Despite the poor reviews below, we went to this restaurant on a recommendation from an acquaintance. We ended up paying a lot of money only to be disappointed with poor service and poor quality food. This restaurant even managed to provided under-cooked chips. I would certainly tell other people to keep away from this place.

Amazing! Really fresh fish, we had a set menu of bruschetta which come straight away, followed by fresh whole grilled sea bream, chips and salad, and a small loaf of maltease bread!! With red or white local wine, it was delicious and such good value, 15e for all that food !! We waited only 10 mins after finishing our starter... More

An hour and 40 minutes later, am still waiting for the food to arrive, 30 minutes ago I asked how long it would take, the waiter explained it would be 10 - 15 minutes maximum. And he never came back. After 2 hours the food came cold. Just like the service... Poor management and won't be returning!

After 1,5 hrs our children were crying because of the long wait. We also got some Bruchetta to ease the time but as we waited and waited people started to leave....not a good sign. Then we got our food which was poor. The pizza's were drenched with mozarella and the prawns were not fresh. We didn't want to wait for... More

Lunch in heaven after a visit to the busy market never disappoints. I always sit upstairs facing the view past the wrought iron balcony. Sample the salmon paupettes which are full of juicy prawns in mayonaise served with salad. As a change I sampled the stewed rabbit with memories of the same dish eaten in childhood. The restaurant is always... More

Ate here for Sunday lunch. I think the tables upstairs near the open balconies are nicer than the plastic ones outside on the pavement. Food was very good and reasonably priced, we tried the lampuka fish which was lovely, if a little fiddly to remove bones. Service was a little on the slow side but it seemed to be popular... More

very good overall, it is a little bit crowded, so I recomend not to go there if you dont have plenty of time to enjoy the food and the slow movement coming from the workers .. there is the owner to greet you at the entrance , he will hurry up his employees if you asked him to do it... More

Have been going to Carrubia for a number of years now but service has deteriorated. The food is good and reasonably priced, but the service leaves much to be desired. We were kept waiting till our order was taken and ordered the wine and water with the food but had to ask three times for it to be brought. Drinks... More

Went first time with my girlfriend to have a pizza and the food was excellent. Served within 15mins, hot and well presented. The food is well presented and of good tastes. We took mainly pizzas and pastas there and the food was always good. The atmosphere is nice, tranquil, however outside during summer its full of flies which is quite... More
