Just to throw some names, Isola Di Spargi, Isola di Budelli, La Maddalena, Caprera, Isola Razzoli are some names.
I could not wait for more to show you one of the best food I have eaten in my life! This masterpiece of food can be found in the province of Sassari and in Sardinia pretty much everywhere and is called Porceddu.
Porceddu means little pig in the dialect of Sardinia and you will be able to eat a baby pig, killed and cooked from you with the most delicious meat ever.
The little pig is killed, seasoned and all the guts and organs are removed and then served on a plate with no interiors.
Depending on the size of the baby pig you can share with your family and eat it all.
As weird as it sounds, in reality, if you go to a restaurant and order a Porceddu you will not leave not even a slice of meat on the table because it tastes delicious and it can be found only in Sardinia.
I Giggioni are another great pasta dish which are gnocchi seasoned with the sausage spindle and they taste like heaven on earth.
If you like sweets and desserts you must try the seadas al miele, which is a delicious dessert made with honey.
