CARNISSAGE: WHERE FIRE BECOMES AN ART FORM

Carnissage has arrived and joins the best restaurants in Costa Smeralda. After a successful debut in the heart of Milan, this distinctive dining concept has chosen Poltu Quatu as the location for its second venue, opening in early June 2026. Positioned strategically near Porto Cervo and in close proximity to the W Hotel, Carnissage brings a refined approach to meat cookery that elevates the experience well beyond the traditional steakhouse model. The concept is built on the idea that fire is not just a cooking method but a philosophy, a gesture, a form of expression that transforms premium ingredients into something extraordinary.
PREMIUM SOURCING AND CONTROLLED SUPPLY CHAINù
What sets Carnissage apart from other meat focused restaurants is its direct relationship with the supply chain. The brand operates alongside Meat Premium, a family business and one of Italy most respected names in premium meat distribution. This connection gives the restaurant access to a consolidated network of international breeders of the highest calibre, with selections ranging from the pastures of Galicia in Spain to renowned cattle farms in Australia. Every cut served at Carnissage has been traced, selected and verified before it reaches the grill, ensuring a level of quality and consistency that few restaurants in the Mediterranean can match.
THE DINING EXPERIENCE
Carnissage transforms the consumption of premium meat into a complete sensory experience. The interior design is modern and carefully considered, with every detail contributing to an atmosphere of understated luxury. The open fire cooking station allows guests to observe the preparation process, adding a theatrical element to the evening. Dishes are plated with precision and served by a team trained to guide guests through the different cuts, cooking methods and flavour profiles available on the menu.
Beyond beef, the menu at Carnissage includes a thoughtful selection of accompaniments, seasonal produce and lighter options that complement the meat focused offering. The wine list has been assembled to pair with robust flavours, featuring bold reds alongside more delicate selections for those who prefer a lighter pairing. Cocktails and after dinner drinks round out the experience.
