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!!

This restaurant never disappoints. It’s my boyfriend and I’s favorite. They gave us this huge brownie sundae at the end of our meal and it was so amazing! It was a Valentine’s Day special I think.

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.
