• 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!

Excellent food and service apart from one server who was a little terse. Ambience was good considering this is basically an outside venue which is covered during the winter months. Very good seafood and some other dishes if fish is not your thing. Expensive but worth it. Try the Friti Misto; it's delicious.

It was perfect …. Food, service and place. Just a little loud with the kids playing football but nothing serious. We also enjoyed the complimentary Prosecco as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.
