Sardo review by Muffingos

Being half Sardinian myself and also having grown up in Sardinia, I was very curious to try out Sardo.

Sadly I was most disappointed, the starters were indeed small, and I was unfortunate enough to hear the owner chastising the waitress for the 'big size' of our starters.

The most disappointing thing however, was definitely the malloreddus dish. This is my most favourite dish in the world, but at Sardo’s I found the pasta to be very undercooked (we’re not talking al dente here, it was like it had just been dipped in hot water) and the delicious sauce that goes with it was bland and far too salty. It is the worst malloreddus I have ever tasted.

My husband tried the sardinian sausage and whilst it was edible, it was about as Sardinian as the Tower of London.

Sebadas is a delicious dessert of light puff pastry, fried, with beautiful gooey cheese in the middle and topped with honey. This is not what I got. Instead I got heavy pastry that resembled a cornish pasty.

My advice would be to save your hard earnt cash and instead of paying through your nose for a meal at Sardo's, catch a flight to Sardinia and try the real thing!
