We are a Mediterranean restaurant situated in Mellieha. Since Mellieha is a small town named after the Arabic word for salt, we don’t think we could have found a more fitting area. The quaint town is an ideal location for a variety of reasons, not least for its tourist attractions. And what’s better than a cosy environment accompanied by food of outstanding value after a day at the beach? Not to toot our own horn, but our answer would be: not much. Staying true to our typical Mediterranean demeanour, we always provide a service with a smile. The intimate atmosphere of our restaurant is appreciated by a variety of patrons seeking an authentic experience, and we do our best to accommodate families. But what we are genuinely enthusiastic about is our food. At Da Ciccio Cucina, you will be served with perfectly cooked dishes and a great selection of wines to complement them. Our dedicated chef – Ciccio – is passionate about food and the culture behind it, guaranteeing a remarkable culinary experience each time. You don’t even have to sit at our tables to experience it, though – we also offer takeout so you can take this delicious experience home!

Our dining operation at Tosca Restaurant is headed by our chef – Jean Paul. We invite you to dine at Tosca Restaurant any day of the week.
