    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.

    We had an absolutely incredible Valentine’s Day dinner at Paranga. The pasta carbonara was rich and perfectly balanced, while the vegan steak was a delightful surprise, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The red and blue roses added such a romantic touch, making the evening feel extra special. Service was outstanding, attentive yet not overbearing, and the food was truly some of the best we’ve ever had. A perfect experience from start to finish, highly recommend!

    We liked our dinner that we ate but found the overall experience a bit disappointing. The food was very tasty but the service was a bit slow at times. The value for money was not that good. We found the restaurant a bit chilly although there were gas heaters provided.

    The food was incredibly delicious! And the service was amazing, the staff were super friendly, kind and thoughtful. Huge thanks for the hospitality and lovely service. Thank you for the beautifully decorated table that added to the festive spirit. I will definitely come back to this restaurant when I return to Malta in September.
