1 star because the Titimusu was good, although we did order 2 and they only gave us 1 (the reason being that one waiter spoke English and the other did not. BUT he insisted on taking our order which my husband thinks is because they wanted to rush us out). We came in on a Monday evening because we could not find another place that was open and we were staying at the hotel above them. Once we walked In, the hostess that was meant to seat us eyed me down top to bottom because I was dressed in a jacket and sneakers (even though we had rented the best suite the hotel had to offer) as soon as we were seated they had given us menus that we realized were not the same. My husband was handed the menu with prices and I was not, even though my husband was not eating, very sexist in my opinion. When we ordered wine, they gave my husband a taster but they did not offer me one (again very sexist) I have come to realize that this is a part of italian culture but I do not agree with it because I paid bill in the end. Also as we were leaving, the hostess that had seated us at the beginning and had taken our coats, handed us our coats as if our jackets were contaminated and that her fingers were polluted for touching our jackets. Worst experience I've ever had in a resturants but the tiramisu was very good that is why they get 1 star. Will not be coming back to the resturant but will visit the hotel again an it was very lovely...
Read moreWe’ve been to other Michelin star restaurants in Malta and London and sadly my husband and I did not feel Re Mauri measured up in comparison. The dishes are ambitious but the execution wasn’t great, felt more like a bunch of random ingredients on a plate that didn’t work together rather than elevated, refined and complete dishes that you’d expect from a Michelin star restaurant. The service was OK but not very welcoming and I’m sure I could hear them criticising us in Italian at one point (I can understand some of the language), presumably as we’re a younger couple and they probably didn’t think we knew anything about good food. Most disappointingly I ended up ordering a plate of veal organs completely unbeknownst to me and honestly I would have appreciated the server clarifying what the dish was and if I was sure it’s what I wanted. Our favourite bits were the amuse bouche and the bread, the rest we sort of choked down. Sadly we left feeling like we...
Read moreFantastic experience visiting here. Service was perfect, and made us feel comfortable. I loved that when we asked for sparkling water, they presented us with a whole book of different waters with different mineral and pH content. I did a two glass wine pairing since I didn't want the full wine pairing, they are good about customizing their services to suit your needs. The food was spectacular, very unique compared to other tasting menus I have tried since they used a lot of local seafood and other ingredients that brought out delicious flavors. Presentation was also artful. The restaurant is very hospitable, bringing out many extra surprises. I could not even finish the desserts, it was so much. Beautiful views also, if you can sit in...
