"Very fresh and vibrant Maltese antipasti with a very good local wine. Nice and intelligent staff. Definetly must visit!"

"Soup was delicious. Pureed vegetable, nice and hot, with great bread. It was very crowded outside (gorgeous day) we sat inside at a small table. The menu was interesting, with many items 10 or just over. The service was slow, but they were so busy, couldn't be upset. I'd love to go again and try one..."
