La Vela Ristorante Pizzeria

La Vela sits inside the Marina di Villasimius, the tourist port on Via degli Oleandri, with a terrace that looks straight over the moored sailboats and, in the evening, the sunset behind the harbor. Inside there is a climate-controlled dining room for hot afternoons or windy nights. The menu has two halves. One is fish: the kitchen buys daily from local markets and fishermen along the south Sardinian coast, so the board changes with what came in, typically tuna, sea bream, squid, mussels, shellfish and crustaceans, served raw, grilled or fried, with homemade pasta such as fregola with seafood and spaghetti allo scoglio. The other half is pizza from a wood-fired oven, made with Italian flours and a long-fermented dough. Olive oil, cheeses and wines come from Sardinian producers; for dessert there are seadas and tiramisu, and a slow-cooked suckling pig in cannonau reduction covers the meat side.

The restaurant opens every day for lunch from 11:00 to 15:00 and for dinner from 19:00, closing at 23:30 on weekdays and midnight on Saturday and Sunday. Tables can be booked online through the link on its website or by phone at +39 392 8780232, and in July and August the terrace seats are the first to go. Getting there from a rental in the town center is about 3 km on foot; most families drive, and in summer a shuttle runs between the port, the town and the main beaches every twenty minutes or so. There is free parking at the marina, and the beach at Porto Giunco, with its shallow water for small children, is close to the port. Because it is a pizzeria as well as a fish restaurant, a mixed group with picky eaters is easy to seat.
