The Piccolo Padre is a must in Sliema. The looks are amazing, the food is great and the service is the best. We had some sea food and rissoto and it was greatly cooked and fresh. For someone who doesn't eat calamari or octopus this was a first, so if this doesn't convice you, i don't know what is. Special thanks for Johnny. He is a great guy and a very good waiter.

This was an excellent taste of Maltese food with a friendly host and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely go back again. The food was tasty and the combination of tastes is impeccable. Raymond Fauzza is the best chef. I loved how the waiters treated us, they made us feel at home. The view is the best. 10 on 10 ... well done!!
