Truly the Maltese ambience in full effect, especially when the entertainers are there. Food was good and definitely not as expensive as other places. The turkey dish was innovative but a bit dry (not as good as the lamb shank) and the pizza’s crust was delicious. Service was subpar, lacking knowledge of dishes whenever we asked questions and sometimes forgetting us since we were in a separate room kind of. Nevertheless, I’ll visit again for sure.

Probably the best spot for local dishes in Valetta. We had some slow cooked rabbit and braised horse meat. Simply excellent. I enjoyed the interior design of the restaurant. The place is highly recommended.
