Traditions of Sardinia
A cuisine of memories
The menu of La Ciminea recovers ancient recipes of Sardinian families, highlighting traditional ingredients with modern cooking methods and unprecedented combinations.
Wild herbs, roots and ancient berries meet delicious meats, fresh fish, locally sourced vegetables, and cheeses from small local producers.
Rare and precious wines
900 labels
The traditional Sardinian cuisine of La Ciminea naturally matches the 900 labels of our winery, ranging from Sardinia to Tuscany and Piedmont, all the way to France. An excellent selection of champagnes keeps company to rare and precious bottles. Each wine is available from different years.
Minimalist and natural cuisine
The kitchen of La Ciminea is directed by Chef Gianfranco Mameli, an aficionado of local ingredients and connoisseur of the most modern cooking techniques.
Precious experiences shared with talented chefs such as Masayuki Kondo at Locanda del Pilone, in Alba, and Michelangelo Mammoliti at La Madernassa, molded his philosophy in the kitchen. His collaboration with Fabio Barozzi, whom he worked with in the kitchen of Opificio Cucina e Bottega, in Novara, for almost 4 years, was crucial.
After his training in the most prestigious Piedmont kitchens, Chef Mameli is now back to the Sardinia of his origins with a plan of making the most of forgotten recipes and ingredients.
His cuisine is minimalist and natural, focused on giving back the proper value to the fruits of Sardinian lands, often coming from a poor tradition.
In his dishes you will find the warmth of family recipes, capable of bringing back to life the scents of home and of reawakening intimate memories.
Immersed in the nature of Arzachena
La Ciminea Restaurant is located within the Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru Resort in Arzachena, surrounded by a very pleasant garden with centuries-old olive trees.
