Restaurant of the Sant'Efis Hotel on Su Guventeddu beach, next to the Nora ruins, open to outside guests. Sardinian and seafood cooking, listed in the Michelin guide.

On the beach, next to Nora
Don Carlo is the restaurant of the Sant'Efis Hotel, on Su Guventeddu beach, within the bay of Nora, in Pula. It sits between the ruins of the Roman city and the Santa Vittoria headland, with the tables facing the sea and the Coltellazzo tower in the distance. Although it belongs to a hotel, it is open to outside guests, and the Michelin guide includes it in its 2026 selection. It is the lunch that fits best after visiting the archaeological site: you are a few minutes away by car.
What to order
The chef, Paolo Pusceddu, works Sardinian and sea produce with a contemporary touch. The menu changes between lunch and dinner; at lunch there are also salads. To start, there are barely blanched Label Rouge prawns, a raw-fish platter, amberjack tartare with mango gazpacho or Tortolì oysters when available. Among the first courses, two very Sardinian dishes: the handmade fregola cooked like a risotto with prawn sauce and Il Culurgione incontra il Mare, the culurgione in a seafood version. There are also spaghetti with clams, gnocchi with white veal ragù or a spaghetto with Pula's datterino tomatoes.
For a main course, the barely seared bluefin tuna cube, steamed meagre, fried squid and prawns, or lobster, spiny lobster and fish of the day to order. To finish, seadas, the Sardinian dessert of fried cheese with honey, or a "Sardo misù". The website does not publish prices; the Michelin guide places it in its middle price band (€€).
Booking and opening hours
The house recommends booking, especially if you are not staying at the hotel. You can do so through the form on its website, by email, by phone or by WhatsApp. The website does not publish the restaurant's opening hours or season dates; before going, especially outside the summer, confirm that it is open that day.
Getting there
From Cagliari, about 45 minutes by car along the Pula road; from the Nora site, a few minutes. If you come in summer, bring your swimming costume: the beach is in front.

Qué pedir: at midday, the handmade fregola cooked like a risotto with prawn sauce or the culurgione that meets the sea; for a main course, the barely seared bluefin tuna cube, and seadas for dessert

A tener en cuenta: Also open to guests from outside the hotel. Booking advisable. The website does not publish opening hours or season.
