Reviews on Italian food in Senglea, Island of Malta, Malta. Senglea (Maltese: L-Isla [ˈlɪslɐ]), also known by its title Città Invicta (or Civitas Invicta), is a fortified city in the South Eastern Region of Malta. It is one of the Three Cities in the Grand Harbour area, the other two being Cospicua and Vittoriosa, and has a population of slightly below three thousand people. The city's title Città Invicta was given because it managed to resist the Ottoman invasion at the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. The name is Senglea since the Grand Master who built it, Claude de la Sengle, gave this city a part of his name.

A little piece of Italy in the heart of Valletta, as we like to describe it. We offer light snacks like piadinas (home made italian flat bread), focaccias, superb Italian sandwiches, lovely salads and soups, all accompanied with exquisite Vergnano coffee.

Not attractive from outside, old-fashioned sign saying Rubino Confectionery. While we were there, 3 sets of people came along, peered through window, decided against it.Service brilliant - the maitre d' was on his own and was a one-man dynamo! pork arancini, 2x gurbell fish (meagre, rock bream). lovely 1/2 bottle wine, tiramisu and creme brulee. â¬89.

This was recommended by a local. We couldn't get a booking as they were apparently full, but we decided to turn up and try our luck. Fortunately we were able to join a communal / shared table - which was relaxed and buzzy. Had a delicious pizza with truffle sauce - yum!! Fast professional service, nice decor, great tastes, fair prices.

This is an odd and delightful place. There is a Moroccan vibe. Reservations are a must. Itâs cash only. Itâs a small plate/shared plate model. Food is locally sourced. There were six of us and we crowded the small interior. Alissa provided excellent service and guided us through the menu making appreciated suggestions. Adding to the pleasure was the presence of a talented piano player. We were charmed, well fed and well cared for. We tried it all.....multiple bruschetta, (the Louis was a favorite) flat breads, which resemble fresh folded tortillas stuffed with cheese, meat and arugula and a giant sliced meat cured meat and cheese platter. Each order was well explained by Alissa, which prevented surprises and built anticipation. Local beer and wines were enjoyed with the food. This is a great place for relaxing and enjoying the non typical menu.

Value for money pizza. It's a good choice for take away Italian food. The employees were very kind and helpful. Pizzas were very fresh, but the taste was just ok. Thanks for your review Jorge.

When reading a previous review of this restaurant I noted âthe best carbonara in the world.â We made reservations prior to departing the US. It was an accurate description. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the vibe casual, the food good and the value noteworthy. Do make reservations. This is a small restaurant and we saw them turn people away.

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

We visited with our friends twice in ten days and what a fantastic meal on both occasions. We have been going to Malta for over 20 years and this restaurant in Birgu is a must. They also have a great selection of good wine to choose from. The restaurant is quite small, so you will need to book.
