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.

“(Translated by Google) Delicious pasta. We had the pesto, spicy, and carbonara. My younger daughter ate the pasta plain. The pasta was homemade. There were several types to choose from. Large portions at a decent price. We'll definitely be back when we're hungry. (Original) Przepyszna pasta. Wzięliśmy z pesto, na ostro oraz carbonara. Młodsza córka zjadła makaron bez dodataków. Makaron własnego wyrobu. Do wyboru kilka rodzajów makaronu. Porcje duże za przyzwoitą cenę. Na pewno tam wrócimy gdy zgłodniejemy.”
“(Translated by Google) The restaurant is located in the center of Valletta, near the Grand Master's Palace. They offer a wide selection of sauces and homemade pasta. The pasta with Norma and Pesto Siciliano sauces was tasty, but nothing special. Friendly service and good prices. (Original) Lokal jest położony w centrum Valletty, w pobliżu Pałacu Wielkich Mistrzów. Duży wybór sosów i domowego makaronu. Zamówione makarony z sosami Norma i Pesto Siciliano smaczne, ale bez jakichś uniesień. Miła obsługa i dobre ceny.”

“Good service and fresh pasta! We came here 3 times, the pasta may take a while (consider this if you come very hungry!) but for this quality it is worth it. I highly recommend the arrabiata! The pasta with Salmonette is also quite good. Today we tried norma (see picture) - did not disappoint :)”
“(Translated by Google) Very interesting concept of the restaurant. I appreciate the homemade pasta and especially the selection, where you can choose according to your preferences. The wait for the food was a little longer, but nothing terrible. The restaurant was full and the pasta was worth it and delicious! We ate it so fast that we didn't have time to take a picture😁 (Original) Velmi zajímavý koncept podniku. Oceňuji domácí těstoviny a zejména jejich výběr, kdy si můžete vybrat dle svých preferencí. Na jídlo se malinko déle čekalo, ale nic hrozného. Podnik byl plný a těstoviny stály za to a byly výborné! Snědli jsme je tak rychle, že jsme je nestihli vyfotit😁”
