Costa Smeralda · Romantic Dining 2026

Tables made for falling in love

Candlelit terraces over the marina, live shows beneath the stars, and menus crafted for the most unforgettable evenings on the Emerald Coast.

Curated selection Michelin-starred & dinner shows Bespoke proposals on request

Few places in the Mediterranean have built a reputation for romance the way Costa Smeralda has. For decades, the same line has followed visitors home: it’s impossible not to fall in love in Costa Smeralda. The coastline simply lends itself to it — granite coves catching the last light of day, marinas glowing under candlelight, the slow tempo of a long Sardinian dinner that always seems to end too soon.

At Top Reservation we’ve spent years getting to know the chefs, the maîtres and the rooms behind every great evening on this coast. The selection below is our shortlist for couples who want more than a meal — refined settings, exceptional kitchens, service that anticipates the next move. On request, we arrange the full bespoke experience: a private table for two with a personalised menu, dedicated waiter, custom setup, candles and rose petals.

The romantic dinner package

A table set for two, and nothing else to worry about

Personalised tasting menu agreed in advance with the chef. Dedicated waiter assigned to your table for the entire evening. Bespoke table setup — candles, rose petals, and any specific request from a hidden ring to a private musician. We handle every detail so the only thing left to do is arrive.

The Michelin address

★ Michelin Star · Italia 2026

Italo Bassi — Confusion Restaurant

Promenade du Port · Porto Cervo

A Michelin-starred destination in the heart of the Promenade du Port, overlooking the old harbour of Porto Cervo. The dining room reads as elegant and contemporary — restrained furnishings, warm Mediterranean light, an atmosphere that balances exclusivity with genuine comfort.

Chef Italo Bassi draws on more than four decades of international experience, working almost exclusively with Sardinian produce — recognisable but never predictable, the kind of cooking that surprises without theatrics. Easily the most accomplished kitchen on the Costa Smeralda.

Disco restaurants & dinner shows

CouCou Rooftop

Dinner show

Poltu Quatu

CouCou is built around the performance, not just the table. Actors and dancers move between the guests throughout the evening, turning each course into something closer to theatre than service. The food is serious — but the spectacle is what makes regulars return year after year.

Marro by JustMe

Dinner show

Porto Cervo

The newest jewel on the coast and the most talked-about opening of the season. Marro pairs an inventive fusion sushi menu with a live show programme that runs through the entire dinner. Bold flavours, sharper aesthetics — easily one of the most ambitious arrivals Porto Cervo has seen in years.

Terrazza del Marchese

Panoramic

Poltu Quatu

Eighty covers, one terrace, and a view that looks straight out over the La Maddalena archipelago. The kitchen draws on classic Roman and Sardinian traditions, while the bar lineup leans into signature cocktails built around local botanicals. Reservations are essential — and tables go fast in high season.

Nammos Restaurant

Beachfront

Нижняя Сардиния

An address that needs no introduction. The Greek-born Mediterranean institution brings its Mykonos formula to Sardinia: fresh fish brought tableside, Aegean-inflected dishes, and that distinctive blue-and-white aesthetic. Toes-in-the-sand luxury done with an effortlessness very few venues manage to imitate.

CUE Restaurant

Marina

Porto Cervo Marina

Tucked directly into Porto Cervo Marina and accessible by tender straight from the yacht. The setting does much of the work — dock lights breaking on the water, the slow rhythm of boats coming in — and the kitchen rises to it with a contemporary menu that draws an international clientele looking for sophistication without affectation.

IT Restaurant

Design-led

Porto Cervo

More installation than restaurant. IT Costa Smeralda treats the room as a piece of contemporary design in its own right — clean lines, sculptural lighting, an atmosphere closer to a Milanese gallery than a coastal dining room. The kitchen matches the tone with precise, modern Italian cooking built around Mediterranean produce.

Crazy Pizza

Porto Cervo Marina

Glamour & events

Flavio Briatore’s pizza concept reimagined for the Costa Smeralda crowd — a panoramic terrace over the Marina, a dynamic event calendar running through the season, and an atmosphere that consistently lands somewhere between Saturday-night dinner and full-blown party. One of the most reliably glamorous evenings in one of Italy’s most exclusive postcodes.

🍕 Signature concept · 🌅 Panoramic terrace · 🎉 Themed event nights

All venues require advance reservation, especially from mid-July through August. For bespoke romantic setups — personalised menus, private tables, candles and rose petals, hidden proposals — please request the package at the time of booking so we can coordinate directly with the venue.
