The Running Tuna

Tucked into the charming island town of Carloforte on Isola di San Pietro, Al Tonno di Corsa is the place to go if you want fresh bluefin tuna prepared the way locals have eaten it for centuries — the name literally means 'running tuna,' nodding to the ancient mattanza tuna fishing tradition of these waters. The menu leans hard into Sardinian and Mediterranean seafood, with Italian and southern Italian influences rounding things out. It's the kind of spot where the food does the talking, so come hungry and order whatever's fresh that day.
