We had an enjoyable meal here. I had the crab and lobster ravioli and my OH had the seafood pasta. Both were good, but not exceptional. However, the staff were exceptional - helpful, polite and friendly. Our waiter (sorry I didn’t take his name but a very friendly Serbian guy) made it a very good experience overall. Decent value. Thanks

I've been here with my boyfriend for dinner and we loved it! We had fish soup and carpaccio as starters and were divine. Followed by beef fillet and rib eye, oh my God never had such a tasty and tender meat!! Attentive and smiling service. Wide variety of desserts, Papannis cake just amazing! We will come back for sure to try their home made pasta, better if you book in advance. Best and lovely dinner in Malta!

Papannis is located in valletta in a very old area of the city. The building itself dates back to about 400 years and was built at the time of the knights of St John. The minute we set foot in this restaurant, we were greeted by one of the staff and shown to our table. We ordered the house specialty. We had to wait a little for our food because the food was not precooked. However, the short wait was worth it because the food was superb. The food was good, the ambiance was good and the service excellent. We will definitely go back again.

After reading so many positive reviews we were keen to try. We booked a table for 6 30 via Facebook messenger at 5 30 so we had no worry about not getting in. The place was definitely popular and the staff became very busy! The atmosphere was lovely and we enjoyed very tasty home cooked Italian food. The staff were friendly and keen to help. We were given complimentary bread, crackers with dip and limoncello with no cover charge. We enjoyed local wine, pasta dishes and deserts for €50 for 2, excellent value.

On the look for the chance to experience some authentic maltesian food on our last evenig in Valetta, we stepped over the Papannis - not expecting that the stay here would even level up our happiness experienced in this country. Warmly welcomed by the staff we walked inside the restaurant, down in a neat and classy room where we were overwhelmed by excellent and symphatic service. From food to atmosphere, everything was just perfect and made us leaving the restaurant with a well satisfied feeling and a bright smile on our faces, thinking about when we come back the next time.

Booked to go here well in advance of our trip by Facebook.. I asked for the downstairs as I heard this was the better option. I was advised downstairs would not be open. We booked for 7pm on Friday 7th Feb. We arrived to find they hadn't noted our booking. They placed us in a table i wasnt keen on. And later found that the downstairs was open. I was disappointed. But then we ordered our food and ended up in taste bud heaven along with my fiancee. We ordered a fish soup to start along with a fried cheese and honey starter. Both of these dishes were devine. 2 of the tastiest dishes we have had. Then a chicken main and a crab and lobster main. So tasty, the food here is amazing and more than made up for our earlier disappointment. The service was great. We really enjoyed our meal and we actually had the best seat in the restaurant as we watched the chef work tirelessly. We could see in the kitchen that a lot if live and care went into each and every meal. Thank you papannis for an enjoyable night.

Booked this great place due to highly positive reviews. Visited on the 3rd Jan, our last night, as was difficult to book on previous days. Beautiful intimate surroundings, lovely attentive staff and the food outstanding. As vegetarians we were very well catered for. We had a starter each, accompanied by wonderful wine, followed by a ricotta and pistachio filled ravioli in a beautiful cheese sauce. My husband had the super popular - stuffed ravioli smothered in a beautiful balsamic and caramelized onion sauce. We were blown away! We reckoned it was the best pasta we'd ever had, and as frequently travellers to Italy, take our word! We had a beautiful light pannacotta to finish off, which just added to our intimate final evening in Valletta. Do not miss this out on this place. Make a reservation to avoid disappointment and just go!

The restaurant has a nice feel and you feel welcome from the beginning. The food is fresh and homely. Beware - Big portions. Glad we shared the starter. Nearly didn't have any room for dessert.

We went to eat here on New Years Eve. We sat down at 8 pm and despite there being a demand for tables from casual customers we never once felt pressured to leave early. The service was excellent and attentive. The food was stunning, the pasta my partner had was very very good and the steak I had was stunning, lots of flavour and so tender. Desserts oh I wish I had more room for more than one !! Great choice and again so tasty ! We will definitely be returning here again ! A little gem in the back street of Valetta ! We left at 11.45pm walked around the corner and into the heart of New Year celebrations! What a great night !

First time here with my colleagues. Definitely will be one of my regular haunts as the food was sooooo delicious. As you will see from photos the presentation was just as appetising too :) Big well done to the chef 😁

Been here many times and always got back with a wonderful aftertaste. I would definitely mention their ravioli, delicious, and their homemade Tiramisu. Denitely reccomended!

Seven of us went here for lunch and all had delicious food Our Croatian waiter and Italian Waitress looked after us extremely well and we were glad we had booked tables because it is always so popular. Whenever we visit Malta we go to Pappanis.
