Perfect place!
by EY33EY
The inside is beautiful - very rustic, with cool industrial touches. Seating is at the bar or high tables along the windows. The wine menu arrived tied to a giant wine bottle. As you can guess, the selection is all Italian. Our servers were wonderful too - just as friendly and welcoming as Patrick, and quick to bring water or clear an empty plate.
Highly Recommended Love the Pasta
by muzzyg
For starters this place has the best Maltese Pizza I have ever had nice and crispy. Came in from Detriot and checked the web for Maltese Cusine and this is the only restaurant in the city, they also have american Italian which is great as well. We ate 4 courses just to try these dishes out . The home made italian pasta was perfect capers onions just great. The home made Veggie maltese eggplant was just del....... The desserts where perfect the service friendly . Def a place to try will recommend all my friends and spread the word.
- Pros: Pastas
Only Fantastic Italian/ MALTESE Restaurant in Soho/ little italy
by paulinem
The food at this establishment is like no other. Came here for dinner on a rainy night .The surrounding brick walls and small little place is what I loved about it . The food was a whole nother thing. The pastizi the crust and the cheese just melted on your toung. The Pasta with shrimp was just something out of this world . You can tell the cheff puts time into his food. The service was great very friendly . They also had homemade sangria you have to try this stuff. Most of there stuff is home made and Organic reasonable prices as well. I def will come back again and tell my friends.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: none
Real Home Made Pasta's Here.
by DXter
My friend recommended this place to me , and she was def rite. The Savory Maltese Pizza with capers
onions tomato's was the best pizza I ever had. The double cut pork chop was huge and juicy. We shared
a pasta dish and you can tell this stuff is home made . The service just as good. Nice little enjoyable
restaurant that serves real savory dishes . The sangria is the best I have ever had. Must try it out.
- Pros: Food Service
- Cons: None

i'm eating there very often,food is great!!!!! service awesome,u feel like u r at home! very domestic,friendly enviroment!!!!!!! by the way, they didn't have octopus that day,cuz s i said i'm eatig there often,so i can tell it.so pls stelabologni50,when u writing funny reviews,make sure that u used facts,not your imagination,(thank u in advance:)),cuz it's time waste,for people to read somth like that. i'm glad that i found that place,because it's very hard to satisfy me in food. in that restaurant i can eat everything,non stop,check it out and u will see.
get over it, because i love the food

I must say by reading the reviews (especially the last one) I'm shocked that someone can stoop so low as to write a bad review based on a past friendship.. Give it up. The restaurant has heart and definitly has the potential to make it really big. The fact is the food is really good and prices are reasonable. I actually had the opportunity to eat there 2 times and count me in for a 3rd. The best part about the food is the homemade sauce and fresh pasta. You can taste the difference. I'm one happy customer!!!:)
- Cons: the weekend can be busy
MMMMMM!
by Bennerific
Went Last Saturday and had a great experience.
Granted we Waited awhile for our food...which is expected on a busy saturday everything was fantastic.
We had the grilled Octopus which was quite savory, the pomegrante insalata...the best salad ever!!!
my girl literally licked the plate (it had pomegranate molasses that was soooo frickin tasty)
and for entrees the 3 cheese ravioli and the stuffed Eggplant...awesome!
def expect a wait on the weekend tho...that was the only flaw!
- Pros: Foooooood!
- Cons: The wait
Great Italian food interesting Maltese Dishes
by tiff777
Its been a while since ive been to this little restaurant the food was always good ,and I wanted to see what
these Maltese dishes where about and again flawless great food. I don't understand what that last review was
about prob mistaken themselves and not use to real good food. So I had the Rabbit stew and the taste savory sauces great.. I shared the Fish of the day with my husband and that too was excellent . I def recommend this place ,I will be back and tell friends Try there 3 cheese def a dish worth while , and the service could not of been better .
