Il Cantiere ristorante, Sliema

The place has been redecorated. It looks more vibrant now, but still offers its patrons the same intimate feel of the previous Snoopy’s. Upstairs is used for dining whereas in the seating downstairs one can enjoy a bottle of wine along with some antipasti.

Pepe Nero, Valletta Waterfront, Malta

This restaurant was suggested to me by two friends, whose judgment on food I trust fully. The pizza I was told is amazing. When I visited with a group of friends we all opted for the grill though. Our choices included boneless chicken thighs, grilled calamari and rib-eye. I had the Veal T-bone which was...

La Sfoglia, Valletta

The ideal place to get away from the chaos, though it might not be everyone’s piece of cake to dine in an underground room. There are in fact two adjacent rooms, and it can be very intimate if the restaurant is not busy.

The restaurant is situated in an alley off one of daytime’s busiest Sliema roads. Once we climbed up the few steps that leave Bisazza Street behind, we found ourselves into a jam-packed restaurant. We were greeted by the hostess, to who we gladly confirmed our reservation.

I Monelli Paceville – Second visit

In my opinion here they serve the best pizza on the island. The dough is exceptional and does not make you feel bloated after finishing off a whole pizza.  Pizzas are loaded with just the right amount of fresh and finest Italian ingredients.  It had to be I Monelli when my group of friends were...

Tarragon Restaurant, St Paul’s Bay

This Maltese restaurant situated at the edge of the inlet of St.Paul’s bay is idea to enjoy a splendid view onto this well know bay in Malta. Finding this restaurant is easy, especially for the locals but parking is a headache! Inside the décor is nothing to speak of, it is all dark wood (mahogany)...

I Monelli, Paceville

Date of Last Visit: Wednesday 17/02/2010 for dinner No of Victims: writer and two guests The Damage: EUR 66 The Entrance:  I must say that whoever designed this restaurant did a superb job.  From the moment you walk up the five/six stairs and enter through the automatic sliding door, you immense yourself in a truly...
