We need to talk about a Mediterranean must-have today, ladies and gentlemen – pasta, in all its divine forms. From the humble spaghetti to flamboyant fusilli, sumptuous pappardelle, and beyond – it is a truth universally acknowledged that most Maltese people just can’t live without good pasta on hand to satisfy their carb cravings. If you’re looking for the perfect place to get your next pasta fix, then here are a few of our favourite places to help get you started.
