This modern eatery in Marsaxlokk may not have harbourfront tables like other nearby establishments, but that means it works harder on service and in the kitchen. Menu highlights include just maybe Malta's best calamari fritti (fried calamari), and delicate seafood pasta dishes like panzerotti stuffed with prawns and scallops. Check the blackboard menu for specials showcasing the freshest seafood.
