Stopped by for a quick bite and grabbed a pizza. It was decent, nothing crazy, but the price felt fair for what you got. Place was busy, so service was a bit slow, but the staff stayed friendly. I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in Mosta again, mainly because it didn&rsquo;t break the bank.

The slow-cooked rabbit was really tender, fell right off the bone. I mostly came for something lighter but ended up sharing a pizza too, it was decent. Service was a bit all over the place, they seemed new. Still, the marina view is lovely, made sitting there easy. Would go back for the rabbit, maybe on a quieter evening.

The salmon was really good, mussels in white wine sauce were a solid start. Service lagged a bit but the food made up for it.

The caponata di pesce spada was a nice surprise - those green olives really made it. Paccheri al nero di seppia had a good balance too. Quiet spot for a weekday lunch, though service was a bit slow.

Been coming here for a while now, and the view of the church from the terrace still gets me. Menu&#39;s got plenty of options, tried a few things over time, all solid. Prices are fair for what you get. Hosts remember you, which is nice. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you&#39;re paying for the setting.

Came for the Spinola Bay view, ended up staying for the food. Balcony seats are lovely around sunset, that golden light over the water. The porterhouse for two was plenty, cooked just right. Slightly pricey but the setting makes up for it. Would come back for a special evening.

The cappuccino was solid&mdash;right temperature, good foam. Quiet enough to get some work done. That&rsquo;s really all I needed.

Great spot right by the sea. Pasta was really good, fresh and tasty. Service friendly enough. Took a while to get the food since it was packed, but no complaints after eating.

Been coming here for a while now, and the prawn risotto is still the reason I keep going back. Had it again last week, creamy, well seasoned, no complaints. The pistachio cheesecake was good too, not too sweet. Place is basic, nothing fancy, but honestly that&rsquo;s fine when the food stays this consistent.

English breakfast was solid, croissants decent. Staff friendly, not hovering. Price felt right for what you get. Nothing fancy but does the job.

The grilled octopus here was properly tender, not rubbery at all. I&rsquo;m picky about seafood freshness and this didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Portions are generous for the price, which I appreciate. Sat by the window watching the boats while eating&mdash;simple and nice. Only wish they had a few more vegetable sides, but the calamari made up for it.

Loved the waterfront vibe here&mdash;sat outside and it felt properly local. Food was solid, portions generous for the price.

The cappuccino was spot on and the smoked salmon bagel hit the spot. Plenty of power sockets around, which is handy if you need to get some work done. Solid little spot for a coffee break.

Stopped by this little place in the craft village for a quick bite. Got the salmon ciabatta and a ftira &mdash; both were solid, bread was fresh. Staff were friendly enough, smiled when we walked in. Place is small but fine for a short stop. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.

Fresh seafood right by the harbor &mdash; the tuna fillet was a solid, generous portion. Staff knew their stuff when I asked for suggestions. View didn&#39;t hurt either.

Stopped by for a quick dinner. The tiramisu was solid&mdash;clearly homemade, not from a box. Wine list covers local and Italian well enough. Prices fair for what you get. Service was a bit slow midweek, but nothing painful. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t want to overthink it.

Took the kids here for a birthday. Food was decent and the waterslide kept them busy. Staff did their job, no complaints. Price was fair for what you get.

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.

Came here with a couple of friends last week and honestly the fish soup was the highlight&mdash;so rich and flavourful. The catch of the day was done really well too, simple but tasty. It&rsquo;s a bit fancier than the other places along the water, but the price felt fair for what you get. Nice spot if you want a chill dinner without the touristy chaos.

Kids play area kept them busy for a while. Food was decent, nothing crazy. Had the grilled chicken, came out juicy but the sides were a bit bland. Portion size was fair for the price. Place was packed but we still got our food in reasonable time. Would eat here again if we&#39;re in the area.

Cozy spot with a proper vibe. The appetizers were the highlight&mdash;really original and well done. Interior&#39;s nothing fancy, but honestly didn&#39;t care.

The lighting and decor make it feel cozy but still classy. Could easily sit here for hours without anyone rushing you. Wine list had some solid picks too.

The view from the rooftop is unreal, especially at sunset&mdash;you can see the bay and the church perfectly. Food was solid, and Roy took good care of us. Just wish they had a few more drink options.

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.

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.
