L’Ancora

L’Ancora in Valletta is the ideal escape for a delicious meal with the most attentive service. Situated in the Domus Zamittello Boutique Hotel, this casual dining location brings attention to detail, a focus on professional hospitality and a passion to serve excited patrons. The interior seating area is charming and welcoming, with a stocked bar featuring in-house cocktails, mocktails and a broad wine list featuring the powerful and elegant Primitivo Di Manduria. The outdoor area is characteristically Valletta, with The Royal Theatre as your backdrop, sit back, relax and wait for the culinary show to start.

The menu is thoughtful and seasonal offering fresh and local options throughout the year. Owner Justin focuses heavily on keeping guests happy while dining at L’Ancora – his influence in the kitchen orchestrates the tune of every dish and the overall energy of the restaurant. Prime Wagyu cuts or in-house whiskey-aged meats can always be expected here, accompanied by fragrant starters of prawn carpaccio or hearty bone marrow risotto. The kitchen technique here is promising, using prize ingredients paired with intuitive technique and a focus on the full picture. From the in-house breadsticks to the chocolate orange mousse, L’Ancora will deliver.
