Dining out on the Costa Smeralda during high season is serious business. Although the talented concierges at Hotel Cala di Volpe are known for being able to pull strings for their guests, it’s best to make reservations for the area’s top restaurants, like Gianni Pedrinelli, at least several days, if not a week, in advance.
