The story
In the historic center of Cagliari, Marino e Silvana has earned a spot on the Michelin Guide for 2025, with the 2026 edition continuing to recommend the restaurant. The team’s philosophy centres on “materia, cuore, creatività… arte” – ingredients, heart, creativity, and art – resulting in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine that is both traditional and imaginative.
The restaurant describes its dishes as “semplici ma sorprendenti” – simple yet surprising. This is not fussy fine dining; rather, it is a thoughtful reworking of regional classics. A rich and ever-evolving wine list complements the menu, reflecting the same care and research that goes into the food.
Warmth and professionalism define the service. The owners speak of hospitality as their distinguishing trait (“l’accoglienza è il tratto distintivo”), and guests consistently praise the elegant yet welcoming atmosphere. Diners can choose between indoor dining with air conditioning or outdoor seating when weather permits.
Located on via San Salvatore da Horta, Marino e Silvana is open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday. Whether you are exploring Sardinian cuisine or seeking a refined evening out, this Cagliari address delivers authentic flavours with genuine warmth.
