Riviera della Marina | Straight out of the sea
Fresh ingredients are the number one priority at Riviera della Marina. Mediterranean cuisine with a slant towards Italian dishes calls for the freshest ingredients with little interference from over-ambitious chefs.

Specialising in fresh fish, pasta and shellfish dishes, sourcing of local ingredients is paramount. Azzopardi Fisheries provide the restaurant with the best fish on the market, while vegetables including pumpkins, marrows and potatoes are grown by the owner of the restaurant, Michael Micallef himself, and other vegetable needs are met at the local markets.
Specialities include the home-made pasta which changes according to ingredients available – and nothing beats the combination of fresh pasta with fresh fish. Try the home-made ravioli with fresh grouper and Maltese prawns for the ultimate treat, or ask for their recommendation for the freshest dishes available.
Enjoy these fantastic dishes in a stunning setting steeped in history. The ancient fortifications are offset by the new luxury yachts berthed a stone’s throw from the restaurant. Whether dining in summer or winter, Riviera della Marina has it covered. A fantastic outdoor area keeps diners close to the sea breeze in the summer, while the huge archways provide shelter during the winter months. Enjoy the intimacy of the dining room, with its rustic restoration and candlelight atmosphere.
The combination of great local food, warm and friendly service and reasonable prices keep Riveria della Marina a quality choice when dining out this summer.
Riviera della Marina is open daily from 12:00 till 15:00 for lunch and from 19:00 till 23:00 for dinner.
