"In the old town of Valletta, among the major tourist attractions, an authentic and flavourful traditional Maltese cuisine is served in a simple and informal setting. Among the most successful dishes are pulled rabbit rigatoni, homemade filled pasta, Maltese stuffed marrows, pan-fried octopus, and Aljotta, the island’s typical fish soup." - Michelin Inspector

The food was one of beter one's of Maltese. The service was not very good. Pepole in this restavrant makes you feel that they dont wont you there. Tables are realy small and croudy. The foid it self was good. The baked potato is very spacy so just be aware of that if kids will eat it. We realy missed salad selection. Basicly you can get rucola with some small toamtos and cheese. I had a rabbit and it was good but very mild in taste 8/10 price 27€ and my wife had a occtopusse 27€ and would give it 7/10. Overall it was good food and bad service.

It was okey!! Friendly staff but quite rushed service. Food was decent but not mind blowing! One of the more expensive restaurant during our visit to Valetta. My first time trying rabbit, which was very interesting! Not quite my taste, but that does not affect my review! Im very happy to have tried it! The complementary bread was quite stale unfortunately.. Overall, a decent visit with decent fold and friendly staff, but I would probably not visit this restaurant again

I didn't love it. Or like it that much. We had the Maltese special to start which was nice. It had good flavour lots of aromatics in the sausage. My partner ordered the past with chicken and cheese, which was very nice. I had the rabbit stew. Which I didn't like at all, the rabbit was dry and the sauce was over powering and restless at the same time. I'd recommend sticking with the pasta dishes. They seemed to be much better.

My wife and I visited here for a light lunch on a Friday, we wanted to experience some Maltese cuisine. Seating is outside on the pedestrian pavement, so you can watch the hustle & bustle of tourists like us go by. Service was good, we ordered swordfish tagliatelle and rabbit rigatoni, both were delicious meals and plentiful in portion. Bread and it was fresh, was complimentary to help clean the plate. My only criticism was the €8 Aperol, was weak and a light orange in colour compared to other places. Would recommend this place.

We’ve stopped by La Pira for local Maltese cuisine. The Rabbit liver was delicious - the sauce savory complimenting the tender Rabbit Liver. Never seen Rabbit Liver on the menu before - so had to try it and we’re not disappointed. Service is fast and friendly! Delicious Food!

Lovely place, great location and really nice surroundings. The food was absolutely delicious! The local rabbit and the rigatoni with rabbit were amazing, and the appetizer with local delicacies was also very tasty. The only downside was the dry bread served with the starter, it felt unnecessary. The bread served at the beginning wasn’t great either. But everything we actually ordered was truly excellent. As for the toilet, let’s just say, it’s not for everyone. 😅

We enjoyed dinner on Thursday evening, it was extraordinary experience, the flavours of the meal, especially rabbit stew, service and atmosphere brought us back next day and again we were in heaven. Don't miss the restaurant visit Valletta.
