Ta’ Stringi Restaurant

Ta’ Stringi offers a charming dining experience in the covered courtyard of a 450-year-old palazzo close to the parish church of Naxxar. Its impressive double-height ceiling and attractive stone finish create a spacious, welcoming setting, complemented by the warm hospitality of its Maltese family owners, who have been running the restaurant for 17 years. Beneath the restaurant, a beautiful, vaulted stone cellar provides a distinctive and intimate venue for private functions and celebrations. The name Ta’ Stringi derives from stringjatur, the Maltese nickname for the original restaurant owner who used to press grapes to make wine. With its inviting atmosphere and personal touches, Ta’ Stringi is a lovely choice for a memorable meal or special occasion.  

Ta’ Stringi impresses with an extensive menu that caters particularly well to gluten-free diners, without compromising on flavour or creativity. Begin with smoked salmon parcels filled with cocktail prawns, before moving on to traditional Maltese bragioli—tender beef olives stuffed with a savoury mixture of minced beef and pork. Alternatively, indulge in delectable gnocchi drenched in a creamy sauce and topped with mozzarella di bufala, mortadella, cherry tomatoes and fresh rucola. For a sweet finale, choose the beautifully presented profiteroles or a comforting individual apple crumble, freshly baked in its own dish. Complete the experience with a shot of the chef’s homemade cherry wine, crafted from fresh Sicilian cherries.
