Pastaus brings the theatre of fresh pasta to the heart of Valletta — authentic Italian craft, Mediterranean ingredients and a buzzy, informal table.
Great pasta starts with craft: dough worked by hand, shapes chosen for the sauce, and recipes that respect where they come from.
The experience stays relaxed. Come for a quick plate, a long dinner, a celebration or simply because fresh pasta sounds like the right answer.

Make the handmade process part of the experience — flour, dough, shape, sauce, plate.

“(Translated by Google) I really liked Pastause; it has a friendly atmosphere, good prices, and a wide variety of dishes. I tried the four-cheese pasta with almond sauce, and it was delicious. I also really appreciated the service; I have difficulty speaking English, so Marcelo, one of the waiters, helped me communicate. (Original) Me gustó mucho pastause, tiene un ambiente amigable, buenos precios y variedad. Probé la pasta 4 quesos con salsa de almedra, fue delicioso, además valoro mucho la atención, se me dificulta hablar en inglés así que Marcelo, uno de los meseros me ayudó a comunicarme.”
“Freshly made pasta with a great sauce - I recently visited Pastaus on a family trip to Malta and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I appreciate the range of options in terms of both pasta types and sauces available.”
“(Translated by Google) If it were legal, I'd kiss the chef for what I had on my plate. Phenomenal. The visit is enhanced by the ability to choose the type of pasta you want to serve with your dish. Fairly priced. Nothing to add, nothing to subtract. (Original) Gdyby to było legalne, ucalowalbym kucharza za to co miałem na talerzu. Fenomenalne. Wizytę urozmaica możliwość wyboru rodzaju makaronu z jakim chcemy zjeść nasze danie. Cenowo uczciwie. Nic dodać nic ująć.”
“Very nice place with one of them best pasta I've ever eaten. Simply but tasty as hell. Not very quick- it is not fast street food. Bruschetta was very good as well. You can pick the one type pasta from couple and then choose the souse - it was a big fun for kids. You can choose the small or big portion. Ideal for late lunch or supper.”
