Rubino

Favourite meal of recent holiday to Valletta. Many great looking Maltese or Italian dishes with local twist. Very good value even when we picked the expensive prawn for one of our mains. Attentive service and really enjoyable atmosphere. The veal milanese was exceptional.

Absolutely incredible experience. We came last minute as a group of 7 for lunch, they sat us downstairs in the cellar. Really cool vibe and a nice reprieve from the heat outside. Kevin served us and recommended the rabbit for all of us. It was absolutely phenomenal. Other highlights were the fried goat cheese and the calamari. Very reasonably priced and one of the best meals I’ve had. 10/10 would recommend

Friday dinner at Rubino in Valletta and it didn’t disappoint. We started with the mushrooms — simple and tasty. OX tongue and the rabbit stew were the main course. Both were tender, rich, and full of flavor. Cozy spot with friendly service. Worth a visit if you want to try well-made local Maltese dishes.

Such a lovely atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff. I wish I had asked our server’s name as he was so helpful and kind. He recommended a lovely Maltese wine and made sure that I could find something to eat on the menu. My boyfriend really wanted to try this restaurant and I wasn’t sure what vegan options they’d have but the chef came out and personally explained what he could do for me. The dish was absolutely delicious. Would recommend.

We came as a highly rated recommendation from a friend and this truly surpassed our expectations. Kevin and Conrad were also super friendly! The risotto made sure that we have to find ourselves back in Malta very soon.

A superb dining experience in a quirky restaurant. The restaurant is in what was a confectionery shop, there are 3 levels, menus are on blackboards and each item is explained to you so you can make your choice. There are a lot of Maltese dishes on the menu. The bread and water biscuits are accompanied by hummus and ricotta. Portions are generous and mains come with chips and a selection of vegetables. All the food was excellent with great tastes. The 2 front of house staff were great although busy would make time to ensure everything was OK. This would be our first port of call if we ever get back to Malta.

We had very high expectations of this place as everyone was recommending it and also because of being mentioned in the Michelin guide. If it wasn’t for all the hype, it would’ve probably been a 4 star meal, but in the given circumstances can only offer 3. We had a table at the lowest level and our waiter really pushed our chairs in the corner saying there’s not much room for him to walk by, totally understandable however he could’ve been more polite. Food was good but not excellent, the best part was the rabbit and the side of roasted potatoes and vegetables.

Wow. When we come back to Malta I book a table here again. Great, knowledgeable friendly service with a smile. the people here clearly love what they do. I had spaghetti with bottarga and lemon followed by the best calamari I’ve ever had, hubby had paccheri with Maltese sausage and nudja followed by sea bass involtini. It was all amazing. Great flavour. Perfectly cooked pasta I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone.
