Rubino

Not attractive from outside, old-fashioned sign saying Rubino Confectionery. While we were there, 3 sets of people came along, peered through window, decided against it.Service brilliant - the maitre d' was on his own and was a one-man dynamo! pork arancini, 2x gurbell fish (meagre, rock bream). lovely 1/2 bottle wine, tiramisu and creme brulee. €89.

Pasta Pizza Doc

A real 100% Italian Taste in Valletta. In our little take away you will find Fresh Pasta with only original Italian recipe and the only Pan Pizza Slice of Valletta. Music, smiles and very good food 100% italian.

Value for money pizza. It's a good choice for take away Italian food. The employees were very kind and helpful. Pizzas were very fresh, but the taste was just ok. Thanks for your review Jorge.

Reviewed By intrepid064

Staying in St Julian’s but took a trip into Valletta. Did a quick search on TA as fancied some quality Italian food. Some good choices and we went for Papannis and was not disappointed. Had a great meal with excellent service and now thinking about heading back there tomorrow. Suggest you book though as they were turning people away as it was fully booked (naturally as it was excellent!).

When reading a previous review of this restaurant I noted “the best carbonara in the world.” We made reservations prior to departing the US. It was an accurate description. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the vibe casual, the food good and the value noteworthy. Do make reservations. This is a small restaurant and we saw them turn people away.

Osteria.VE

Reviewed By Vic E

We visited with our friends twice in ten days and what a fantastic meal on both occasions. We have been going to Malta for over 20 years and this restaurant in Birgu is a must. They also have a great selection of good wine to choose from. The restaurant is quite small, so you will need to book.

This is an odd and delightful place. There is a Moroccan vibe. Reservations are a must. It’s cash only. It’s a small plate/shared plate model. Food is locally sourced. There were six of us and we crowded the small interior. Alissa provided excellent service and guided us through the menu making appreciated suggestions. Adding to the pleasure was the presence of a talented piano player. We were charmed, well fed and well cared for. We tried it all.....multiple bruschetta, (the Louis was a favorite) flat breads, which resemble fresh folded tortillas stuffed with cheese, meat and arugula and a giant sliced meat cured meat and cheese platter. Each order was well explained by Alissa, which prevented surprises and built anticipation. Local beer and wines were enjoyed with the food. This is a great place for relaxing and enjoying the non typical menu.

Panormus

Reviewed By SydneyTeviot

I found this place on Google looking for somewhere to eat prior to going to the Hypogeum. I used Messenger a couple of times to contact them to ensure they were open for Tuesday lunch (very quick responses) and even made a booking (completely unnecessary as it happened)!It’s a genuine family run business. The owner speaks only Italian but we managed very well. After being told that the sea bream was a fillet it turned out to be a whole fish so our lunch took quite a while to prepare. I had pasta with the most delicious sauce of rich passata, anchovy paste, garlic, raisins and pine nuts. Lots of sauce so the very kind owner provided me with a spotlessly clean tea towel to use as a bib! Much appreciated and very necessary.With water, a glass of house white and a local beer the bill came in at under €30 (we would have paid year much for the fish in St Julian’s!Recommended if you’re in the Paola area.

Reviewed By 904joek

Possibly the best pizza I have ever had. Pizza here is reasonably priced around 11-12 euros and there is a huge selection to chose from. The waiter who was very good recommended the carbonara which was phenomenal. We were a table of 6 and everyone enjoyed the food hugely regardless of what pizza was chosen. They offer gluten free bases for an additional charge.
