The grilled octopus was spot on, really fresh. Lobster linguine was decent too. Place is small and gets busy, but the food makes up for it.

Risette offers an exceptional dining experience with beautifully presented dishes that burst with flavor. The attentive and professional service truly enhances the overall atmosphere, making it a memorable visit.

Eggs and ham were done right, quick and hot. Price is fair for the portion. House white&rsquo;s a bit sharp, but that&rsquo;s my taste. Good spot for a fast bite.

Been here a few times now. The pizza&#39;s got that proper crispy base and they don&#39;t skimp on toppings. Paid about &euro;12 for a decent sized one. Not the cheapest in town but you can taste the difference. Honestly, it&#39;s probably the best slice on the island for that money.

Stopped here while wandering through the Citadel. Had the traditional platter &ndash; the local cheeses were fresh, capers added that nice tang. Sun-dried tomatoes tasted like they were actually dried in the sun, not just marinated. The Maltese bread was dense and chewy, perfect for scooping everything up. Simple food, honest ingredients. Wish I&#39;d had more time to sit and enjoy it slowly.

Great spot right on the cliff, sea views are hard to beat. Pizza was decent but the dough came out a bit too crispy for my liking.

The homemade pasta is a must-try. I had the carbonara and it was spot on. Wish the portion was a bit bigger though.

Loved the tagliatelle here &mdash; pasta was fresh and the seasonal sauce actually tasted like it came from the garden. Terrace view of the church is a nice bonus. Service was a bit slow but worth it.

Pizza was decent, but the sushi was the real surprise. Got a mixed platter for the table. Music got way too loud later on, could barely hear myself think. Fine if you want a party vibe, not for a proper catch-up.

Cozy spot inside, feels like a different world from the street noise. Had a good meal, service was friendly enough. Parking&#39;s a pain though, took me ages to find a spot.

The pistachio pasta with guanciale was spot on &mdash; creamy but not heavy, and the meat added just enough saltiness. I liked that there were proper veggie options too, not just the usual one sad salad. Place was a bit warm inside though, could&rsquo;ve done with more air. Still, I&rsquo;d go back for that pasta.

Although the food is simple, the location in the Upper Barrakka Gardens provides fantastic views that enhance the experience.

Decent spot for a relaxed evening. The decor is a bit all over the place but in a good way&mdash;lots of character. I had the vegan dessert and it was pretty good, not too sweet. Staff were friendly without hovering. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Strawberry smoothie was spot on, really refreshing after a swim. Service stayed friendly even when it got busy. Been coming here for a while, still does the job.

Stopped here for lunch after walking around the harbor. The octopus was the standout&mdash;grilled just right, tender, not rubbery at all. View of the water from the table was a nice bonus. Service was friendly, nothing over the top. Prices felt fair for what you get. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Stumbled onto this place down a side street. Got the steak and honestly it was the best I&#39;ve had in Malta so far. Price was fair too, not one of those tourist trap spots. Just wish I&#39;d found it earlier in my trip.

Lovely little spot by Spinola Bay. The a&ccedil;ai bowl was fresh and the matcha latte with coconut milk hit the spot. Prices fair too. Would sit outside again for the view.

Decent spot for a quick coffee. View is nice, that&#39;s mainly why I stopped. Coffee itself was fine, nothing special but did the job. Tables were a bit sticky though, could use a wipe down. Still, okay for a short break if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a quick bite and honestly didn&rsquo;t expect much. The presentation was way better than I thought, and the host actually seemed to care. Got my food fast too, which was nice. Only thing is the place got a bit loud later on. Still, solid spot if you&rsquo;re nearby.

The owner&rsquo;s son chatted with us like we were regulars. Food had that homecooked feel, you could tell someone actually cared. 👍

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Got the kangaroo special. Cooked just right, fell apart with the fork. Flavor was solid. Drinks were cheap too, which was a nice surprise. Service was quick, no waiting around. Good spot if you need something fast and decent.

The terrace seating is really comfortable, not too cramped. I sat outside for lunch and the chairs were actually cushioned, which made it easy to stay for a while. Service was friendly without hovering. Food came out at a good pace. Just a decent spot to relax and eat without any fuss.

The pistachio gelato was more icy than creamy, kinda disappointing for &euro;4. Location&#39;s super handy if you&#39;re already in the area though.

The octopus was properly tender, not chewy at all. I had the oysters too and they were really fresh. Portions are decent for the price. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, the chairs got hard after a while. Still, a solid meal if you&#39;re in the area.

The pork chops were really good and the portions are solid for what you pay. Just a heads up &mdash; they weren&rsquo;t open right at 6 pm, so maybe call ahead before going.

Been coming here for a while now, and it&#39;s still my go-to when I want a drink outside. The staff remembered me and grabbed a sunny table without me even asking. Food&#39;s decent, drinks are cold. Gets packed on weekends so you might wait a bit, but that&#39;s fine by me.

Solid spot right by the bus station. Portions are generous and prices fair. Staff sorted out a small mix-up without any fuss.

The grilled octopus was really good&mdash;tender, not rubbery at all. I sat outside and the view over Xlendi bay made it feel like more of a treat than just dinner. Service was friendly but a bit slow once it got busy. Still, I left full and happy. Would come back for the calamari alone.

Creative cocktails, and the bartender actually knew what he was doing. House-made ingredients made a difference. Good spot to grab a drink before heading out.
