Gusto Review - Ristorante Don Fauzza

Last week, hubby and I decided to meet up with my sister, her fiance and their lovely 9 month old son for dinner on a Friday evening. As I usually do to find a good eatery, I logged on to the Gusto website and the choice fell to Ristorante Don Fauzza in Marsascala :)

The Location: In one of Marsascala's main streets, it is very easy to find :) When driving down to Marsascala from Zabbar, pass the playground on the left, go through the traffic lights and straight up the hill. Don Fauzza is found around 100m up the hill on the right side of the road. Parking on the street on weekdays not a problem. In summer and on weekends, some driving around will get you a parking spot in one of the side streets :)

The Place: We stayed on the terrace and the decor was a good combination of relaxed and stylish :) We really appreciated the wall fan on a balmy Maltese summer evening :)


The Menu: Firstly I really must compliment the on-the-house appetizers.. the soup, bread and dip were fabulous! For starters, we had the fried cheeselets and the ravioli with lobster - both dishes were mouth-watering :) Regarding mains, we had meats and were extremely satisfied with the cuts and the preparation :) The waitress kindly offered a selection of desserts for the group at a very reasonable price which included Maltese "imqaret", creme caramel and an ice-cream cake! We did not regret that choice one bit! I must say that despite the huge portions, the quality was in no way compromised and we had a great meal :)

The Staff: Helpful and courteous, and we appreciated the special attention given to our little one including the high chair and the picking up of the scattered numerous bits of bread!! :)

Gusto: We called in advance to book our table which was ready, baby chair and all, at our arrival :) They offered 50% discount on two of our starters and main courses (as we only had 1 Gusto book with us) making a good value dinner even better! We saved €27 off our total food bill :)

P's recommendation: For fantastically cooked food and really large portions, go to Don Fauzza if you are in the south of Malta.. actually, even if you're in the North.. it's really worth the drive!! :) And you can get 50% off your food bill for two by getting your Gusto Card here :D
