TOP ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN MALTA | CIBO

Finally we have arrived in Malta!

If you've been keeping up with my Instagram stories you would have seen that I have been indulging in some delicious cuisine here in Malta.

Our first stop was at Cibo, an Italian restaurant like no other! Located in the heart of Sliema, we were warmly welcomed by Jean Paul Testa, managing director of Cibo and Testa Catering Concepts Co Ltd.

For our first course, head chef, Daniele D'Apice, served us an amazing salmon risotto. I haven't always been a fan of risotto but I have to admit this salmon risotto was absolutely outstanding. The salmon was not over cooked and served medium rare (which I absolutely love), combined with the rich flavours of caviar, chili and crusted Parmesan cheese.

Paired with an Italian Chardonnay wine, Principato, this dish was nothing but divine and the risotto complimented the salmon so well.

For our second course, we enjoyed a casual pizza. Traditional Italian pizza is honestly my favorite and there is no doubt about it that Cibo has perfected the art of making authentic Italian pizzas! The pizza base was made with the unique Cibo dough and topped with the freshest ingredients. Once again paired with the wonderful Italian Principato, Chardonnay.

Although, we had the option of enjoying a third course, the famous Cibo ribs, which comes highly recommended, we could not squeeze it in!

In saying so, there is always space for dessert right?

For dessert we popped across the road to French Affaire, the sister Cafe of Cibo, where we enjoyed iced coffee and some decadent cakes. Ordering a mille-feuille, a lemon cheese cake and a caramel and pistachio Mille-feuille, we really enjoyed over-indulging in these fresh and delicious cakes.

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed this experience and highly recommend Cibo as part of your dining experience when visiting Malta.
