Highly recommended - We recently went in 3 (me, my wife and my 19 year old daughter). Being us in Gezira, about 40/50 minutes (and more for traffic), we took the solution with the transfer included and I think we did very well. A Bolt would have been expensive especially for the return where you pass through a Rimini-style country where there is incredible traffic. The restaurant is in the Maltese hinterland, far from the chaos and you can breathe a different air than the seaside villages. Meeting point under the hotel at 6.30 pm and return departure at 10.30 pm from the restaurant. Perhaps we should postpone the return at least an hour, because the evening is enlivened a lot and sorry to leave. A boy and girl next to us, they chose not to return and then organize their return independently. The restaurant is really typical and above all it is special. I would say it should be called " HAPPINESS ", because really there you spend a happy and unique evening and those around you, from the owner to the waiters, all have a smile on their lips. For those who had booked like us with Tripadvisor it worked like this: the appetizer is one and is fixed for everyone (an arancino stuffed with meat and mushrooms with mushroom sauce and a kind of flavored fat to spread on bread). Then you can choose a first among two on the list (I had fish soup, while my daughter and my wife had ravioli). Then choose a second from 4 on the list. I took the squid with the side dish, while my daughter and wife roasted the rabbit with the side dish. The side dish was a little on the plate and then in the bowls, apart, with baked potatoes inside. Finally they bring you a big glass of stuffed panna cotta. The courses were cooked to perfection and were plentiful (especially the main courses) and I who am one who eats a lot, I got up full. I'll post a picture of the dumplings, there are only three, but believe me that was enough. I've never eaten a squid so tender and tasty. If I had to rate eating, from 1 to 10, I'd give it 9, just because there's always room for improvement in everything. The panna cotta, for me it was space. I've never had panna cotta like that. A delicacy. Congratulations to those who made it and to me who ate it:-))). I also wanted to finish those left over from my wife and daughter, but I held back because I was afraid of being sick when I returned by bus:-))). The place is gorgeous. The owner, who also presents the folklore show, is a myth. During dinner, there was soft music with two gentlemen guitarists singing, as well as international songs, also some Italian, both in our language and in English. Amazing and especially suitable while you were eating. During dinner a very nice blonde amberjack lady was around the room, who asked to pass her the phone to take pictures at the table and above all she is wild to dance. In fact, at a certain time a portion of the floor rises and hosts the folk dance. A strange dance similar to those you do in a group in Sardinia. The girls were amazing. Finished eating begins the dance music of the 80s/90s and the place becomes, only in the stage area, a half dance hall. I only write in the area, as, although my daughter and I could not resist not dancing, those who did not want to dance could sit quietly at his table just watching who danced. So very nice and engaging even for those who do not like dancing or particularly hate confusion. Here too the blonde waitress did an amazing show. A crazy drag. My daughter is quite a shy girl and honestly I was surprised that she was on the track with me. I swear I was really sorry to leave at 10.30. I would have stayed there at least another hour. The only advice I can give to the owner is just that, if he can do it, to arrange the return transfer, at least at 11.30. What else can I say? Great food, great atmosphere, great local and unforgettable evening even and only if you go with your family. Money really well spent. Thanks to the restaurateur who made us spend an evening in simplicity, genuine as if we were family. PS my wife told me that in a week in Malta, it was the only restaurant, in which although we ate a lot, it digested very well :-))).

Authentic Maltese Night out - Went with 2 of my nieces, we had the best evening, Belinda is an amazing host. The portions were quite large. There were 12 of us on a table and we all really enjoyed the night

Fantastic night - It was a fantastic night. Food, wine, folklore dancers were incredible. To close the night we danced for 1/2 hour. It was like a wedding. Do book your experience, you will enjoy it.

Maltise evening - It is good to attend in a group. The food is interesting. The dancing is not very exciting. We had a good evening.

Nice evening - Plenty of food and drink and friendly staff and hostess Food was good I chose Horse Stew as the main course and meat was very good

Traditional dancing topped the evening - It is what it says. Traditional dancing was nice to watch. Food choices were limited and the food just okay, but as a Maltese food experience it met the brief. Staff were friendly.
