Welcome to La Buona Trattoria e Bisteccheria del Nonno
La Buona Trattoria del Nonno is a family run restaurant, with over 50 years experience in the successful running of famous catering establishments in Malta.
The restaurant represents the culinary experiences and sentiments of the owner Ben Muscat Snr, who is considered as the ‘Grandfather of Restaurants’ in Malta.
His daughter Lara and her children Jake and Kane assist ‘il Nonno’ in the smooth running of the restaurant, which was awarded The Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence in their first three years of business, 2014, 2015 and 2016. In that time they have also been awarded the much coveted plate, as one of the 40 top rated restaurants in Malta and Gozo.
Our story
After having set up several very successful restaurants in the past, including The Whisper Knightclub and Farmhouse, Ta Marija Restaurant, The Palazzo Pescatore Complex and McBenny’s Restaurant, ‘il Nonno’ came out of retirement in 2012.
His desire was to develop and present his esteemed clients, locals and tourists with his perception of a genuine Trattoria and Bisteccheria based upon his extensive experiences, hence La Buona Trattoria del Nonno was born.
There is no pre-cooking in the mind of il Nonno, as all dishes are freshly prepared.
Our Homemade Pasta
We are very proud to offer our own homemade Pasta all’uovo, with different variations accompainied with your choice of sauces. We are sure that you will love our pastas which you can purchase from us to cook at home, which we would be delighted to give you tips on how to prepare it.
Our Wooden Oven
The cuisine is based on slow oven baking in our Wood Oven, serving both mouth watering Pizzas and many slow baked specialities such as Lara’s Spare Ribs, Lamb Racks and Baby Chickens.
Clients may make arrangements with the management for parties for Suckling Pig, Fresh local Lamb and even Fenkatas.
The Bisteccheria
At La Buona Trattoria del Nonno we are famous for our BISTECCHERIA (STEAKHOUSE), with a fully fledged BBQ Charcoal grill, offering a wide selection of meat dishes.
