Dine like kings in Valletta pt1

Valletta, colloquially known as 'Il-Belt' by the locals, is known for its spectacular night life throughout the year. What better way than to spend your night relaxing with a bottle of wine overlooking the harbour in the Upper Barrakka Gardens . I love walking around Valletta, getting lost in its beauty and serenity. Here are some tips on where to spend your nights in Valletta, where you can enjoy both its culture and energy at the same time.

If you are looking for an authentic plate of Roman style pasta make your way to Zero Sei, a small trattoria situated right near the Teatru Manoel. It is truly a slice of Rome on the Maltese islands, holding Rome's love and passion for food.

Every day we cook the original recipes of a tradition passed down from generation to generation, based on a source of rural and peasant origin. The Roman cuisine flavours are unmistakable: Strong and special flavours conceived of raw materials from the villages of the region.

They have authentic recipes and typical products that have made Roman cuisine famous all over the world. Also paying special attention to its selection of wines produced in the best Italian vineyards. If you fancy a pizza of the same style go to the newly opened restaurant by the same owners, Sotto Pizzeria. Found on the outskirts of Valletta in South Street, boasting its Italian roots, Sotto's pizzas are to die for, receiving a whopping 4.5 review on Trip Advisor. Many customers rave that it's the "best pizza in Malta".


Moving away from all those carbs is Sciacca Grill, a little bit on the expensive side but totally worth it. Named after the Sicilian Village, this Grill house goes beyond its culinary calling. Their meat is full of natural flavour as it melts in your mouth, the tastes are effortless and dance around your tastebuds.

Not to mention their broad Cocktail making skills, any drink you fancy, they'll make it. The first time I dined there, I asked for a Pornstar Martini. Honestly, they looked a bit confused and when it arrived it didn't come as traditionally made; the shot of Prosecco was in the drink as opposed to placed on the side separately. Nevertheless, when I took the first sip ... wow! The wave of passionfruit tingled my tastebuds, it's sourness and sweetness blended together making a perfect harmony.


This is just a taste of  "go-to" restaurants in Valletta. More on my next blog.
