About the restaurant, Il Ragno Blu

Il Ragno Blu is a charming, family run restaurant serving modern, International and traditional Sardinian dishes, as well as a wide range of wood fired pizzas. Its elevated position offers far reaching views over the Sardinian countryside and the bay of Santo Stefano. Il Ragno Blu is a beautiful place to dine and watch the sun go down.

The Menu

Menu choices include many seafood dishes including some Sardinian favourites…

  • Mussel & Arselle soup
  • Risotto with cuttlefish ink
  • Vernaccia bass with olives, potatoes and tomatoes

Wood fired pizzas include the following types…

  • Seafood
  • Courgette
  • Speck and rocket

Lobster with spaghetti is highly recommended. Atop the flavour filled al dente pasta is succulent lobster cooked to perfection. Portion sizes are big enough to share so if dining alone, order a starter to come out as the main course. Chances are it will still be too much…
