Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We enjoyed our visit here after a long time a way. We were joined by friends from Malta so the location of the restaurant (walking distance from the ferry) was ideal. Service was fine and we all enjoyed our meals. The seabass was excellent and...the pasta was good. Prices are very fair for a restaurant of this kind and views are good if you can get a table near the windows looking out towards the harbour.More

On a Wednesday evening we decided to try this restaurant. It was busy, but they seated us at a table a few minutes before 9pm (I checked the time for a completely unrelated matter). They immediately gave us the menus, listed the specials of the...day, and quickly brought us the water that we order. After that... nothing. The waiters kept walking past our table without even looking at us. After about 20 minutes we loudly called a passing waitress, who then could no longer pretend that we did not exist. We placed our orders and, guess what?, same story as before. After 30 minutes I was ready to leave, however my wife wanted to make another try. She managed to stop the same waitress as before and we asked what happened to our dinner. The waitress apologized for the delay (at least that) and told us that the food would be ready in 10 minutes. My son's spare ribs arrived a few minutes later, because they were (obviously) pre-cooked and only needed to be plated. After a while we told him to start eating. A while later, my order and part of the sides were delivered. Once again, I waited to see if my wife's food would come, but no luck. My wife's order and the rest of the sides arrived when I was already halfway through my food. From the moment we sat down to when everyone got their food, more than an hour had passed. When we paid, I mentioned that to the waiter and, instead of an apology, he just told us that it wasn't true. Just unbelievable. We had to pick up our other son and we were already late, so I just paid and left fuming. I understand that the restaurant was busy, but if they can't serve their customers in a timely fashion, then they should not seat them at a table. Incidentally, the food was ok, but honestly I can't recommend this restaurant after this experience.More

I visited this restaurant twice this year, once with my boyfriend and another time with my friend. Staff were very friendly and outgoing, and the service was fast and excellent. Food was so delicious and to die for. We enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend...this restaurant and will definitely visit again myself.More

I love coming here for the guarantee in fresh fish and sea food! The pasta is to die for but my favorite it the grilled fish. The boys who run it are very sweet and full of energy. It shows that effort is made in...obtaining good quality ingredients.More

From the moment we walked in the male waiter had an attitude towards us. He was rude and no customer service skills at all. All of our food that came out looked wonderful and that’s as good as it got. I had the clams and...they were tasty until I found one that was black and slimy. Then two other family members ordered the filet of fish, and they were full of bones, the final dish ordered was the Mixed seafood grill and the Swordfish was over cooked and very dry, the prawns were under cooked and RAW. The female waitress was great! Don’t waist your money at this place. Never going back ever.More

Four of us went for dinner yesterday evening. We ordered fish platter starter for 2 x2 (these we were told were €26 each) As this was quite filling, we then ordered 4 pasta starter 2x Vongole, 1x Beef fillet, and 1x Sea food. We had...3 deserts, 2 bottles of wine @ €25 euros each and a bottle of water. The bill came to €187 for the four of us, which was effectively 8 starters! Will not go back, there are much better restaurants for a lot less!More

We stopped there for lunch. The kids meals are good portions for the price. Our food was also very nice. Too bad we felt the pressure from our servers from the start. I understand they are eager to work and get more tables, but I...am guessing people going there are on holidays so I would recommend they back off a bit. Spoiled it for us.More

Guy taking reservation acted like I was doing him a favour. Antipasti were decent and soup ok. My spaghetti vongole was average at best and my wife had a pasta deemed good but again nothing to die for. A good second option.

A wonderful restaraunt. The service was 10/10 and the food the same. If you head over on the ferry it's a short walk from the terminal and a great way to relax or take a short break after what can be quite a long journey...before...uou head off to your destination in Gozo. Really excellent food and a great ambient soundtrack. We came during off season and were impressed but I imagine it will be amazing during the summer.More

This was a last minute booking with friends as plans changed. Not visited this little gem of a restaurant for a few years now and we were certainly not disappointed. From the call to book when they were very helpful and squeezed us in, to...the excellent service and amazing food, this was first class and will certainly be visiting again soonMore

We have just finished 6 of us though food was not at all to satisfaction. Taliata rib eye was requested well done though served rare. French fries and veg were served 10 minutes later and thus the meat went cold. Further to this the spagetti...with lobster just a lump. Will not visit this restaurant again. Sorry not up to standard.More
