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.

“the pasta is fresh and absolutely amazing”
“Marcelo was an absolute legend! From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome with his great energy, big smile, and amazing sense of humor. He somehow managed to be funny, professional, and incredibly attentive all at the same time. You can really tell he knows the menu inside out and genuinely enjoys helping people have a great time. His recommendations were spot on, and he made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you visit Pastaus, do yourself a favor and hope Marcelo is your waiter. He deserves all the praise – thanks for making our meal so much fun. We’ll definitely be back!”
