If you are looking for a very good restaurant near the church, I can recommend the link above. It's called Ristorante Pizzeria Da Gino, also called Bar Pizzeria Malu. Piazza Don Gavino Pesi. San Teodoro. We were regulars there because it's incredibly delicious and great, friendly service. Open from 18:00 in the evening and also for lunch. 😁
