Find out what Sicilian restaurants to try in Senglea. Senglea (Maltese: L-Isla [ˈlɪslɐ]), also known by its title Città Invicta (or Civitas Invicta), is a fortified city in the South Eastern Region of Malta. It is one of the Three Cities in the Grand Harbour area, the other two being Cospicua and Vittoriosa, and has a population of slightly below three thousand people.

My wife and I had just arrived in Malta after a long day of travel from NYC. We were looking for a good meal near our hotel and were pleased with the high ratings of this nearby eatery. Had it not been for the high ratings, we would have never eaten here - tiny place, no other dinners, horrible atmosphere. Reassured by the other ratings we dove in - mistake!! The owner chef and his wife (the only server) were friendly enough. The food was ordinary to poor. I had the seafood pasta. A generous mountain of pasta with no appreciable sauce and sparse amount of seafood. The mussels were tiny and did not taste right. My wife had the mushroom ravioli - the sauce was plentiful but the excess salt spoiled the taste. We shared a brochetta while waiting for our mains - tasty enough but served on a piece of plain bread not the customary baguette. As if the ambiance was not bad enough, there was a delivery of lobster right in the middle of our dinner. The box was plopped down right next as the chef move the lobster into the salt water tank in the front of the restaurant. Somewhat surprised about the disparity between the rating and our dining experience I went back to carefully look at the reviews. Many of the 5 star rating were from individuals with only 1 or 2 reviews and/or residents of Malta. Evidently the chef has lots of friends on Malta that over inflated the ratings. This is one case where you trust your instincts NOT Tripadviser.Gentilissimo cliente....probabilmente era Molto stanco del viaggio a tal punto di non aver notato Che quelli Che lei chiama server non erano 2 ma bensi 4 ma comunque a prescindere dalla sua insoddisfazione personale per il nostro team e per la location tengo a precisare Che dopo 40anni di experience come chef la bruschetta non si fa certamente con la baguette,noi usiamo del pane Saraceno Che esalta il nostro olio extra vergine , ciliegino pachino e mozzarella di BUFALA molto gradito dai nostri clientiPultroppo Devo contraddirla anche sulla linguina allo scoglio....noi non usiamo salsa di pomodoro Che copre i sapori dei frutti di mare ma usiamo ciliegino pachino fresco Inoltre mi spiace per la sua affermaziione nell'offendere tutti I nostri recensori insinuando Che sono di basso livello e nostri amiciLa invito a rileggere le recensioni quando sara' piu riposato e non avra' allucinazioni anche con le lobsters

When reading a previous review of this restaurant I noted âthe best carbonara in the world.â 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.

The place is great, if canât find places outside definitely try inside cause interior is very cosy and gives you a great vibe! Try the special platter (can be done for as many people you are although the price is for 2) Staff and food are executed without being too formal or pretentious. Tuna fish stake is great main course but any pasta will excite the pallet, too! Do not leave (no matter how full) without trying the canoli!

By now I think I went in place 3 times and took always the same type of pasta( tagliolini black ink with calamari and octopus) and on all the 3 occasions the pasta was looking and tasting different..first time was really good with calamari and octopus in good quantity, defrosted but still cooked and tasting great. Second time no octopus just calamari and overall dry. Last time, a few days ago and no traces of octopus again ( maybe they are not adding it anyloner..) and overcooked calamari resulting in a bit of a "rubber" texture.Will be back maybe and try something else.. for 16 eur I may be lucky ;-)

This is probably the best Italian meal my husband and I have had for a while. We had a seafood risotto and a seafood pasta and both were excellent. They gave us a complimentary starter and bread with the meal and the whole experience was excellent. And the prices were very reasonable which is a bonus!
