As 2025 comes to an end, we feel the need to pause and look back, reflecting on everything that made this year special for Aquarium Sardinia. A year shaped by shared evenings, events, encounters, smiles, daily commitment and the people who passed through our spaces, each leaving something behind.

To capture all of this, we created a short recap video, a visual story that brings together the most meaningful moments of the year: dinners, celebrations, cultural events, summer nights, winter gatherings, faces and stories that gave life to Aquarium.

This video is first and foremost a thank you. A thank you to everyone who chose Aquarium for a dinner, a celebration, a special occasion or simply for a moment to enjoy good food and good company. It is our way of thanking those who trusted us and made Aquarium part of their own experiences.

Above all, this recap is dedicated to the people who make everything possible every single day. Our collaborators, the team, the kitchen, the service staff and everyone working behind the scenes with passion and care. Aquarium is, above all, made of people, and it is thanks to them that every experience comes to life.

With this final newsletter of the year, we would also like to remind you that we look forward to welcoming you for New Year’s Eve and throughout the first days of January, to begin the new year together in the spirit that defines us: hospitality, conviviality and attention to detail.

2025 leaves us with many memories and the desire to continue building new experiences together.
Thank you for being part of it.

On Saturday, December 13th, Aquarium Sardinia once again hosted Art & Wine with Paola Falconi, a format that became a familiar and much-loved event throughout the summer of 2025 and continues to thrive during the winter season.

The essence of the experience remained unchanged: a guided painting class led by Paola Falconi, paired with glasses of wine and an aperitif offered by the house. An experience designed to bring together creativity, learning and conviviality in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

What changed this time was the atmosphere. After the open-air summer editions, Art & Wine moved indoors, taking place in Aquarium’s beautifully decorated dining room, set up for the festive season. The lit fireplace, soft lighting and Christmas decorations created a warm and intimate mood, adding an extra layer of magic to the evening.

As always, the event was a great success. Participants were guided step by step by Paola Falconi, exploring painting techniques while benefiting from her artistic sensitivity, professionalism and experience. At the end of the masterclass, everyone left with their own finished artwork and the memory of a truly special experience.

Art & Wine is much more than a painting class. It is a moment of pause, almost meditative, where time slows down and guests can focus on the creative process, the pleasure of being together and the dialogue between art, wine and place.

Once again, this event proved that Aquarium Sardinia and Torre delle Stelle are alive all year round, not only during the summer months. A restaurant and a community that continue to come together even in winter, enriching the festive season with a calendar full of events, flavors and culture.

On Saturday, December 6th, Aquarium Sardinia welcomed the festive season with the second Christmas edition of its artisanal cookie masterclass, in collaboration with Il Giardino Experience and led by pastry and pasta expert Daniela Fenu.
The event began at 3:00 PM with a welcome drink and quickly transformed into a joyful and delicious experience. Surrounded by the scents of butter, lemon zest, cinnamon and chocolate, participants got their hands dirty, in the best possible way. With Daniela’s expert guidance, they learned how to prepare handmade Christmas cookies, working with dough, experimenting with flavors, and shaping treats with care and creativity.

The most fun part? The shaping session, where everyone brought their imagination to life with stars, Christmas trees, snowflakes, hearts, and more. After baking, the room filled with an irresistible aroma and the highlight finally arrived: the tasting. A moment of shared joy, made even warmer by the friendly and festive atmosphere.

Now in its second edition, this initiative is more than just a baking class. It’s a chance to come together, chat, laugh, and rediscover the joy of creating something by hand. It brought the Torre delle Stelle community together, even in the winter, strengthening the connection between people, tradition and local culture.

At Aquarium, we truly believe that magic isn’t seasonal. Torre delle Stelle is not just a summer destination, it’s a place full of life, connections and experiences that deserve to be celebrated year-round. That’s why we’re committed to keeping the spirit of Aquarium alive all year, with small moments like this that warm the heart.

On November 30th, Aquarium Sardinia hosted a special evening that has now become a cherished end-of-year tradition: the aperitif that kicks off the holiday season.
Originally conceived as a moment to welcome the Christmas spirit, the event turned into something much more, a time for meeting, sharing, connection and community. The house offered guests a glass of sparkling wine and a selection of finger food prepared by our kitchen. A warm welcome that blended refined flavors with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The turnout was impressive. Alongside long-time residents of Torre delle Stelle, we were joined by visitors from across Southern Sardinia and even tourists who chose to experience the island during the cooler months. The crowd was diverse and enriched by international guests and professionals from established business communities in Cagliari, making the evening an informal networking opportunity as well.

With the warmth of the fireplace and festive decorations setting the tone, Aquarium once again proved itself to be a true hub for the local community. It was wonderful to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and exchange ideas and hopes for the future of Torre delle Stelle, imagining how to keep it vibrant even beyond the summer season.

This simple yet meaningful event holds great value. It reminds us that Aquarium and Torre delle Stelle are not just summer destinations, but living places all year round. Places that are inhabited, cared for and loved, and that deserve to be experienced in every season.

And in this atmosphere filled with human warmth and holiday spirit, we once again rediscovered the true meaning of community.
