Fodor's Expert Review Ristorante Craf da Banana

The brick walls, dim lighting, and arched ceilings here make you feel as if you've stepped into a wine cellar. Aged photographs of Oristano's Sa Sartiglia jousting festival and specialty dishes from Oristano and Montiferru do a good job capturing local flavor. Favorites include lorighittas (a local pasta), either with venison and mushrooms or tuna, maccarones de busa al ragù di pescatrice e arselle (macaroni with clams), and pane frattau (carasau bread in a sauce of tomatoes and sheep's cheese topped with a poached egg). Alternatively, try the fregola con gamberi (semolina pasta with prawns, mushrooms, and mullet roe from the Cabras lagoon).
