The Perla Blu menu: seafood cuisine, Sardinian flavours and options for everyone

The Perla Blu menu was born in a place where the sea is not just scenery, but part of the restaurant’s identity. The terrace overlooking Cala Gavetta accompanies a menu built mostly on seafood cuisine, with dishes ranging from raw seafood to first courses, from catch of the day to local lobster.

The choice is wide but readable: those looking for a light lunch, a seafood dinner or a more complete experience can find different paths within the same menu.

Raw seafood and appetisers

The raw seafood section includes local oysters, scampi, red prawns and tuna tartare with wakame seaweed and wasabi mayonnaise. It’s an ideal start for those wanting to begin with clean, marine, direct flavours.

Appetisers alternate tradition and more refined dishes: stewed baby octopus with homemade bread croutons, mussels au gratin with Sardinian pecorino zabaglione, salt-and-pepper prawns, Cantabrian Sea anchovies with mountain butter, roasted octopus with stracciatella and confit cherry tomatoes. The menu also features bolder proposals such as perfect egg with truffle and gratinated marrow with raw red Mazara prawn and truffle.

First courses: fregola, clams, lobster

The first courses speak clearly of the sea. Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta) with seafood recalls the Sardinian tradition, while spaghetti with clams is a timeless classic of Mediterranean cuisine. For those looking for a more important dish, the menu offers spaghetti with lobster and spaghetti with local lobster, both designed for at least two people.

Alongside the seafood dishes, you’ll also find lasagna Bolognese and tagliolini with white and black truffle and truffle cream.

Second courses: catch of the day, lobster and meat alternatives

The catch of the day can be prepared grilled, Mediterranean style, with Vernaccia or salt-baked. It’s one of the proposals most tied to the moment and to the availability of the product. The menu also features sesame tuna tataki, fried calamari and prawns, and local lobster grilled or steamed.

For those who prefer meat, the menu includes breadstick-crusted cutlet and grilled Black Angus with chimichurri sauce and homemade potatoes.

Vegan options, side dishes and desserts

Perla Blu is not limited to seafood. The menu also includes a vegan section with eggplant parmigiana, lemon and rosemary scialatielli with vegetable cream and confit cherry tomatoes, and a chickpea burger with red onion jam and vegetable cream.

To finish, classic and creative desserts: homemade seadas with honey (a Sardinian specialty), panna cotta with raspberry sauce, apple pie with vanilla cream, tiramisu, “I thought I was a cappuccino” and pineapple ravioli with coconut, ginger and raspberry sauce.

A cuisine to enjoy on the harbour

The Perla Blu menu is designed to accompany its setting: a harbourside terrace, the centre of La Maddalena just steps away and a cuisine that brings together sea, Sardinia, Mediterranean and some more international proposals.
