    Food was not good and definitely was not up to standard for what we paid. Calamari were not fresh, lobster pasta was mostly tomato sauce only, seabass filet was very oily, roast potatoes were almost raw because they were barely cooked, and ribeye was undercooked and did not taste good. Quality of the food for the money we paid does not match at all. I do not recommend.

    Nice little restaurant which serves mostly Italian and seafood fare with a slight Maltese twist. The majority of other patrons wanted to sit on the terrace whilst we chose inside, which explains the ambiance rating. All dishes were good and service fine. Good views over the marina

    Abbiamo aspettato un'ora prima che ci servissero il cibo. Quando abbiamo chiesto al cameriere anziano, è stato molto maleducato. Ha parlato malissimo solo perché gli abbiamo fatto una domanda. Anche se parlavamo inglese, ha pensato che fossimo americani e non sapeva che capissimo l'italiano. Vergogna al personale.
