Gusto Review - Le Luci Di Marsascala

Hadn't seen hubby for a couple of days due to busy work schedules, studying time, wedding planning and honeymoon organizing - and only a month left to the Big Day!! So we decided to go on a date! :D We looked online on the Gusto website and Le Luci Di Marsascala caught our eye for its romantic-sounding name and great reviews :)



The Location: As the name goes, it is to be found in Marsascala in the south of Malta. The restaurant is on an elevated level with the local children's playground right below it and overlooking the pretty bay. Parking on the street on weekdays is no problems and very accessible by public transport (bus stop right outside).


The Place: Small and cozy with a very posh decor - the chairs are all dressed up matching the lovely curtains, contrasting with the stone walls and metal-work light fittings :) Cutlery polished until it shone!







The Menu: Definitely different - and not on paper! Presented on a small blackboard per table with the menu written in white chalk! Really original :) You will find a couple of standard main dishes (e.g. veal rib eye) but most of the menu is inventive and unique including pork belly and cheeks! We both had a great pumpkin and oyster mushroom soup for starters which had a very particular, but interesting taste :)


The Staff: A chatty, hospitable lady gave the place a family-run feel :)


Gusto: Called 30 mins before arriving there to check if we could book a table and use our 50% discount - our table booked and Gusto accepted with no problems :D and we saved €30 off our bill :)


P's recommendation: For a romantic dinner in a beautiful decor, with staff making you feel you are part of the family, Le Luci is the place :) and the constantly changing, unique menu is a definite plus! :) And to top it off, you can get 50% off your food bill for two by getting your Gusto Card here!
