Paninoteca e Birreria da Cigheddu

Since 1980, in Nuoro, Cigheddu has meant just one thing: PANINO.

Cigheddu is one of the oldest paninotecas still operating in Nuoro. Since 1980, Cigheddu’s recipes have been passed down to the present day, accompanying entire generations of people from Nuoro.

Then the trends arrived: gourmet sauces, burgers imitating the American's, the big chains.

The simplicity of a well-made panino was almost being forgotten.

Cigheddu stands strong against all of this, but never stops evolving, growing with one clear goal: to carry on the tradition, alongside new panini, always guided by the essential principle of using the raw ingredients from our land, Sardinia.

Since 1980, the same philosophy, the same love for our land, the same hunger we had 46 years ago.

At Cigheddu, you won’t find burgers imitating America, gourmet panini, exotic sauces, endless menus or passing trends.

You’ll find the panini that have accompanied Nuoro for over 40 years: panini that speak Sardinian, and tell the story of our land through the ingredients of our territory.

You’ll find new techniques, but with the same philosophy of 1980.


OUR SMASHBURGER: THE LATEST RECIPE IN A STORY THAT HAS LASTED FOR OVER 40 YEARS

Our smashburger is the latest addition to Cigheddu’s recipe book: an American technique, but with Sardinia taking center stage.

Because our ingredients deserve to be celebrated, not hidden behind an attempt to imitate the Americans.

The ingredients are simple, and unmistakably Sardinian, just as Cigheddu has always taught us:

Beef:

Sardinian beef from [], selected to give our smash all its character. Pure Sardinian flavour, bite after bite.

Casizzolu cheese:

A cheese with a distinctly Sardinian personality, produced in Orotelli by Farm Brau. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture meets the heat of the smash in a pairing made to be bitten into.

Crispy pork jowl:

From Oliena, all the flavour of pork jowl, made irresistible by its satisfying crunch. The savoury touch that gives every bite its character.

Homemade pecorino mayonnaise:

Our homemade mayonnaise meets the distinctive character of Pecorino cheese from Orgosolo. Creamy, flavourful and made to bring every ingredient together.

Caramelised onion:

Grown in Sardinia and slowly cooked to bring out its natural sweetness.

Sardinian bread:

Made right here in Nuoro, because bread, too, has its place in our story. The perfect base to bring together all the flavour of Cigheddu.

This is Cigheddu’s smashburger: first and foremost, Sardinian.
