Rubino on Postcard

"This sweet little bistro started life in 1906 as a confectionery shop, serving, among other things, cassata Siciliana – which it still offers today. Sit in one of three cosy, traditional rooms and receive hands-on service from the owner. The blackboard menu lists classic Maltese and Italian dishes." - Michelin Inspector

Phenomenal food and service. The owner explained every item on the menu carefully and every staff was lovely. The restaurant can get very busy; thus reservation is essential. Definitely deserve the Michelin Guide recommendation.

I can't say enough about this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. The warm, family vibe is truly something special, and it creates the perfect atmosphere for a memorable meal. The staff are incredibly welcoming and treat you like one of their own. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, the food is absolutely fantastic! You can taste the love and care in every dish. Whether you're looking for a cozy night out or just a place to feel at home, this restaurant has it all. I’ve fallen in love not only with the food but with the amazing people behind it. Highly recommend! The cheesecake is a must must must try ✨✨✨

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.

Everything is excellent—the service, the atmosphere, and the dishes. It's a 5 out of 5. From the very beginning, it becomes clear that this is an extraordinary place. The staff thoroughly explained the evening menu, recommended wine, and continuously checked if everything was fine. The dishes are very delicious. This is definitely a recommendation!

Best meal we had in Malta! Definitely recommend the burrata cheese with cured fish and the Grilled calamari. So fresh!! And if they have white chocolate cheesecake on the menu, GO FOR IT. it was so good that we went back the next day for it but there was no seat and they wouldn't let us take away (doggie bag it). Please make reservation.
