This restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone who appreciates authentic and thoughtfully prepared Sardinian cuisine. What truly stood out was the pasta – absolutely amazing. It had a unique and refined flavor profile: it started with a subtle bitterness that gradually unfolded into a gentle sweetness by the end. The balance of flavors was unexpected and truly memorable. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and the preparation is done with real skill and care.

I went here last night with a friend and we had the BEST time. It is such a hidden gem in Putney and we will 1000% be going back and recommending to friends! The food was so tasty and the Owner was so warm and welcoming. We had a glass of his house wine, which he imports from his very own vineyard in Sardinia. Delicious! The fruit tart to finish the night is a must if you go. I have been thinking about it since waking up today. I’ll be back for more! The decor is really smart and we were impressed as soon as we arrived. Even the seats were super comfy - something we noticed. You won’t regret booking here :) it is such a special place and really well run. Ps my photos are half portions, as my friend and I wanted to share and try everything together so the chef kindly split into separate plates!

This is a hidden gem in Putney. Fantastic place!! The owner from Sardinia and his wife are very very friendly and their food is amazing!! I think you can’t have this kind of authentic Italian food in London. Just follow what they recommend. And you will be in Italy!!

What can I say, if you are a lover of great food and amazing wine then you need to visit Artisans of Sardinia. From the moment we entered we were greeted by Massimo, and straight away we could see the passion he has for not only his food but also for his delicious wine. You can see the attention to detail in every dish that is served and the Octopus is the best I have ever eaten by far, this was followed by the suckling piglet which was out of this world, it literally melted in our mouths. We only wish we had discovered this gem of a restaurant sooner. Thanks again for an amazing evening Massimo, we will be back soon.

I had an absolute wonderful dinner there last night with my girlfriend. From start to finish the food and service was brilliant. The owner Massimo greeted us on arrival and had a great conversation with us and made us feel very welcome. Our waiter Giuseppe was so attentive and knowledgeable throughout about all the dishes and the wine list. Every dish we had was absolutely beautiful, in particular the octopus dish and the handmade pasta in our mains. There was so much flavour in every dish that all worked very well together. Overall it was a brilliant experience, superb food and I will 100% come back again and again.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner at Artisans of Sardinia, Massimo helped my family to plan a surprise for me and then served us a delightful tasting menu! Would highly recommend, especially the tiramisu

Artisans of Sardinia is well worth a visit for the food as well as the service, one of the best restaurants in south west London. Really incredible flavours and balanced dishes. Demands multiple visits to try everything on the menu
