Nice and friendly service, good Italian food, home made piadina really tasty.
The prices are good for the place and the average of Malta. The portions are small though. The only disappointment has been the Parmesan we asked for my child’s pasta and we got charged without knowing it.
Of course we told them to advise people next time.

This charming restaurant tucked away on the streets of Valletta made for a lovely dining experience. We tried the aglio olio, nachos, and a few drinks. The aglio olio was flavorful, though slightly on the saltier side for our taste. The nachos were generously topped with avocado and salsa, making them quite satisfying. Overall, it was a pleasant meal and a good experience.

Great food and portion size was spot on. Attentive staff but too attentive. Very much enjoyed the pasta.

To begin, we came on what we hoped was a lovely evening, instead we were deeply disappointed. Three of our group ordered the pasta which came far too thick for a tagliatelle and it was tasteless. Microwaveable food would’ve been more enticing. The mushroom sauce was particularly bland, and then there was NO salt and pepper on the table to make up for this. The spaghetti aglio had enough garlic to ward off a vampire, definitely not one for a first date if anyone was considering. Moreover, the nachos were stone cold with stale chips, squirty cheese, guacamole that had definitely never come in contact with an avocado and a random ‘garnish’ of raw onion on top. It was practically inedible for €12. On the whole, awful experience, WILL NOT BE RETURNING.

Terrible food experience!
I’ve never tried anything worse.
•	Pasta with octopus was awful: the octopus tasted sour and bitter, clearly not fresh, and I almost threw up. The pasta itself was overcooked and broken apart.
•	Pasta with mushrooms was drowning in oil and had a terrible smell.
•	Pasta carbonara was tasteless, with a sauce that seemed like it came from powder – absolutely not real carbonara.

The only Italian thing there seems to be the names of the dishes. And to make it worse, there was no toilet available.

The only positive part was the waiters – they understood our complaints, were friendly, and offered to change the dish. We switched to a Caesar salad, which was of course better than the pasta (hard to mess up a salad), but still far from delicious. Anyway, thanks to the waiter for trying.

I strongly do not recommend this place if you don’t want to ruin your Maltese food experience.

I hope the manager or owner reads this and considers changing the chef and improving the kitchen, because the place itself looks nice and the music wasn’t bad.
