Soul Food

This Italian eatery stands out for its welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful touches, such as complimentary olive oil and balsamic sachets adorning each table. As Heidi Kemppainen put it, "In pedestrian area with bustling street can this gem be found! Friendly service combined with tasty food. Can highly recommend lasagna which was as tasty as any lasagna we ate in Rome, Italy."

The menu at Soul Food balances authenticity with accessibility, featuring standout dishes like lasagna rivalled only by those found in Rome, alongside local sausage and caprese salad. Portions are generous, and the attentive staff ensure a seamless dining experience without being intrusive. The restaurant’s warm hum of conversation creates an intimate backdrop for enjoying a meal, whether it’s a leisurely lunch or a relaxed dinner. Soul Food caters to diverse dietary needs with robust vegetarian and vegan options, complemented by a well-curated selection of wine and beer. Its wheelchair accessibility and proximity to Elia Greek Cuisine, just 12 metres away, make it a convenient choice for exploring Valletta’s culinary scene. Open daily from midday until 10pm, it’s a reliable spot for both locals and visitors seeking quality Italian fare. Travellers basing themselves nearby often pair a visit with one of the hotels in Malta close to Valletta, making it an easy addition to an evening out.
