    OMG this was PERFECT. We came for lunch (note! they close between lunch and dinner, so look up the times!!!) and had the lasagna as they were sold out on pizza. The lasagna was good portion and tasted unreal. The service was great and the atmosphere was stunning. It's so good that we want to go back before the end of our holiday.

    A must visit. Quintessential Valletta dinning. A must do. Booking seemed essential. A health and safety nightmare of tables and chairs precariously positioned on the steps. But definitely a memory of arriving in Malta! The pizzas were actually very good. A really nice waiter from Macedonia rounded the evening off superbly.

    Quite a well hyped place actually. We spotted this one which stood out prominently due to the festive atmosphere. The food was quite bland and having IBS, we did have a quite an impact due to this. We only had their lasagne which was bit too sweet and focaccia which was on the hard texture. The service was nice and we enjoyed an evening which dint revolve around food.

    Beautiful little Italy in the heart of Valletta! Very nice authentic place with great vibes and the best hits of Sanremo festival. Delicious pizza, good selection of wines, cocktails, and other drinks. Everything you need to enjoy the bustling city life and yourself in that moment. Thanks to Andre for his attentive and welcome service. It's definitely worth visiting!

    So good I went two days in a row. Excellent food, friendly and attentive service, and perhaps the best outdoor seating atmosphere in all of Valletta. The pizza was phenomenal and the bakes pasta... wow. Best part? They don't rip you off and hit you with the tourist tax. Planning on dining for dinner? Make a reservation in advance!

    We booked a table for 8:30pm, and it was reserved for us :) The location is so dreamy, great atmosphere, the pizza was quite nice too- however we waited 40 minutes for our order. Staff is caring and kind. Recommend it:) (We tried the pizza Bufola and Marinara)

    Stunning, tranquil settings with excellent food at a very reasonably price. Staff were mostly very friendly although with a couple of minor hitches. Both pizza and pasta were to a very high standard. Recommended!

    I thought the perfect pizza place didn't exist, until I came here. One of the best pizza's I've had (and I've eaten alooot of pizzas), in amazing spot and atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, and we're able to give me a table even as a solo traveler. A must go place on your stay in Valletta! 💚🍕 Thanks again. (Only minus from the tiramisu, which could have been a slightly bigger portion and more sweet) 🍮

    Having just arrived from the UK this place was about 10m from our hotel (66 St Paul’s) and even at 5pm was busy and vibrant. Kitchen closed between 5 and 6 so we had a few drinks whilst we waited. The local Cisk beer (lager) was good but the Blue beer was much better. Sadly there wasn’t a great selection of wine and what we tried wasn’t very good at all but there is an extensive selection of Whiskey on the menu 😄so I’ll be going back to work my way through that one evening. The staff are extremely friendly playing with the kids in the families dining with them. Most tables are for two as they’re perched on steps down the hill but we did see them cater for a group of 10 too. Virtually every table was reserved on a Wednesday night so we could only have our table until 7pm but that was fine. We ordered pizza at 6pm and it was with us within 10mins and was fantastic! By this time the tables had all filled up and there was a real party atmosphere! We would highly recommend the restaurant for their food, atmosphere and value for money.

    Really nice little place. Great location. Friendly and attentive staff with a great selection of beer, wine, and pizza. Found myself watching the world cup here with it's perfectly placed screens and faery lights, making for a lovely atmosphere. Thank you!

    Cane across this little restaurant by chance. Myself and partner have a number of food allergies between us.John Paul served us and we explained. He was amazing and served us a vegetarian pasta dish made especially for us. It was mouth watering ... so good!

    Just wonderful. We went around 6 on a Saturday night hoping to be seated being on the early side and it worked! My pampelle spritz was delightful, as was all of the food. We had bruschetta, the Burrata ham salad, and bufala pizza. The waiters were very friendly, couldn’t recommend it enough! Definitely book a table in advance if you want to go during peak times.

    Went for a pizza and wine - we’re not disappointed. The selection of food is great and the service is really quick. Would I say it was the best pizza I had in Malta - no. But it was decent and the overall ambiance of the street did the rest (:

    My favourite of the meals we had in Malta. Beautiful setting on the steps of a quiet street in Malta, 80s music playing and fantastic service from lovely, smiley staff. Everything we ate was fantastic and so cheap. We'll be dreaming of the pizzas for a long time!

    Make reservations before coming to this place. It gets very busy around 9pm and you can wait for a while. Once seated we where able to enjoy the surroundings with the pretty lights. The good came very quickly and it was big portions and very tasty. The only thing I wish they put a light more mortadella on my pizza but it tasted really good.

  • 5/5 Jade J. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience was relaxed, It felt like a romantic movie with the way the street was equipped with the lights. The service was great and fast but not stressful. I ordered the margarita pizza and have no regrets. Definitely coming back here when I return to Malta. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

    Buzzing atmosphere, great pizza and super fast, friendly service! ~€13 for a good quality, tasty pizza with great fresh, flavourful toppings. Sitting on the steps in the evening with the lamps on and all this activity happening is a great experience - highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Krzysztof L. 1 year ago on Google
    You can eat very tasty pizza here. Pizza with pistachios deserves a big plus, very tasty. The pizzas are large, the crust is crispy. The tables are outside on the stairs, in a narrow alley decorated with lamps. It is a mega atmosphere! A lot of people, so it's hard to find a table, definitely book early!

  • 5/5 Marta P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to visit! Delicious Italian food and drinks, Pizza is above 30 cm, dough is not really thin, but really good. Lasagne is also to recommend. The most amazing is the atmosphere, beautiful restaurant. It is better to book a table, i could do reservation for the next day. Highly recommend!

    Good vibes and ambience. Friendly stuff and fantastic pizzas and Lasagna 👌Cocktails are a must if you visit. I recommend the espresso martini

    Located in one of the cutest streets in Valletta. You do need to book in advance since there are only a few tables on the terrace. The terrace is located on a set of stairs so the tables and chairs are a bit small. But the vibe is so nice. The food isn't anything out of this world but it is good and also affordable. I would highly recommend going here to enjoy the vibe, a pizza and a cocktail.

    Great atmosphere! Kindly staff, delicious food! Everything was nice. If you plan to visit on the weekend, It's better to make a reservation before.

  • 4/5 Jenna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Seems like a staple for tourists in Valetta. The seating outside on the steps is picturesque. Decent price for the quality. Basic quality pizza. Sometimes the staff was standing around (trying to cool off in the heat) but missing customers looking for help.

  • 4/5 Kyle B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, service and really nice atmosphere. They make a great effort to decorate the outdoor steps really nicely for seasonal occasions like Christmas and all year round too. Always a good vibe and worth visiting especially on a nice day!

    Lovely place, lovely food and reasonable prices. Thoroughly enjoyed food and was only an 8 minute walk from close bus stop. Restaurant next to it had a fan blowing hot air, got a bit annoying after a while. Wouldn't recommend to someone with mobility issues.

  • 4/5 Elaine F. 2 years ago on Google
    Stumbled into this place by mistake as it was near our hotel. The staff are pleasant and efficient, and the food is delicious. We had a pepperoni pizza and cannelloni. Quaint set up with just the right amount of music heard in the background. Highly recommend.
