Tal-Familja Restaurant

Established in 1998, Tal-Familja Restaurant is a beloved family-run establishment in the heart of Marsascala, renowned for its warm hospitality and exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. Founded by the late Charles Preca, whose passion for authentic flavours and fresh local ingredients shaped the restaurant’s legacy, Tal-Familja continues to flourish under the leadership of his daughter Daniela Calleja Preca, with her sister Yana Preca heading the kitchen.

Celebrated for its impressive variety of fresh fish and shellfish, Tal-Familja is a true haven for seafood lovers — offering everything from local rockfish and lampuki to prawns, crab, oysters, and more. The menu also boasts an exceptional selection of homemade pasta dishes and a tempting range of premium meats, including Tomahawk steak, veal on the bone, Irish fillet, and duck — all prepared with passion and precision. To complete the experience, guests can indulge in the restaurant’s signature homemade desserts, such as the classic Sherry Trifle, Pistachio Fondant, and traditional Cassata — each crafted with the same love and attention to detail that have made Tal-Familja a household name for over 25 years.
