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.
