Pastizzi Cafe - North King Street

What an amazing place for lunch. Service was fantastic, staff were amazing and price was great. The food ... was unbelievable. Pastizzis of all kinds of flavour combinations.. amazing 👌.. the Arancini... amazing 👌... the coffee.. some of the best i have ever had. Value and service for money and no complaints about their food. Go and try their beef and dark ale pastizzi.. you wont regret it!! Their ravoli... was as good as my Maltese mother in laws 🥰

First time exploring Newtown King Street today—just walking along and taking in the mix of shops and little food spots. I made it a point to find Pastizzi Cafe, which I’d starred on Google Maps years ago (can’t even remember how I first came across it). I was expecting more sweet pastries (instead of savory) since I didn’t really know what “pastizzi” was 😅. It’s a Maltese pastry. It turned out to be such a pleasant surprise for a first visit. The staff (possibly the owner) kindly offered us a free chicken and mushroom pastizzi to try, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It was really good, but we skipped buying since we already had lunch plans. I did take home a slice of lemon flan, and it ended up being the highlight—so good.

Enjoy Maltese food! You don't get this just anywhere! Malta is famous for pastizzi, hence the cafe's name. They're filled pastries that come in both savory and sweet. Most of the other dishes are ones you'd be familiar with in Italian restaurants. This place is reasonably priced, service was a bit chaotic but got there in the end. It felt authentically Mediterranean 😂 🍸 Great and creative cocktails

Looking for dinner before a show at The Vanguard, we found this absolute treasure of a restaurant. The welcome of smiles from the staff and a brief look at the menu and, seconds later, we were eagerly awaiting a special selection of Maltese/Italian food. Wow! This is a super place to eat. The pastizzi were simply delicious! The calamari melted in your mouth and the lasagne absolutely luscious! My daughter finished every crouton of a sumptuous caesar salad. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was memorable. The bill was a pleasant surprise, fantastic value for a delicious meal. On the way out we noticed the Italian cakes and just had to buy a selection! If you are in King Street, Newtown, Pastizzi Cafe is a must visit- we LOVED it!

So delicious, so delicious, so delicious! The three of us ordered creamy bacon pasta, pesto penne, and tomato ravioli. Every dish had really rich flavor — our taste buds were completely satisfied. The portions were also very generous, and we all felt very full after the meal. The only thing I would say is that the garlic bread was quite average. Also… the staff with earrings were really handsome! Haha 😄 Definitely recommend this place!
