This was the best Diavola and Cleopatra pizza ever. My girlfriend can't eat food with gluten and lactose. So we asked if they could make gluten-free and lactose-free meals, and they said they could do focaccia and every pizza without gluten and cheese 😁. That was such a relief because it is so hard to find restaurants that can make gluten and lactose-free meals. So my gf chose Cleopatra pizza with speck, pistachio paste, porcini, yellow cherry tomatoes, and basil, and they removed mozzarella for di latte. That pizza was out of this world 🤤. The whole bottom of the dough was covered in pistachio paste 🤤. Diavola pizza was delicious, not too spicy, and the onions were tiny and sliced on top. The dough was paper thin in the middle and the crust was airy and soft. This was the best diavola I ever tried in Malta, and I tried a lot of them 😀. So I highly recommend this place if you want to eat lactose and gluten-free food. Also Igor the waiter was super helpful and gave us better knives for cutting the pizza 😀. And not to forget, my gf could not eat the whole pizza, so we took the rest with us and they gave us pizza box 😀. And there was a guy with the saxophone that played nice music 😀.

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! We've dined here twice, and both experiences were exceptional. Zoran, our server, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quick to respond to anything we needed. He made sure our drinks were always topped up and truly enhanced our dining experience. The food was out of this world! We shared the steak for two, and it was nothing short of breathtaking. Every bite was a flavor explosion, cooked to absolute perfection at medium. The potatoes and sides were equally divine, complementing the steak beautifully. Beyond the incredible food and top-notch service, the atmosphere was also brilliant. The live music added a wonderful touch, making the evening even more special. This place truly has it all—amazing food, spectacular service, and a lively ambiance. Highly recommend!

When there after valleta wheel and christmas stuff, kids got hungry around 8pm so.we went to eat little bit, pass 1h nothing arrived asked and said we busy coming soon around 9.30pm kids food.arrived but ours never did ands pasta was not cooked properly but they were very hungry so let them eat it but for 10 euro was bad as hilton kids food is cheaper. After kids finish our food didn't arrive we were going to leave some time they gave the pizza and we were thinking other food will come and again more wait we ask we trying but we can't do nothing and ask for manager or owner they didnt want to come out from inside as they know is was very bad, then mu risotto came and guess what it look like soup but I was to tired complaining that I eat some of it but was cold as t had sea food was scared and had little stomach pains after. Instead of little stop and continue with christmas we had to go home as kids are very sleepy. No more coming to this place as treat customers as money not for nice meal and hire more people in kitchen or need to train as food quality I was seeing was very bad around me, I can say fryer oil need change as food look very dark. In the picture is the risotto even my small son knows how to cook better Nd for 12.50 risotto at least better cooking

Even if the location is nice, you have a view of the architecture of church Saint John, you have love band, the service is quite poor. The waiters have a lack of interest in clients. I wasn’t sure of what I want to eat and I asked our waiter for a recommendation and he recommended us just the most expensive things in the menu. (Like sea food) After that, when I told him I want a pizza, he disappeared and another waiter served us. I had a Valleta pizza and my husband had a risotto with prawns. My pizza was just like a soup. (I am aware of the fact that pizza has to be juicy) And it arrived cold. My husband’s prawns were not husked. (Again, I understand the fact that the dish has to look good, but that’s just not the way!) After all, our food was awful and expensive. Sorry guys for this feedback and I wish I had better things to say… But that’s all for now.

Absolutely disgusting, I ordered fresh fish and asked for a fillet, I got a cold jagged part of the fish with head... I asked for it to be reheated and the staff looked at me like I was crazy. After a few minutes the plate came back to me, but the fish was inedible, when I talked to the waiter he was very surprised and eventually they asked the chef, who came and asked what my problem was. I explained, he admitted I was right, apologized and I did not pay for the dish. The rest of the friends ordered pasta, which was undercooked and bitter. To sum up the food terrible, no wonder the review is poor, which is a shame because the place has potential.

After ordering we have waited for a long time, people who came in after us got their food earlier than we did. When we asked a waiter about or food he would ask the kitchen but he never came back to inform us about the food. After that we had to ask another waiter about the food, they signed that it was coming. After waiting for AN HOUR for our food, the quality of the food wasn’t even that great and they never even apologised for taking so long. I had a sandwich with chicken, there was no taste. It was just fried chicken with some sauce on it to compensate. So if you don’t want to wait for long time and get good service, don’t go here.
