The red wine "Cannonau" is the flagship of the area, as the best Italian expression of this variety aka Grenache in France and Garnatcha in Spain grows in Ogliastra. It is consumed as normal red wine, or, recalling some Spanish heritage, served byt the local chilled with cutted slices of peach in it; a sort of Sangria.Pubs and bars are mostly located in the coastal villages and near resorts, especially in the area around Tortoli and Arbatax.
Some nice places to eat are:
"La Peschiera" in Arbatax, the fishermen coop serves only fresh fish of the day, very rustical stay, in an open air restaurant inside of the fishing lagoon.
"Cooperativa Goloritze", in the mountains around the village of Baunei, in the hearth of the natural park, serves great roasted meat and handmade Culurgionis.
"Da Lenin" is a popular restaurant in Tortoli, modern style, with good selection of fish.
