My wife and I had just arrived in Malta after a long day of travel from NYC. We were looking for a good meal near our hotel and were pleased with the high ratings of this nearby eatery. Had it not been for the high ratings, we would have never eaten here - tiny place, no other dinners, horrible atmosphere. Reassured by the other ratings we dove in - mistake!! The owner chef and his wife (the only server) were friendly enough. The food was ordinary to poor. I had the seafood pasta. A generous mountain of pasta with no appreciable sauce and sparse amount of seafood. The mussels were tiny and did not taste right. My wife had the mushroom ravioli - the sauce was plentiful but the excess salt spoiled the taste. We shared a brochetta while waiting for our mains - tasty enough but served on a piece of plain bread not the customary baguette. As if the ambiance was not bad enough, there was a delivery of lobster right in the middle of our dinner. The box was plopped down right next as the chef move the lobster into the salt water tank in the front of the restaurant. Somewhat surprised about the disparity between the rating and our dining experience I went back to carefully look at the reviews. Many of the 5 star rating were from individuals with only 1 or 2 reviews and/or residents of Malta. Evidently the chef has lots of friends on Malta that over inflated the ratings. This is one case where you trust your instincts NOT Tripadviser.Gentilissimo cliente....probabilmente era Molto stanco del viaggio a tal punto di non aver notato Che quelli Che lei chiama server non erano 2 ma bensi 4 ma comunque a prescindere dalla sua insoddisfazione personale per il nostro team e per la location tengo a precisare Che dopo 40anni di experience come chef la bruschetta non si fa certamente con la baguette,noi usiamo del pane Saraceno Che esalta il nostro olio extra vergine , ciliegino pachino e mozzarella di BUFALA molto gradito dai nostri clientiPultroppo Devo contraddirla anche sulla linguina allo scoglio....noi non usiamo salsa di pomodoro Che copre i sapori dei frutti di mare ma usiamo ciliegino pachino fresco Inoltre mi spiace per la sua affermaziione nell'offendere tutti I nostri recensori insinuando Che sono di basso livello e nostri amiciLa invito a rileggere le recensioni quando sara' piu riposato e non avra' allucinazioni anche con le lobsters

The best restaurant in Marsaxlokk. (2 people dining, aprx. 19:15)Service was truly excellent, friendly, but very professional. We both would recommend to book a table beforehand or be early in the evening when the restaurant opens.We had 2 cocktails, bottle of wine, two mains and dessert with coffee. Price was below what we expected, and quality of each food was first class. We would come back even for the bread, never had better, a big thank you to the whole restaurant, hopefully we will come and see you again!

I found this place on Google looking for somewhere to eat prior to going to the Hypogeum. I used Messenger a couple of times to contact them to ensure they were open for Tuesday lunch (very quick responses) and even made a booking (completely unnecessary as it happened)!Itâs a genuine family run business. The owner speaks only Italian but we managed very well. After being told that the sea bream was a fillet it turned out to be a whole fish so our lunch took quite a while to prepare. I had pasta with the most delicious sauce of rich passata, anchovy paste, garlic, raisins and pine nuts. Lots of sauce so the very kind owner provided me with a spotlessly clean tea towel to use as a bib! Much appreciated and very necessary.With water, a glass of house white and a local beer the bill came in at under â¬30 (we would have paid year much for the fish in St Julianâs!Recommended if youâre in the Paola area.

We visited here for our wedding anniversary and we really enjoyed it. It used to be a defensive battery from the 17th century and makes for very distinctive surroundings. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated with some lovely dining areas. The views from the balcony are stunning, particularly at night. The food and service was fantastic, and Tony, our very attentive waiter, was very friendly and helpful with suggestions for food and wine. What made our visit particularly memorable was the several cats that are allowed to freely meander around. According to Tony, they inherited them when they converted the old battery to the restaurant years ago, and they continue to look after them. As cat lovers ourselves, we loved this aspect. We plan to return to this truly lovely restaurant before our holiday finishes. Highly recommended.Good afternoon,We thank you for your kind review and generous comment. We are glad you shared a pleasant dining experience with us at Ferretti and that everything was to your expectations. On behalf of Ferretti and Tony, "Thank you". We look forward to hosting you again and wish your stay on our island is memorable!With appreciation and kind regards, Team FERRETTI

We came here based on a localâs recommendation and it was very good. We are outside on the terrace overlooking the port and the market. Upon the owners recommendation I took the king prawns freshly caught. It was delicious. Simple but delicious. We had the octopus tartare and it was very fresh and delicious as well. Grilled calamari was well cooked , melting in our mouth and seasoned to perfection. I would have given you a 5* review but the fact that the lobster was alive in a see trough box in front of me during my lunch, disturbed me. I am obviously not vegan but it was disturbing to have that poor little lobster suffer in front me. I donât want to see that while I have lunch. Also his legs were sticking out of the box and everything was going through it and Iâm sure it hurt him. I observed the reaction of the people walking by and a lot of them had the same reaction as me. Itâs maybe better to keep it behind closed doors instead of showing it off.

Very friendly service with a very nice terrace. Unpretentious and appealing. But the food was nothing like that of a restaurant. Seafood fries were great, but salmon (good taste and fresh) overcooked and Iâd personally never heard of spaghetti vongole without garlic. Price is too high for what they serve - 14-18 ⬠for pasta plates - do not recommend for those who want to eat well. If you go for the view, order deep fried calamari or seafood.

Chose this restaurant because of the reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The food was first-rate. We had the seabass and the calamari. Both were fresh and very appetizing. For desert I wanted my friends to taste Maltese 'mqaret' and, although they were not on the menu on that day, the chef still prepared them for us and they were delicious

The chain makes really good pizza, but for sure that this one has the worst service in Malta. The pizzas always come wrong, we call making the order and still have to wait so they can make another pizza... Awful! The worst service Iâve seen. We never going to eat there againPlease accept our apologies for the above. Would you be so kind as to get in touch with us directly in [email protected] (attention Skyparks) to give us more details as we would like to look into this further to make sure it does not happen again.Our sincere apologies once again.Martin

Il Corsaro is a gem of a restaurant amongst a group of restaurants all offering much the same fare. Simone, the cook/owner serves excellent seafood, pasta and fish. This is a place to relax and enjoy the freshness of the food dished out slowly and washed down by Italian vino. The fare is simple, tasty and different to what we have come to expect on the island. On the pricey side but enjoyed the experience .... we will keep coming back.
