Though beach going is a major attraction, along with the impressive scenery, it is food that is a famed draw.
The island's cuisine has been under the rule of the Spanish, influenced by the Genoese, and constantly changed by the passage of time. Island specialties include Cannonau (the local wine), Culurgiones (pasta filled with mint and pecorino cheese), porcheddu (a roasted pork), casu marzu (this is the famous "maggot cheese"), and the delicious seada for dessert. Thus, food and wine bring many to Sardinia, and some of the best restaurants must appear on your "must-do" list, as well.
