Read moreI’ve had the pleasure of visiting this gem of a restaurant twice this year to celebrate two different friends’ birthdays — and both times were exceptional. Located just off Żebbuġ square, this place serves authentic Italian cuisine prepared by a skilled Italian chef. Every dish we ordered was fantastic — from the croquettes and both fish and beef tartare for starters, to the divine pasta and satisfying main courses.
