La Cuccagna Restaurant

La Cuccagna Restaurant Overview

La Cuccagna is a delightful, casual, family-run and family-friendly restaurant situated just off the Sliema seafront promenade. Their pizzas are especially popular with locals but La Cuccagna’s inviting menu incorporates a number of other delicious dishes such as pasta, grills and salads.

The restaurant is usually very busy especially on weekends and so reservations are a must. It is difficult to pinpoint La Cuccagna’s pizza speciality as their trick is actually the scrumptious pizza base. Toppings are then just a matter of preference and with a choice of over twenty pizzas to choose from, plus extra toppings available, you are sure to find something that tickles your fancy.

But La Cuccagna is not all about pizza...pasta lovers are in for a treat too with over ten dishes ranging from your standard Bolognese to a spicy Arrabbiata, from the vegeterian Norma to the fish lovers Penne Russe with shrimps, avocado, vodka, caviar and cream. Those after some juicy meats have a choice of grilled burgers, fillets and spare ribs. For those on a lighter diet, La Cuccagna also offers a choice of salads which can be mixed with chicken, salmon, Thai beef or tuna.

A great characteristic of La Cuccagna is that they offer a range of Gluten Free pasta and pizza dishes for those intolerant to gluten. In addition, if you are after something that extra special, make sure to ask for their home-made ravioli.

Malta is all about a Mediterranean life enjoying the weather, the sea, the food and company. A walk along the Sliema sea promenade, coupled with a casual meal at La Cuccagna, represent the Maltese family lifestyle in more ways than one.
