• Mediterranean • Mellieha

We’re not reinventing the wheel, but we are paying tribute to it by putting our personality and ethos of fresh, quality ingredients in every single dish... In the simplest terms, what can be said about us is that we’re a Mediterranean restaurant located in Mellieha. We’re not sure that’s coincidence so much as it is fate! Mellieha’s name derives from the Arabic word for salt - a cornerstone of any dining experience, and any chef’s favourite seasoning. This, coupled with Mellieha’s rich and resonant history, makes it the perfect home for our restaurant - perhaps even on par with Italy! Specialising in Mediterranean cuisine doesn’t mean we’re one-dimensional. We happily offer the whole spectrum of good dining, which we can pair with a vast array of the best wines and other beverages. Our dining operation at Tosca Restaurant is headed by our chef - Jean Paul!

Very good food and very good customer service: I was impressed with how the waiters waited on us. The food was very tasty and very good value for money. I do recommend Radici to anyone who want to have a taste of Italian cuisine while in Valletta: not to be missed!!

We couldn't get into the restaurant we had wanted as it was closed for refurbishment, so The Taproom was a last minute decision - but what a great one it was! Fantastic food, unintrusive and efficient service, and a very pleasant ambience. Definitely one of the best meals we had in Valletta whilst on holiday.
