The cocktails here actually pack a punch&mdash;stronger than what I&rsquo;ve had at nearby bars, and the prices are fair for the pour. I stopped by on a quiet evening and tried the chicken dippers on a whim. They were way better than expected, crispy and juicy. Staff were friendly too. Just wish the place had more seating, but I&rsquo;d still come back.

The Boscaiola was a solid pick&mdash;dough light and airy, you can tell they take their time with it. Diavola had a nice kick too. Terrace view over the sea doesn&rsquo;t hurt, though I&rsquo;d&rsquo;ve liked a better wine list to go with the pies. A glass of something local would&rsquo;ve sealed it.

Lovely spot to sit outside and watch the square. Drinks were a bit pricey for what you get, but the view of the basilica makes up for it. Ended up staying way longer than I meant to.

The vegan charcuterie board caught my eye right away&mdash;so nice to see something like that on a separate menu. Staff knew their wines too, which made pairing easy. Just wish the seating area near the window wasn&#39;t quite so tight, but I&#39;d still come back for that board again.

The surf and turf was done just right&mdash;cooked exactly how I asked. Service was attentive without hovering, which I appreciated. Place is a bit out of the way, but the food made the drive worth it. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Service was spot on - Rachel and Dunja actually cared if we enjoyed the meal. Prices fair for what you get. Pasta was solid, nothing fancy but done right. Place was busy but we never felt rushed. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a proper meal without the tourist markup.

The strawberry mint lemonade hit the spot today. Really refreshing, perfect for the heat. Didn&#39;t try the specials but the menu looked decent.

Been coming here for a while now, food&#39;s always solid. That peanut satay sauce is the reason I keep going back. Just wish they&#39;d swap the noodles for gluten-free.

Stopped by for a quick lunch near the main square&mdash;staff actually took time to walk us through the menu, which I appreciated. Place felt relaxed, no rush. Had the rabbit stew, pretty solid. Nothing mind-blowing, but for the location and service, it does the job. Maybe a bit touristy, but I&rsquo;d come back.

The mushroom ravioli was decent, creamy and filling. But honestly, the service was the thing I noticed most. Only one waiter for the whole room, so we waited a while between courses. I didn&#39;t mind too much since we weren&#39;t in a hurry, but if you&#39;re short on time, maybe skip it. The seating was comfortable though, which I always appreciate.

Buffet had a good spread and everything tasted fresh. Staff actually took time to explain a few dishes, which was a nice touch. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Rumi, Ploy and Ray took care of us. Quick, friendly, no hovering. Got in and out in under 30 minutes. Food was decent, nothing fancy. That service though, made the whole thing easy.

The veggie fried rice and spring rolls were proper good&mdash;fresh, not greasy, and the soup had real flavour. I liked that they didn&#39;t hold back on the veg. Only thing is the seating felt a bit cramped, but for a quick lunch it did the job. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The homemade cakes are the real deal&mdash;moist and full of flavor, plus the price was fair. Coffee was brewed well too.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Pierogi were solid, dough was light and the filling had good flavor. Borscht hit the spot too. Place is small and cozy, got my food fast which I appreciated. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Popped in just before closing and still got the last ftira&mdash;so good. The owner was lovely, even gave me a few tips for exploring Gozo. I sat by the window, no rush at all. Nice little spot if you&#39;re wandering around. Just wish I&#39;d had more time to try the pastizzi.

We grabbed a table at the food court and honestly, the linguine with huanca&iacute;na sauce was the star. Creamy, a little spicy, really well done. Portions are massive though&mdash;one main would easily feed two. Wine pairing surprised me too, felt like a proper sit-down spot. Service was friendly, kept checking in. Just a heads up, it gets busy around lunch, so grab a seat first.

The peacock motifs and the artwork on the walls really caught my eye. Made the whole place feel a bit more special than your average curry house. We went for a bottle of something off their wine list, a decent Pinot Grigio, which worked well with the lamb rogan josh. Food was solid, though the naan came out a touch late. Still, a good spot for a relaxed evening.

Lovely spot for a relaxed lunch. The hummus toast was really good, and the homemade lemonade hit the spot. Service was friendly and easygoing. Outdoor seating is nice, though the music can get a bit loud.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the regular size, price is a bit steep for what you get honestly. But the tea itself was decent, no complaints there. Service was fast, in and out in under 20 minutes. Fine if you need a quick bite and don&#39;t mind paying a little extra.

The vegan apple buckwheat crepe was alright, kinda tasted like pie filling straight from a can. Place was packed, nothing fancy. Could&#39;ve used some fresh fruit on top.

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. Place has a nice colorful interior, kinda artsy but not trying too hard. Staff was friendly, made me feel comfortable even though I was solo. Had the pasta, decent portion for the price. Nothing mind-blowing but solid. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Lovely dinner with my mum &mdash; the lamb was super tender, exactly what I needed. Date pudding for dessert was a nice finish too.

We came for a birthday dinner and Hamal looked after us well. Food arrived fast, music was fun, dancers were a nice touch. Really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted.

The sushi and bao buns were really good, no complaints there. Portions are a bit small for what you pay, but I guess that&#39;s expected. The space itself has this modern, lively energy that I liked. Lighting was nice too, not too harsh. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area and craving some decent sushi.

Solid pasta. Got the tagliatelle, came out hot and quick. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything. Place was busy but we got seated fine. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.
