Paper Moon Opens in Porto Cervo: the new restaurant in the Piazzetta at the Cervo Hotel

The historic Milanese hospitality brand is coming to Sardinia with a menu featuring contemporary Italian cuisine

Paper Moon, a Milanese icon of Italian hospitality around the world, has chosen Porto Cervo for summer 2026, bringing a new concept of conviviality to the Piazzetta: refined, international, yet with the naturally laid back feeling typical of the most exclusive holiday destinations.

After Milan, and a journey that has seen it land in cosmopolitan cities and locations such as London, Hong Kong, Istanbul, and the Algarve, Paper Moon arrives in the heart of Sardinia with a project that seeks not spectacular effect, but rather interaction with its surroundings. Its understated elegance meets the pink granite, the golden light of Sardinian evenings, the scent of myrtle, and the Mediterranean design of the Cervo Hotel, a legendary address for international hospitality in the heart of Porto Cervo’s Piazzetta.

Here, the restaurant becomes a new meeting place for those who enjoy taste as an experience: a lunch after a morning on the beach, dinner that extends into the evening, a table shared with friends, travellers, and seasonal regulars. The atmosphere is upscale yet never stuffy, where service is impeccable but never intrusive, and every detail seems designed to convey the simple pleasure of well-being.

The same philosophy is reflected in the cuisine. Unfussy, Italian with a contemporary twist – it begins with the quality of the ingredients and the clarity of flavours, while avoiding all clichés. The brand’s Milanese roots remain recognizable, but they embrace the Mediterranean and Porto Cervo’s international calling. On the menu, taste becomes measure, balance, memory: dishes designed to be elegant without losing immediacy.

With this new opening, Paper Moon adds a piece to the story of the northeastern coast’s fine dining scene: not just a restaurant, but a place to remember, a place where summer finds its most relaxed form, amidst beauty, Italian cuisine, and that rare sense of hospitality that transforms a dinner into a memory.
