Il Pirata Senglea
The hugely popular Il-Pirata, Senglea in Senglea, commanding a portion of the promenade for al fresco dining with fantastic views of the Three Cities and marina. With a clean modern café-style appeal, a well- stocked bar and international wine list, Il-Pirata, Senglea maintains its brand’s reputation by offering an excellent selection of Italian fresh pasta, pizza, prime meat cuts, mixed fish and an array of exciting daily specials, paired with an exceptional dining experience.
Being very Italian in essence, a starter of Burrata Caprese is typical. Or try the USDA Mini Burgers Mignon — with mature cheddar & sriracha mayo — or the Impepata di Cozze. The Duo di Pollo, featuring chicken breast supreme, two chicken croquettes, mashed potato and mushrooms is a total winner. The Lunguine Gamberi with prawn bisque, soft herbs and tomato sauce is a winner, as are the authentic varieties of Neapolitan pizza and pasta. The authentic Risotto Funghi Porcini is delightful, while the pizza carbonara from the special pizza section is a twist on its namesake from the pasta section. The Fritto Misto with fried prawns and calamari headlines the fish dishes, and with a selection of healthy crispy salads, there is something for everyone. Desserts change regularly but may include the apple crumble, imqaret with ice cream, and crispy cannoli.
