Good food, service and ambience. The 'pizza man' was a sight to behold as he twirled the pizza bases while at the same time interacting with the customers. More

We went here based on tripadvisor reviews. It is in a back ally and basement, so there were no windows, but it felt cozy. The pizza was good. Overall, it was inexpensive and a nice experience. More

We wentTh to this restaurant based on a recommendation we got from a person in town. We were greeted at the door and immediately given a table. The service was excellent. We ordered a pizza with the same name as the restaurant. The pizza was good but the crust could have been crispier. We had a tomato salad and carafes... More

This is a really nice pizza place with great service and a jolly atmosphere. It's quite crowded and noise, but not in a disturbing way. I read about it in the rough guide and I'm glad I went there because I had a really good time. The food was great, pastas here are the real thing, you can feel the... More

I can't understand how this restaurant is recommended by many people. In my experience it is clearly below average. I had mixed Italian starters. The whole dish was very standard, and didn't feel like restaurant food at all. More like directly from can to plate. The biggest problem were the olives, which were the cheapest supermarket kind you can imagine.... More

A real favourite by all the locals and Italians in general. (I'm Italian, wife German..) I love the place for it's food (priority one for us Italians) service it's OK, location is a hole in the ground, price low. One of the best pizzas ever, if you like the real thing. Excellent pastas and good fish. If your priorities are:... More

One of the gripes with Alghero is not being able to find more traditional Italian restaurants, aimed more at locals than tourists. Al Vecchio is a very charming, cosy trattoria just a stones throw from the more touristy options, but with great food, and substantially cheaper than their neighbours. Also very family friendly, the only place we visited on our... More

I have been to Al Vecchio Mulino already twice and each time had the same impression: its a fair, old style Italian restaurant. By the way, it is indeed one of oldest restaurants in town and I was told that it always had the same owner! First time I went there, I had a pizza. It was made good, pizzaiolo... More

When I returned to Alghero last week I knew I would also be returning to Al Vecchio Mulino since that was one of my favorite restaurants from the first visit. Well, this time we went twice and had great food and good service both times! Everything from the wonderful spaghetti al vecchio mulino to the salad to espresso, was delicious!... More

This restaurant is popular with the locals so we thought it a good bet. The place itself is nice and not touristy but our food was very poor. My fish wasn't fully cooked and had no seasoning or garnish - just a fish plonked on a plate. My husband's calimari was better but again no finesse whatsoever. My pomodoro (tomato)... More
