About Us
Cafe Malta is a casual bistro with better-than-casual food. The sort of neighborhood place you come across on a side street in Rome or Barcelona once you get away from the tourist traps. Relaxed, unpretentious and informal, but with excellent food that uses fresh, local ingredients creatively prepared.
