Why go

Counter-service character
The clearest service detail is counter service. That makes Madriga easiest to frame as a casual Cagliari stop rather than a venue whose pacing, seating, or broader service details are fully documented here.
If you are comparing casual stops in Cagliari, Ditrizio Pasticceria is another nearby option to consider. For another point of comparison in Cagliari, PBread Natural Bakery is also worth cross-shopping.
