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.
Historic Valletta outside. Buzzy, informal hospitality inside. A restaurant with a real sense of place.
Wine, pasta and the kind of meal that becomes longer than planned.
Birthdays, corporate dinners, celebrations and group dining — with tailored menus and a setting that feels social rather than formal.

“(Translated by Google) Delicious bruschetta and fresh pasta. Excellent service. (Original) Brucchettas y pasta fresca riquísima. Atención muy buena”
“The pasta was absolutely delicious with the kindest service.”
“(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.”
“(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😁”
“(Translated by Google) Not recommended if you're short on time. The overall experience was very good, and the pasta was of acceptable quality. Prices are about 20% more expensive than nearby places. We ordered a pasta dish each and had to wait 50 minutes. The staff's service was excellent; I think that's the only redeeming quality. I'm giving it five stars because the dishes were relatively inexpensive, and we weren't in a hurry. I think it's a place with potential, but there's room to improve the quality of the food or the prices. And above all, it doesn't make sense to have to wait 50 minutes for a dish that takes less than five minutes to prepare. I don't know if I would return. (Original) No recomendable si vas con poco tiempo. La experiencia en general estuvo muy bien, y la pasta de calidad aceptable. Los precios son un 20 % más caros que los lugares cercanos. Pedimos un plato de pasta para cada uno y tuvimos que esperar 50 minutos La atención del personal fue excelente, creo que lo único rescatable Pongo cinco estrellas porque fueron platos relativamente debajo precio, y no estábamos apurados. Creo que es un lugar con potencial, pero con lugar a mejorar la calidad de su comida o los precios. Y sobre todo no tiene sentido tener que esperar 50 minutos por un plato que no tarda ni cinco minutos en prepararse. No sé si volvería.”
“(Translated by Google) Very good pasta, I recommend it!! (Original) Bardzo dobry makaron, polecam!!”
