Waiters are friendly and attentive. The food is very good and the variety of different options is broad but not too crazy, so that the chef can still manage to get you your food fresh and well prepared. Ricci pasta as a starter, seasonal fish fillet a small bottle of wine and some water plus all the small stuff you... More

...which I doubt given the range of restaurants located on the harbour. One important thing to know about that place: don't get in if you are in a hurry. The service is extremely slow. It took us 1h45 min to get served parma ham and melon, and marinated octopus as a starter; a grilled swordfish and prawns... The fish was... More

Went for a lunch with my wife yesterday. I had booked a table 1 week before. On arrival a discussion in my face where to place us as if we were invisible. To get the menu I had to indicate my requirement to the owner himself. to order food same thing had to take place. Almost half the fish on... More

I eat in Ir-Rizzu twice a year. It is worth the drive from St Julians, where I usually stay when visiting Malta.

All my groups had words of praise for this restaurant...Always! We were always served the freshest fish and seafood and most of all in a very clean place. The open kitchen is something that my clients always remark. Spotless clean. the staff are a joy to be with, always with a smile.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is fresh and well presented with large portions for what you pay. I had the seafood plate which was full of local shellfish and fish and my husband had a selection plate of 3 fish. Every mouthful was delicious. Highly recommend.

Wouldn't count on first impressions becasue Ir-Rizzu does not have the best atmosphere.. But the food is excellent and the service is great here! A table of 8, and we all enjoyed the quality of fish that we were served! Fresh food complemented with very friendly staff... I highly recommend!

We had a wedding anniversary celebration, consisting of 14 adults and 6 children. All our dishes were cooked to perfection and the staff was very attentive and did a great job. The owner is always present and he makes you feel like part of the family.
