La Sella del Diavolo

Sitting right on the edge of Poetto Beach, La Sella del Diavolo takes its name from Cagliari's iconic headland — that dramatic rocky promontory that juts into the sea and defines the city's skyline. The café-restaurant serves up Italian and Sardinian bites from breakfast through lunch, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the menu. It's the kind of spot where the setting does half the work, with the beach stretching out in front of you and one of Cagliari's most recognizable landmarks looming above.
