About Little Sardegna
Little Sardegna is an Italian restaurant at 170 Blackstock Rd in London, serving home-made Sardinian specialities in a dining room filled with knick-knacks. The menu is small and built around pasta, including a truffle pasta and a ragu, while a specials board adds further pasta dishes. Homemade tiramisu finishes the meal. Candles and music set the scene in a compact, neighbourhood-style space, and traditional table service is led by the chef and the owner's team. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the pasta, with the truffle pasta described as generous with the truffle and a specials board pasta called some of the nicest one diner has had. The ragu is named as the stand out dish, and close behind come the homemade tiramisu, the bruschetta and a caprese salad described as the freshest and tastiest one reviewer has had. Many call the food authentic and traditional, and one says it felt like being transported to Italy. Diners also mention friendly staff, a chef who comes across as very nice, wine matched to the food, and a charming, welcoming interior with candles. Several describe the value as reasonable, though one reviewer says it sits on the more expensive side. The one critical account calls the meal mediocre, with brusque service on a very busy night and okay food that felt very expensive for what it was. Several reviewers say they plan to return, and one has already passed the name and address to about four people.

“Mediocre. Never again ! I read the highly positive reviews so I went there. The service was brusque, it was very busy, and while the food was okay it was very expensive for what it was. Still trying to fathom why so many five star reviews were given.”
