The story

Domo Sheffield: Award-Winning Sardinian Kitchen in Little Kelham

A home for Sardinian cooking

Domo Sheffield brings deeply traditional Sardinian cooking to the UK. Owner Raffaele Busceddu founded the spot because domo translates to home in Sardinia. The kitchen operates on a simple premise: everything is made in-house, prioritizing generous portions over micro-garnishes. This commitment to hearty, crowd-pleasing meals earned the venue a solid Good rating in the 2026 Good Food Guide.

The kitchen and its signatures

The menu opens with blistered pane carasau bread served alongside a rich, cheesy dip. Guests build their meal from antipasti like Sicilian arancini stuffed with beef ragù and melting Taleggio, or king prawns wrapped in crisp carasau pastry. Main courses highlight regional pasta such as culurgiones filled with potato, mint, and garlic, finished with a heavy pecorino and truffle sauce. The owner’s renowned fish stew anchors the seafood offerings. Desserts lean heavily on classic techniques. The tiramisu arrives as a sturdy layer of coffee-soaked biscuits and mascarpone, while the affogato combines vanilla ice cream and espresso.

The room, drinks, and desserts

Housed on the ground floor of Eagle Works, the space preserves the exposed red brick and industrial echoes of its former life as a steel mill. A large terrace extends the dining area for evening aperitivi and sharing platters of cured wild boar ham, buffalo ricotta, figs, and truffle honey. The bar stocks a curated selection of Sardinian and regional Italian wines to match the rustic, unpretentious kitchen. Every element reflects the same straightforward philosophy that drives the rest of the operation. It is a place built for long conversations and substantial plates.

History

On the record

2026
The Good Food Guide — Good

This lively Sardinian restaurant, bar and deli, takes up much of the ground floor of the Eagle Works, an old red-brick former steel mill in a regenerated area of eco houses and commercial spaces known as Little Kelham. The sizeable dining room retains hints of its industrial past and and there's a large terrace for drinks and aperitivi – perhaps a sharing plate of, say, cured meats and pecorino with truffle honey and walnuts. Sardinia’s thin and crispy pane carasau ('music paper') bread comes nicely blistered and arrives with a creamy, cheesy dip. The menu is extensive, opening with a choice of bruschetta ranging from simple tomato, basil oil and garlic to aubergine, caramelised onion, figs and roasted almonds. They also offer a wide choice of antipasti, including well-made Sicilian arancini filled with beef ragù, peas and melting Taleggio or deep-fried king prawns with a crispy carasau coating. There are salads and pizzas too, while pasta features Sardinia's own culurgiones – fat little parcels filled with potato, cheese, mint and garlic, here finished with a pecorino and truffle sauce. Owner Raffaele Busceddu's fish stew is renowned and, with 48 hours’ notice, he will prepare a feast of roast suckling pig with all the trimmings. Desserts come into their own with a classic tiramisu, ricotta-filled cannoli and affogato, the vanilla ice cream drowned in amaretto and further drowned in a shot of espresso. This is generous, hearty, bold and crowd-pleasing food with not a micro-leaf in site – all backed by a list of Sardinian and regional Italian wines.
