La Sfoglia is owned and run by three brothers. I ate at their original cafe years ago and it was good, Now, they have a great restaurant across from the Palace in Valletta.
I asked for and received Mediterranean mussels in a tomato sauce on top of fettuccine.
Yummy. And, I never had limoncello from Gozo. Free, on the house.
Last year I recommended Rampila, and this year I can recommend La Sfoglia, which means a type of pastry. A dear friend of mine took me to Rampila twice last October-excellent place, one of the best.
I only eat out once or twice a week to get hot healthy, sustaining food, as I practically eat nothing during the week but cheese, croissants and bananas. I am on a strict, very strict budget. I only have a bar fridge and no freezer where I am and food goes off quickly in Malta. I have to pay for electricity and boy, it is expensive here to cook in for one person. Sometimes, I go wild and buy olives when I can afford them.
But, a dinner out makes me eat more and well. And, if the restaurant is a happy place to be with wifi...what can I say?
This was a treat today.
P.S. I usually hate dinner rolls, but today's were top-drawer, mixed wheat with various seeds on top and fresh.
