Sixth leaf
Telgha tà Alla u Ommu, Naxxar | +3567703 8399
The tastes of each and every dish are well balanced and the menu is thought-out well and extremely original. The restaurant caters for vegans and vegetarians and does not offer the standard risotto or Parmeggiana as a Veggie option. Without a doubt, this restaurant is highly recommended.
