The seafood spaghetti had a real garlic punch, but the fresh fish still came through. Tiramisu was huge and rich. Pricey, though.

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 sea view really does most of the work here 🌊 Sashimi was fresh and lovely, but the sushi itself fell a bit flat. Service dragged even though it wasn&rsquo;t busy.

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.

Stopped by for a quick weekday lunch and the grilled chicken salad really stood out. Greens were crisp, not wilted, and the dressing was light. Portion felt decent for the price. Service was polite, no fuss. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The grilled sea bass was really fresh, flaky and light. I appreciate that they didn&#39;t drown it in sauce. Just a bit of lemon and olive oil. The wait was a little long but the quality made up for it. I&#39;d come back for the fish alone.

Best kebab I&rsquo;ve had in a while. They even let us try some traditional tea and coffee on the house. Staff were friendly too.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a seat upstairs. The place has that warm, lived-in feel, not too polished. I ordered the grilled chicken salad and was happy the greens were actually fresh, not the sad wilted stuff you sometimes get. Dressing was light, too. Service took a bit, but the staff were nice about it. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

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.

The seafood platter during happy hour is the move. Fish came out properly cooked, not dry, and that sauce they serve with it is the real highlight. Price felt right for what you get. Service was fine, but honestly I was too busy eating to care much about that.

The cannoli were actually fresh&mdash;shell still crunchy when I bit in. That&rsquo;s rare around here, most places fill them way ahead. Grabbed one with the pistachio filling, it wasn&rsquo;t overly sweet either. Quick stop, no fuss, just a solid pastry. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind going back for another one before I leave.

The Jack Daniel&#39;s Pie really stood out. Rich without being too sweet, and you can actually taste the whiskey in there. Grabbed a slice after wandering around the area, sat outside for a bit. Quiet spot, no rush. Wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price though. Still, that pie was something else.

Food&rsquo;s still good and portions are solid for what you pay. Been coming here a while now, staff actually remember you which is kinda nice for a quick catch-up with friends.

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.

Rabbit was the best thing we ordered. Big portion too. Place looks nice, staff friendly enough. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

Burger was solid. Fries though? Small portion for the price. Kinda left me wanting more. Good patty, decent bun, but the whole thing felt a bit light for what you pay. If you&#39;re really hungry, get a side or something.

The pastizzi here are the real deal. Crust flaked apart the second I bit in, proper buttery layers. Ricotta filling was still hot, well seasoned. A local swore these were the best in Malta and honestly I can&#39;t argue with that. Just wish they had more than one type left when I got there.

Sat outside by the water with a beer and coke. They brought complimentary watermelon when we asked&mdash;nice touch. Friendly enough, decent spot to rest.
