The reshda with lamb was the highlight for me&mdash;tender, spiced just right. A glass of their house red paired surprisingly well with the mezze too. Solid spot for authentic Libyan food in town.

The coffee was solid and fairly priced for the area. Even the basement loo added to the old-school charm.

The bartender here makes a proper espresso martini &mdash; strong, not too sweet. The pub vibe is spot on, dark wood and that old-school British feel. Was a bit quiet when I went in, but honestly that just made it easier to enjoy the drink.

Been coming here on and off for a while now. The rabbit stew is still as good as the first time I tried it. Portion&#39;s decent and the price hasn&#39;t crept up like some places in Mdina. Just wish they&#39;d open a bit earlier sometimes.

Bruschetta and the veal dish were pretty good, pizza was decent too. Wine didn&#39;t break the bank, which is rare around here. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and nearby.

Came for the live music on a Friday and ended up staying till close. The singer really knew how to work the room. I had a glass of their house red with the pasta &mdash; decent pour, nothing fancy, but it did the job. Staff kept the drinks coming without hovering. A proper fun night out.

The rabbit ravioli was spot on &mdash; delicate pasta, rich filling, not heavy at all. That sauce reminded me of my grandmother&rsquo;s rabbit stew. Really nice to see a local classic done properly.

The Craft pizza here is legit. Prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella on top, crust was spot on. Dan knows what he&#39;s doing with the dough.

Stopped by after walking around Paceville. Got the pepper tuna&mdash;solid portion for the price. Seafood tasted fresh, no complaints. Fernanda was nice too.

The view of Valletta from our table was stunning. Starters were the highlight, really fresh and tasty. Service dragged a bit between courses though, and drinks were pricey. Still, a nice spot.

The filet came out exactly as I asked&mdash;proper medium rare. Honestly one of the better steaks I&#39;ve had in a while. Sides were decent too.

Decent spot for a drink. They&#39;ve got a good mix of local and European craft beers, plus a few interesting cocktails. Staff knew their stuff and helped me pick something I actually enjoyed. Place was a bit loud later in the evening, but that&#39;s on me for staying that long. Fine for a casual night out.

The staff really looked out for me when I said I can&#39;t do spicy&mdash;brought out milder stuff without me asking twice.

Came for dinner after seeing the reviews. Carbonara was properly rich and creamy, exactly what I wanted. The fish of the day was decent too, flaky and fresh. Sat under the trees which was a nice break from the noise. Only thing&mdash;service was a bit slow between courses, but the food made up for it.

The tagliatelle with truffle was the real standout&mdash;fresh pasta, actually homemade, not the usual dried stuff. Had the pistachio ice cream after, which was a nice way to finish. Jazz playing quietly in the background made it feel a bit more special than your average spot. Would come back just for that pasta again.

Had the grilled octopus last night. Properly charred outside, soft inside, not rubbery at all. Best one I&#39;ve had around here in a long while. Place was busy but we got a table quick. No complaints.

The San Francisco pizza was so good, my friend and I basically fought over the last slice 😅 Garden Lover was solid too, even for me and I&rsquo;m not even vegetarian. Nice to finally find a spot in Malta that doesn&rsquo;t just give you a sad margherita as the only meat-free option. We stayed way longer than planned just chatting, no one rushed us.

The vegan and sugar-free options caught my eye&mdash;nice to see that variety. Coffee was solid, croissant flaky but a bit small for the price.

Popped in for a quick bite yesterday. Pastizzi were still warm, flaky, just right. Place gets busy around noon but moves fast. Price is fair for what you get. Not fancy, but you don&#39;t need fancy for a decent snack. I&#39;ll be back when I&#39;m in the area.
