10. Il ristorantino italiano da michelangelo

Reviewed By ozzbod
Great staff, very friendly, happy and helpful - 10 out of 10. Thatâs where it ends. Pasta with sword fish not too bad, quite flavoursome but only average , definitely not more than a 3 star. Grilled fish platter, well for 30 euros I was expecting something quite special. Tuna slightly over cooked, sword fish definitely over cooked, the 2 large prawns and sea bream were moist and quite tasty, salmon boring. I feel bad because the staff were so lovely but Noooo, I wonât be back and would not recommend, donât believe everything you read on trip advisor

Staying in St Julianâs 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!).

We were so thankful to go to Salvino's as part of our trip. We ate in a few different places, but none were as good as Salvino's, by far. The keyword here is fresh. They strive to cook only with fresh ingredients and this you can absolutely taste on their meals. For example, even the fried calamari was one of the best we ever had in our lives, which is a dish you can't tweak in too many ways.For the main course, we had the daily special, which was also absolutely delicious.When looking at the service, it was very friendly and easygoing. We really appreciated the more laid-back style, while being fully focused on covering all of our needs.The decoration is the only element which is a bit more simple/classic (nothing extra), but meh, with everything else you get, this is absolutely no problem. Especially since the restaurant is in a prime location already.So don't be one of the many people that got sent away while trying to get a table - reserve a place, come and enjoy :)

BEATI PAOLI Restaurant, located at 240, St Paul's Str, Valletta. If it is a lunch or a dinner, BEATI PAOLI is the ultimate restaurant to eat in.

Food, service were outstanding. Small, intimate and charming atmosphere. Chef personally visits each table to make certain food is prepared consistent with dietary restrictions and requests. Service is prompt. Portions are appropriate. Fish is clearly fresh daily. We wanted salads to start and chef accommodated.Overall experience was excellent. This restaurant was head and shoulders above the other seven we tried on our vacation in Malta. It deserves to be Number One. We tried to return but it was sold out the final four nights we were in Malta.

A sizeable menu with many options usually suggest the basics are somehow forgotten...but not here. The pizzas were very good actually and we didnât leave a scrap. The beer menu is smaller but there are some interesting choices on it. Overall, tasty and filling....and we booked to go back 2 days later (recommended as they are rightfully popular and routinely turn people away).

Really good pasta with a price making it great value for money.You select the sauce and type of pasta (e.g. arrabiata & tagliatelle) - your pasta is prepared for you in a open kitchen.Good, fresh ingredients leading to good quality food. Recommended for pasta in Malta.

Always try to sample an many different restaurants as possible on any trip, but we ate here twice on consecutive nights as the food was so good. Their burgers and pizzas are exceptional and they understand what a side salad is! Very good value too.

What a lovely little restaurant. We came here after arriving late into Sliema. The cafe is relatively small with beer, wine and champagne bottles decorating the walls. The waitress could not have been more helpful and helped us select a beautiful Sicilian wine. We had a couple of arancini to start, which were fantastic - I'm no massive fan, but these were certainly the nicest I've ever had. My wife and I then both had the tortelini which was exceptional - my wife thought it was the best pasta she has ever had. Well worth searching out this little gem.

We visited this place on a Wednesday evening and the atmoshpere was very relaxing. As antipasto we took the mixed salumi and cheese (had some porchetta with calabrese cheese to die for). As mains my husband took the pasta with gorgonzola and i with the sausage! Omg it was excellent! Since i was full i took the unfinished pasta with me and two days after it was even better! Will sure visit again! The owner / chef is also a very nice helpful person. Well done :)
