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.
Discover our story →Part of the joy is choosing. Different shapes hold sauce differently, changing texture, bite and the whole plate.
Make the handmade process part of the experience — flour, dough, shape, sauce, plate.

“More than 5 stars if I could! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ The food was unbelievably delicious. I can genuinely say this was the best pasta I've ever eaten in my life—and I've tried pasta in many places. I ordered the pasta with their special seafood sauce with calamari and octopus, and it was absolutely incredible: fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. Definitely one of the highlights of my time in Malta. If you're in Malta and love pasta, this place is an absolute must. I would come back without hesitation!”
