The pasta trio was the reason we came and honestly it didn&rsquo;t disappoint. The waitress was lovely, and the chef actually came out to talk through the specials which felt personal. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. Still, a solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

The calamarata was huge and really well done. Sitting by the water made it better. Waiters were lovely too. Probably my favourite meal this trip.

Came here for a special dinner and the food was solid. The chef&rsquo;s French technique really shows in the dishes. Nice touch having the chef stop by the table. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

Came here after a mate told me about it. The linguine with baby calamari was decent, pasta cooked right. Goat cheese starter was good too. Place is small, got that old-school Maltese feel. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Prices fair for what you get. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area.

The grilled octopus was spot on&mdash;tender, smoky, not rubbery at all. Portion could be bigger for the price, but the flavor made up for it.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly left surprised. Portions are huge for the price, which is always a win. I got the homemade pasta and it was solid&mdash;nothing fancy, just properly cooked and comforting. Staff let me take my time even though it was busy. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Eggs Your Way was decent but the halloumi could use more seasoning. Service was quick enough for a lunch stop. Fine if you need a fast bite.

The hot chocolate here is proper thick, just how I like it. Croissant was fresh too. Place is small but cosy, good for a quick stop when you&#39;re out and about.

We stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table near the pool. The fish carpaccio was fresh and light, and my pasta came out just right. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Only small thing&mdash;the seating felt a bit cramped near the water. Still, a comfortable spot to unwind for an hour or two.

Stopped here after Blue Grotto. Seafood was fresh, no complaints. Tried the beetroot burger from the specials&mdash;decent option if you&#39;re not into fish. View over the water is the real draw. Service was fine, nothing slow. Prices fair for what you get. Solid stop if you&#39;re in the area.

The salted caramel and chocolate pie here is genuinely good, though the filling felt more like pancake topping than pie. Wings are pricey for what you get, but I&#39;d come back just for that dessert.

Tried the ribs here while catching a game&mdash;solid choice, messy but worth it. Menu&rsquo;s huge, so I&rsquo;ll probably come back to work through more of it.

Been here a few times now and the char-grilled steaks never miss. Cooked exactly how I asked. Bay Street location makes it easy to pop in. Menu&#39;s huge but the platters are decent value.

Food&#39;s good but pricey. Had the rabbit and it was tender, sauce was rich. Place felt a bit cold though, not much warmth inside. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Decent if you&#39;re nearby and don&#39;t mind paying a bit extra. Not somewhere I&#39;d go out of my way for.

Stopped in for a drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The view is really something, especially around sunset. Bartender knew their spirits well, talked me into something I wouldn&#39;t normally pick. Food was decent too, had the pasta. Seats are comfy, could easily nap there. Only thing is it gets a bit loud when it fills up.

Been coming here for a while now, and the pasta keeps me coming back. Had the tagliatelle again last night, still as good as the first time I tried it. Laura remembered our usual order, which was a nice touch. Place gets busy, but the food stays consistent. That&#39;s why I keep returning.

Been coming here for a while now. The beef stew is what keeps me coming back&mdash;always tender, always the same good quality. Tried the stuffed chicken once too, solid choice. Place gets a bit busy at lunch, but that&#39;s fine. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for Maltese food, no fuss.

Stopped here for lunch with a friend and it was exactly the kind of chill spot we needed. The seabass was fresh, but honestly the bread was the real highlight. They even brought us complimentary limoncello at the end, which felt like a sweet little bonus. Place is pretty quiet, so good for actually talking. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The pasta was fresh, really well cooked. My carbonara had that silky sauce, not the clumpy kind you get in tourist spots. Staff left us alone until we needed them, which I appreciate. Prices felt fair for what came out of the kitchen. Only thing, the place got a bit loud by 8pm, but that&#39;s on me for going at peak time.

The grilled calamari was spot on, fresh and tender. Salt-baked sea bass did not disappoint either. Marina view is nice but you pay for it.

Stopped by for lunch and went straight for the calamari and lobster mini burgers. Both were solid, but the peach stracciatella salad really caught me off guard&mdash;fresh and light. Portions are decent, no complaints there. Place was a bit busy, but food came out quick enough.
