December 31st was a truly special evening at Aquarium Sardinia. A New Year’s Eve celebration filled with smiles, great food, fine wine and music, the perfect way to say goodbye to the past year and welcome the new one.

The response was outstanding: over 70 guests, a sold-out evening that once again confirmed the desire to experience Torre delle Stelle even during the winter season. The night began with a welcome prosecco, setting a relaxed and convivial tone before a carefully crafted gastronomic journey.

The New Year’s Eve tasting menu was designed as a balanced narrative, combining technique, local identity and seasonality.

The evening opened with amberjack carpaccio and beetroot, paired with a local ceviche, a sheep’s milk ricotta granita and salted sanded hazelnuts, followed by slow-cooked and roasted octopus served with lentil cream, octopus mayonnaise and puntarelle salad with sprouts.

The first course, an Acquerello risotto, creamed with smoked sour butter, topped with prawn tartare and caper powder, offered elegance and depth.
The main course featured crispy boiled ribeye, scented with Mediterranean herbs, accompanied by caramelized eggplant, Gavoi potato purée and a reduced broth.

The palate was refreshed with a vodka, prosecco and red berry sorbet, before ending on a festive note with pandoro tiramisù and coffee foam, a dessert that blended tradition and creativity.

Music played a key role throughout the evening, with DJ Massimo Solla accompanying dinner and then turning up the energy after midnight, keeping guests dancing late into the night.

This New Year’s Eve was a meaningful moment not only for Aquarium Sardinia, but also for Torre delle Stelle. A further step in our commitment to being present year-round, creating community and shared experiences even during the winter months.

Thank you to everyone who chose to welcome the new year with us.

See you in 2026, ready to create many more memories together.
