives who live on the island. Simple place, with spartan but essential furnishings. The service is also simple but welcoming. Clemente, the pizza chef, comes from the province of Naples, so this in itself, at least for me, represents a guarantee. And in fact this was the case: soft, light and well hydrated dough. We ordered a calzone with escarole and provola, a margherita and 3 margheritas with tomato fillet: delicious pizzas and above all they didn't leave you with that sense of insatiable thirst that you often get at the end of the evening after eating a pizza with poorly hydrated dough and chock full of yeast. Well done Clemente! (Original) Siamo stati in questa pizzeria proprio ieri sera, su consiglio di parenti che vivono sull'isola. Locale semplice, con arredamento spartano ma essenziale. Anche il servizio è semplice ma accogliente. Clemente, il pizzaiolo, viene dalla provincia di Napoli, per cui già questo, almeno per me, rappresenta una garanzia. Ed infatti così è stato: impasto morbido, leggero e ben idratato. Abbiamo ordinato un calzone con scarole e provola, una margherita e 3 margherite al filetto di pomodoro: pizze squisite e soprattutto non hanno lasciato quel senso di sete insaziabile che spesso ti viene, a fine serata, dopo aver mangiato una pizza dall'impasto poco idratato e pieno zeppo di lievito. Bravo Clemente!

(Translated by Google) Excellent Neapolitan pizza. We think it's the best on the island! The mussels and clams served as an appetizer are incredibly fresh. A great experience. (Original) Ottima pizza napoletana. Per noi la migliore dell'isola! Freschissime le cozze con le arselle proposte come antipasto. Ottima esperienza

The focaccia with stracchino is delicious

(Translated by Google) The focaccias are delicious, we especially enjoyed the stracchino one. The farinata is also delicious. The waits, however, are terrifying; there's only one person serving, and when someone comes to take a very large order, you get stuck for a long time. (Original) Le focacce sono deliziose, abbiamo apprezzato tanto soprattutto quella allo stracchino. Buonissima anche la farinata. Le attese però sono terrificanti, c'è solo una persona che serve e quando arriva qualcuno a prendere un ordine molto grosso ci si blocca per molto tempo

(Translated by Google) Simply the go-to place for decades for stracchino focaccia, farinata, and more. Very close to the ferry docks, the place is tiny and often very crowded. (Original) Semplicemente il punto di riferimento da decenni per la focaccia allo stracchino, la farinata e altro ancora. Vicinissimo agli imbarchi dei traghetti, locale minuscolo e spesso molto affollato

(Translated by Google) In my opinion, the best farinata in the city, the pizza by the slice is also delicious, very low prices. (Original) A mio avviso la miglior farinata della città, buonissima anche la pizza al taglio, prezzi bassissimi.

(Translated by Google) We got pizza in the evening. It was very good, and we'd be happy to come back. (Original) Wir haben abends Pizza geholt. Sehr gut und wir kommen gerne wieder.

(Translated by Google) Quick dinner, excellent value. The lady serving us was very friendly. (Original) Cena sbrigativa, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Molto cordiale la signora al servizio.

(Translated by Google) Excellent farinata just a few steps from the ferry dock (Original) Ottima farinata a pochi passi dall imbarco dei traghetti
