The pasta trio was the reason we came and honestly it didn&rsquo;t disappoint. The waitress was lovely, and the chef actually came out to talk through the specials which felt personal. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. Still, a solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

The calamarata was huge and really well done. Sitting by the water made it better. Waiters were lovely too. Probably my favourite meal this trip.

Came here for a special dinner and the food was solid. The chef&rsquo;s French technique really shows in the dishes. Nice touch having the chef stop by the table. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

Came here after a mate told me about it. The linguine with baby calamari was decent, pasta cooked right. Goat cheese starter was good too. Place is small, got that old-school Maltese feel. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Prices fair for what you get. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area.

The grilled octopus was spot on&mdash;tender, smoky, not rubbery at all. Portion could be bigger for the price, but the flavor made up for it.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly left surprised. Portions are huge for the price, which is always a win. I got the homemade pasta and it was solid&mdash;nothing fancy, just properly cooked and comforting. Staff let me take my time even though it was busy. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Eggs Your Way was decent but the halloumi could use more seasoning. Service was quick enough for a lunch stop. Fine if you need a fast bite.

We stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table near the pool. The fish carpaccio was fresh and light, and my pasta came out just right. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Only small thing&mdash;the seating felt a bit cramped near the water. Still, a comfortable spot to unwind for an hour or two.

Stopped here after Blue Grotto. Seafood was fresh, no complaints. Tried the beetroot burger from the specials&mdash;decent option if you&#39;re not into fish. View over the water is the real draw. Service was fine, nothing slow. Prices fair for what you get. Solid stop if you&#39;re in the area.

Loved the vibe here &mdash; old stone walls make it feel super cozy for catching up with friends. The owner even stopped by our table, which was a nice touch. Just wish the music was a bit louder 😄

Tried the ribs here while catching a game&mdash;solid choice, messy but worth it. Menu&rsquo;s huge, so I&rsquo;ll probably come back to work through more of it.

Food&#39;s good but pricey. Had the rabbit and it was tender, sauce was rich. Place felt a bit cold though, not much warmth inside. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Decent if you&#39;re nearby and don&#39;t mind paying a bit extra. Not somewhere I&#39;d go out of my way for.

Been coming here for a while now, and the pasta keeps me coming back. Had the tagliatelle again last night, still as good as the first time I tried it. Laura remembered our usual order, which was a nice touch. Place gets busy, but the food stays consistent. That&#39;s why I keep returning.

Been coming here for a while now. The beef stew is what keeps me coming back&mdash;always tender, always the same good quality. Tried the stuffed chicken once too, solid choice. Place gets a bit busy at lunch, but that&#39;s fine. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for Maltese food, no fuss.

Stopped here for lunch with a friend and it was exactly the kind of chill spot we needed. The seabass was fresh, but honestly the bread was the real highlight. They even brought us complimentary limoncello at the end, which felt like a sweet little bonus. Place is pretty quiet, so good for actually talking. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The pasta was fresh, really well cooked. My carbonara had that silky sauce, not the clumpy kind you get in tourist spots. Staff left us alone until we needed them, which I appreciate. Prices felt fair for what came out of the kitchen. Only thing, the place got a bit loud by 8pm, but that&#39;s on me for going at peak time.

The grilled calamari was spot on, fresh and tender. Salt-baked sea bass did not disappoint either. Marina view is nice but you pay for it.

Stopped by for lunch and went straight for the calamari and lobster mini burgers. Both were solid, but the peach stracciatella salad really caught me off guard&mdash;fresh and light. Portions are decent, no complaints there. Place was a bit busy, but food came out quick enough.

The salt-crusted catch of the day was spot on&mdash;moist, flaky, properly seasoned. Paired it with a nice Italian white from their list, worked well together. Finished with a lemoncello, which was a smooth way to end things. Place was quiet enough for a proper conversation. Service a bit slow between courses, but the food made up for it.

Stopped here for a late lunch after a walk along the harbour. The view of the boats is lovely, no argument there. I had the grilled fish and a glass of the local white &ndash; the wine was a good match, light and crisp. Food was decent, prices fair for the location. Service was a bit slow, but I wasn&#39;t in a rush. Fine for a casual bite.

The pizza here is proper&mdash;thin crust, decent toppings, and that charred edge I like. Paid about &euro;9 for mine, which felt fair for the size. Sat on the terrace, sea view was lovely, but inside the pizza area it&rsquo;s a bit plain, nothing special. Still, if you&rsquo;re after a quick bite by the water, it does the job.

The Maltese platter was solid, those white beans were the highlight. Portion felt right for the price, and the staff didn&#39;t rush us. Good spot to just sit with a drink.

Nice spot inside the Corinthia Palace. Fish platter was solid, ossobuco too. Service kept things moving, which I appreciate on a lunch break. Renovation makes it feel fresh but still chill.

Fish of the day was solid. Pistachio pasta too. Courtyard&#39;s a nice quiet spot away from the main streets. Service friendly enough.

The ribeye looked great in the display case but honestly didn&#39;t have as much flavour as I expected for the price. Place is beautifully decorated though, nice vibe for a night out.

Came here for a work dinner. The beef carpaccio was the standout &mdash; well seasoned, fresh. Mixed grill was decent too, though the portions are on the smaller side. Service was quick and attentive, which I appreciated. Location is convenient, easy to find. Not cheap, but fair for the quality. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

The shellfish soup was decent, and the octopus ceviche stood out&mdash;fresh and well-balanced. Sitting right by the water made it pleasant, though the location is a bit out of the way. Fine for a relaxed meal if you&rsquo;re already in the area.
