Antipasto
Bruschetta al Pomodoro
Wood-fired sourdough rubbed with garlic, piled high with sun-ripened heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and a drizzle of our house extra-virgin olive oil.
Where Mediterranean tradition meets modern elegance — fresh local ingredients, hand-crafted pasta, and the eternal blue of the Maltese sea.
Since 2018 — Valletta, Malta
Perched on the sun-drenched coastline of Valletta, Casa Limone is more than a restaurant — it is a celebration of life, warmth, and the timeless flavours of southern Italy and the Mediterranean. Every dish tells a story of honest ingredients, passed-down traditions, and genuine passion.
We believe in food that connects — antipasto shared among friends, pasta al dente tossed in sea-fresh seafood, risotto stirred with patience and love. Our kitchen sources directly from local Maltese fishermen and seasonal farmers, honouring the land and sea that inspire us.
Come for the food, stay for the view, and leave as family.
Book Your Experience
Chef Marco Ricci grew up in a small coastal village outside Naples, where his nonna taught him that great cooking begins long before the stove — it begins at the market, at the harbour, and in the garden. He trained under Michelin-starred kitchens in Milan and Rome before finding his true calling on the sun-warmed shores of Malta.
At Casa Limone, Marco channels the soul of southern Italian cucina into every creation. His pasta is made fresh each morning, his sauces reduce for hours, and his seafood comes straight from the boats of Marsaxlokk. Nothing frozen, nothing rushed.
"The Mediterranean gave me everything — the salt air, the lemon trees, the endless blue horizon. My cooking is simply a way of saying thank you."
A firm believer in the slow food philosophy, Chef Marco personally greets his guests, shares his stories, and pours a little extra love into every plate that leaves his kitchen.

Antipasto
Wood-fired sourdough rubbed with garlic, piled high with sun-ripened heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and a drizzle of our house extra-virgin olive oil.
Antipasto
Paper-thin slices of day-fresh Maltese yellowfin tuna, dressed with capers, lemon zest, micro herbs, and a whisper of Sicilian chilli oil.
Pasta
House-made linguine tossed with clams, mussels, gamberi, and sea urchin in a delicate white wine and cherry tomato broth. The taste of Malta's coast.
Pasta
Silky egg tagliolini folded with sweet brown crab, nduja butter, chilli, and a generous handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley. Perfectly al dente.
Seafood
Line-caught Maltese sea bass baked whole in a herb-infused salt crust. Finished tableside, served with caponata and lemon-caper dressing.
Dessert
Velvet-smooth panna cotta infused with fresh Maltese lemons, served with a limoncello gel, candied citrus peel, and fresh seasonal berries.
"The linguine allo scoglio was absolutely breathtaking — the freshest seafood I've tasted outside of Naples. The terrace view over the water made it a truly magical evening. Casa Limone has become our annual anniversary tradition."
"Chef Marco came out to introduce himself — that personal touch is rare these days. The spigola al sale, presented tableside, was theatre and cuisine in one. Service was warm, attentive, never intrusive. Will be back every time we're in Malta."
"I hosted my company's client dinner here for 20 people and it was flawless. The private terrace, the custom tasting menu, the sommelier's wine pairings — everything exceeded expectations. Our clients are still talking about it."
"Panna cotta al limone — I dreamt about it for weeks. The lemon from their own garden, the silkiness of the cream, the perfect acidity. Simple ingredients elevated to art. Casa Limone is the best meal I had in all of Europe this year."
