Eleven years ago, Antonio Gallo and Pietro Vardeu became pioneer restaurateurs in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood of Miami Beach. Now, they’ve opened a second location of Sardinia, which is named after the Italian island where Vardeu grew up.
“Our restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine versus the traditional Italian-American cuisine that most people are used to,” says Gallo, who hails from Torino, Italy. “Traditional Sardinian food includes bottarga, which is a delicacy and is basically salted, cured fish roe, typically of the grey mullet or the bluefin tuna. We cook most of our meat and fish in a wood-burning oven.”
