Business Overview

Da Mattia Pizzeria e Trattoria brings the warmth of an Italian household to the heart of Malta. From the moment you step through our doors the aroma of slow-simmered Soup, freshly stretched Pizza dough and sizzling Seafood tells you this is a kitchen that cooks with passion. We are an Italian Restaurant that honours family recipes yet welcomes modern tastes, making us a favourite spot for Lunch, Dinner or a quick Snack on your way to the beach.

Our A La Carte menu reads like a tour of Italy's most loved comfort foods. Start with an Appetizer of focaccia topped with tomatoes bursting with Maltese sun or choose a colourful Salad dressed with extra-virgin olive oil. If you want something hearty before the main event, our creamy Fish chowder and rich Meat soup win loyal fans daily.

When it is time for mains our chefs fire up the wood oven for traditional Read MorePizza, layering San Marzano sauce, Fior di Latte and market vegetables on a thin base that bubbles and chars at the edges. Classic Margherita, fiery Diavola and Seafood-loaded Frutti di Mare all appear alongside gourmet creations like our Truffle Burger – proof that even Fast Food is elevated in a true Trattoria.

Pasta arrives al dente, twirled high and glossed with sauces that are simmered each morning. From carbonara prepared the Roman way to slow-braised beef ragù, every forkful tells a story from a different Italian region. Fans of lighter plates turn to lemon-zested Fish fillets, crispy calamari and grilled Kebab skewers served with garden herbs, while Meat lovers celebrate a choice of char-grilled steaks and herb-rubbed poultry. Our kitchen is also Crepe crazy: you can order savoury crepes stuffed with spinach and cheese or sweet versions dripping with Nutella and hazelnuts.

Speaking of Dessert, save room. Golden cannoli, creamy tiramisu and molten chocolate cakes leave both children and adults grinning. If you prefer to finish on a fresh note, our fruit Salad with local honey is the perfect sunset treat in the Open air Seating area.

Families love Da Mattia because the dining room is Kid Friendly without sacrificing style. Large Group celebrations are welcome and our team can create set menus that move from Appetizer to Dessert with perfect pacing. Sports fans are equally at home: Live Football shown on discreet screens means you never miss a goal while enjoying authentic Italian flavour.

All ingredients are sourced daily from Maltese fishermen and farmers where possible, with premium Italian imports used to protect authenticity. That commitment to freshness means every plate – whether Salad, Seafood, Burger, Pasta or Kebab – bursts with colour and real taste.

Located just minutes from the waterfront, Da Mattia Pizzeria e Trattoria is easy to reach and even easier to love. Indoor comfort blends with a breezy terrace, giving you the freedom to dine the way you feel: a quick Fast Food style slice, a lingering Meat feast, or a multi-course celebration that stretches into the night. Book your table online or walk in, breathe in the smell of baking Pizza, and discover why locals and travellers alike call us their go-to Trattoria and Italian Restaurant in Malta.
