Deste’s team creates something more than a simple meal, designing an experience through the careful use of flavors and raw materials.

The menu changes seasonally so that the impressive chefs can take advantage of what the region has offer. The team’s spring Aug21658 Deste Wine Restaurant and Boutique Bar Best Dining & Cocktail Experience Provider - Sardinia menu included such tastebud tantalising joys as roasted cuttlefish, saffron mayo, miller eggnog, fondant potatoes and roasted peas transforming as the months progress to include charming options such as tuna tartare, vanilla risotto and roasted octopus. The tuna tartare reflects, perhaps, the way in which the team have achieved their success on a culinary level.
