I recently returned to Sardo after not having been for about a year. On this occasion it was a lunchtime walk in with my business partner who was over from LA.
Returning to Sardo was like running into a a very dear old friend who for one reason or another one has not seen for a while. Nothing had really changed much be it the simple decor or olives and the perfect Pane carasau, or carta da musica, the traditional flatbread from Sardinia.
Sardo and Primrose Hill sister Sardo Canale remains in my opinion the best Sardinian restaurant in London . To check standards were high I could not resist the Spaghetti a la Bottarga to start and it was truly sensational made with a generous quantity of top class Sardinian Grey Mullet roe not the cheap pulvarised stuff often used in inferior restaurants. My companion joined me on both the Spaghetti and to follow a simple but beautifully executed grilled medium rare dish of Yellowfin Tuna with asparagus , cherry tomatoes and rocket.
We shared a portion of Sebadas (Sardinian puff pastries with honey) with our espresso's before heading off to our next meeting.
I need to return soon for a longer meal and to revisit the excellent Sardinain and Italian centric wine list.

It's a great restaurant and also haven't been there in a while, no idea why.
That bottarga dish is deeply sexy.
I find Canale a bit of a let down, but Sardo always hits the spot. Delighted to hear standards haven't slipped.
Great review, have walked past Sardo many times as it's 5 mins from where I live. Now definitely going to try it, love spaghetti a la bottarga!

Great review, have walked past Sardo often and LOVE spaghetti a la bottarga so will have to give this a try :)
Anthony agree about Canale it has never been as good perhaps it has been adapted for the Primrose Hill set ?
Sig am I right in thinking you love bottarga :-)
