Dinner only, from 19:00 to 22:30, March to October. Book: it is a small dining room in the old town.
A family house in a Sa Costa courtyard
The Locanda di Corte is tucked away in a medieval courtyard on Via del Pozzo, in Bosa's old town, among the houses that climb towards the castle. It was opened by Angela and Angelo in July 2013; in 2016 their son Nicola Ibba, who had worked as a cook in restaurants all over Italy, came home, and today he runs the kitchen. In 2023 the family also opened a small hotel in the same courtyard. It is a small dining room, for quiet dinners, in the part of the centre where cars cannot go.
What to order
The idea of the house is to take the traditional Sardinian recipes, from the cooking of the poor, and remake them with today's technique. The menu changes with the season and always has meat, fish and vegetarian dishes.
For starters, cuttlefish salad with grey mullet bottarga (€16), grilled octopus with chickpea hummus (€18), tuna tartare with citrus and fennel, or the mustela, a typical pork cured meat, with sweet-and-sour red onion (€16). For first courses, fregula with mussels, clams and tomato (€18), pasta buttons filled with sea bass with prawn bisque (€20), ricotta and chard ravioli (€15), tagliolini with a white donkey ragù (€17) or the zichi di Bonorva, a bread-pasta from inland Sardinia, with wild boar ragù and fiore sardo cheese from Gavoi.
If you do not want to decide, there is the "Fai Tu" menu: the chef chooses according to the day and you only say whether you prefer meat, fish or vegetarian and whether you have allergies. There is a four-course one for €45 and a six-course one for €60, the same for the whole table, and a three-glass wine pairing for €15.
What it costs
With starter, first course, main course and dessert à la carte, reckon €50–65 per person without wine; the four-course menu with pairing comes to €60.
When to go and how to get there
It is open from March to October, dinner only, from 19:00 to 22:30. Its website is not entirely consistent about the days: one page says Monday to Saturday and another, every day; if you go on a Sunday, call beforehand. It is right in the limited-traffic zone: leave the car by the river and walk up a few minutes from the Corso. Book by phone or on the form on its website.
What to order: the four-course menu (€45), and if you go à la carte, the zichi di Bonorva with wild boar ragù and fiore sardo or the fregula with mussels and clams
