Andreini

Also in Alghero, Andreini is a Michelin-reviewed eatery with a menu that includes pasta, fish, meat — and a tasting menu if you want to try them all. Dishes are simple in terms of ingredients and bursting with complexity in terms of flavor. The wine list is not primarily regional, but instead is regularly rearranged to accompany the specials from the chef.
