Sicilia Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Valletta

Out for an afternoon stroll around Valletta and found this little pavement café and restaurant at the foot of a steep street. Nice terraced area outside with sun shades and views over the sea to be had.

A pint of Cisk was the drink of choice – excellent as always. Opted to try the beef tagliata – this comprised lovely strips of medium-rare steak on a bed of salad leaf with cherry tomatoes. The steak was very well cooked and overall, this was a very fresh and light meal. Small bowl of chips on the side – probably just the right amount.

So I had to go to another restaurant and get coffee to go while we waited for our food. I loved the food and view but probably...

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I asked the waiter if they had a table for 2, which they did, however the waiter said they are full. We proceeded to sit down at a table we found but they proceeded to act like we weren’t there. We raised our hand, said excuse me but they completely disregarded us. They went to hand menus to the table that sat down after us. We raised our hands again and attempted to get their attention but still nothing. They even went to serve the group of people that waited after us. Absolutely disgusting by the waiters. Would definitely not recommend this place. We ended up getting up and leaving. FYI I am of black decent which I believe was...
