Farm-to-Table Dining in Sardinia: A Culinary Journey at Sacro Cactus
VIP Chef Giorgio Barone
At Sacro Cactus, every meal is an invitation to experience the authentic flavours of Sardinia, where tradition, creativity, and the bounty of the land come together. Our farm-to-table philosophy celebrates the island’s rich culinary heritage, using only the freshest local ingredients, seasonal herbs, and wild plants.
Meet Chef Giorgio Barone: The Chef of Champions
We are honoured to collaborate with Giorgio Barone — renowned as “The Chef of Champions.” With a Sardinian mother and Roman father, Giorgio grew up between the vibrant markets of Rome and the wild beauty of Sardinia, learning the secrets of Mediterranean cuisine from his grandmothers. His culinary journey began in Australia and soon led him back to Italy, where he managed and cooked at celebrated restaurants in Olbia.
Giorgio’s talent and passion have made him the personal chef for world-famous athletes, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin Prince Boateng, Gigi Buffon, and many other international football stars. Despite his VIP clientele, Giorgio remains deeply connected to the land and traditions of Sardinia, crafting simple, healthy, and unforgettable dishes that honor the island’s authentic flavours.
Alongside his team of excellent chefs, Giorgio brings a world-class dining experience to Sacro Cactus — whether you crave traditional Sardinian recipes, creative Mediterranean plates, or international cuisine, every dish is tailored to your tastes and made with the best local ingredients.
A True Farm-to-Table Experience
Our guests are invited to savour the essence of Sardinia through:
Seasonal Menus: Inspired by what’s fresh each day, featuring wild herbs, local vegetables, and game meats.
Garden-to-Table Produce: Much of our produce is harvested from our own gardens or trusted local farmers.
Creative Culinary Events: From private chef dinners to hands-on cooking classes, each meal is a celebration of Sardinian culture and Mediterranean wellbeing.
Dining as a Ritual
At Sacro Cactus, meals are more than nourishment, they are rituals of connection, storytelling, and joy. Whether you’re sharing a long table under the stars or enjoying a quiet breakfast on the veranda, every bite reflects the care and artistry of our kitchen.
