La Pira Maltese Kitchen — Restaurant in Valletta

Don’t bother going here. Sat down on our last night of the holiday and was extremely disappointed. Wanted some Maltese food after spending a few days in Malta enjoying lots of different cuisines.

Poor from start to finish.

Every dish we tried to order was unavailable until finally we ordered the only fish left that was available. It came and tasted like it was the leftovers from the weekend (ate on monday). Had to smother with lemon and salt to have any taste other than the extremely fishy taste that was offered.

Food all came pretty cold and the potatoes that came with the rabbit and fish were very cold and oily.

Chicken wasn’t available, prawn carpaccio wasn’t available, sea bass and salmon special all unavailable no pistachio tarts for dessert available. Why open a restaurant if you have no food to serve?

Offered no water for our meal, didn’t get bread for the table when all other tables had it.

Writing this review about an hour after eating and my tummy is not feeling great. This was the most expensive meal of the holiday and by...

Had dinner there last night (2 people). Already had a reservation, we were seated outside.

we have ordered drinks and two starters. maltese plate and calamari. food was served more than an hour later. checked in twice with the waiter. next table (6 people) who arrived 10mins after us, were served before us (only 2 of them). then another waiter approached, explaining their wifi collapsed, so orders did not go through, hence the delay. we wanted to cancel at that stage, he assured we would have our food in 5 minutes and we did.

food was average in taste. when we asked for the bill, there was an error, when we raised it it was corrected and we were even given the water on the house as a gesture. the waiter in the end was kind, trying to make up for the situation, knew how to express himself etc. however, still a very poor experience, cant recommend this place and would not go again.

location is very prime (also very touristy, so not for everyone), kind of lacks...

This review will be a total u turn to the other reviews for this restaurant. Good food but very unpolite staff. I orderd a pint kinnie and brought a kinnie spritz. No problem I take it. I also said that I would pay for it. Then I ordered rabbit pasta it was good, however they brought it with cheese. I do not take cheese. When I asked to change the pasta and have it without cheese the waiter started shouting.. or speaking loadly... at me that I did not order rabbit at all. Crazy. I knew what I ordered. It's them that they are disorganised enough of not knowing what the people want.

Then I decided to complain with the manager for the attitude. The excuse he brought was because we were four guys and only one ordered food. I told him immediately that they should have spoken beforehand and we would have gone. Then he said that it was during a busy hour. After they brought the pasta we paid our due and went away. We didn't want to order anything else. The place is very...
