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.

“goooood”
“(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. (Original) Me gustó mucho pastause, tiene un ambiente amigable, buenos precios y variedad. Probé la pasta 4 quesos con salsa de almedra, fue delicioso, además valoro mucho la atención, se me dificulta hablar en inglés así que Marcelo, uno de los meseros me ayudó a comunicarme.”
“(Translated by Google) The food was delicious, the waiters were lovely, and they spoke Spanish, which was a huge help. It was very busy, which is probably for a reason. And the prices were incredibly cheap! I was delighted to eat there. (Original) La comida está buenísima, los camareros fueron encantadores, hablaban español por lo que nos ayudó muchísimo. Había mucha gente, como digo yo por algo será. Y los precios baratísimos ! Encantada de comer ahí”
“(Translated by Google) Delicious pasta with truffles! The atmosphere, the place is great, and the waiter, Marcel, was very friendly! (Original) Przepyszny makaron z truflami! Atmosfera, lokal świetny, a kelner Marcel bardzo sympatyczny!”
“Great service!!! Marcello is very friendly”
“(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) Delicious bruschetta and fresh pasta. Excellent service. (Original) Brucchettas y pasta fresca riquísima. Atención muy buena”
“I've been to this place a few times, tried various pastas and sauces, and washed them down with different beers. I can honestly say that they serve some of the best pasta I've ever had in my life. And I've eaten my fair share of pasta in my life! :D It's worth popping in and trying anything from their menu. Especially since the prices are relatively reasonable considering the location and the area. Highly recommended!”
“(Translated by Google) Amazing food and service, highly recommended (Original) Comida y servicio brutal, recomendadisimo”
“(Translated by Google) Very tasty (Original) Muy rico”
“Marcelo is the best!”
