As in most parts of Italy food in Alghero is an important thing. The town's fishing port provides seafood fresh from the sea. Make sure that you try Catalan lobster, lobster salad with raw tomatoes and onion. Ricci sea urchins are also very popular in Alghero with a festival being held in their honor around February during the "Sagra del Bogamarì".
A good restaurant where you can try typical dishes is 'Al Vecchio Mulino' the same management for 30 years (http://www.alvecchiomulin...)
