Seafood cuisine in Olbia: a blend of freshness and seasonal produce

Fish is at the heart of the cuisine at Ristorante By Night. We select our ingredients according to availability and the season, creating a menu that combines Mediterranean cooking techniques, traditional flavours and more contemporary pairings.

Part of the menu may vary depending on the catch of the day. This allows us to pay closer attention to the quality of our ingredients and to offer dishes that showcase the different flavours of the sea throughout the year.

Our approach to cooking is rooted in simplicity: recognisable ingredients, meticulous preparation and well-balanced combinations. From raw dishes to grilled fish, every course is designed to ensure that the flavour of the main ingredient takes centre stage.

To find out what’s available from the catch of the day, you can ask the staff directly or contact us before your visit.

The menu also includes risotto with scampi, asparagus and chopped pistachios, and paccheri with lobster, available for a minimum of two people.

Main courses and catch of the day

The main courses include the catch of the day, grilled or Mediterranean-style sea bream, sliced yellowfin tuna in a flavoured breadcrumb coating, and fried squid.

The mixed grill combines prawns, squid and tuna, and is designed for those who want to sample a variety of seafood flavours in a single dish.

The species, weight and availability of the catch may vary depending on the day and the season.

Mediterranean specialities and the flavours of Sardinia

Being a seafood restaurant in Olbia means having a natural connection with the sea and with Sardinia’s produce.

On our menu, this identity is reflected in ingredients and dishes such as Olbia oysters and mussels, lorighittas, saffron, the catch of the day and seadas.

These elements complement a Mediterranean cuisine based on vegetables, citrus fruits, aromatic herbs and simple cooking methods.

Tradition serves as a starting point: we preserve its most distinctive flavours, presenting them with balance and a focus on the quality of the ingredients.
