The linguine alle vongole was the finest I’ve had outside of Naples. The clams were impossibly fresh, the pasta perfectly al dente. Chef Marco came to greet us personally — that kind of warmth is rare.
Authentic Italian flavours kissed by the Mediterranean sea.
A journey of taste, tradition, and warm Maltese hospitality.
Born in Palermo and raised between the aromas of his grandmother's kitchen and the salt air of the Sicilian coast, Chef Marco Borg has spent over two decades perfecting the art of Italian cuisine. His journey took him through the finest kitchens of Rome, Venice, and London before the warmth of Malta called him home.
At Casa Limone, Marco channels a lifetime of flavour memory into every plate. The philosophy is simple yet uncompromising: the finest local ingredients, the time-honoured techniques of his heritage, and the kind of genuine hospitality that turns first-time visitors into lifelong guests.
“Cooking is not just about feeding the body,” Marco says. “It is about feeding the soul. Every dish I create carries a story — of the sea I grew up beside, the basil my nonna grew on the windowsill, and the warmth I want every guest to feel at our table.”

We hosted a private birthday dinner for twelve here and it was flawlessly executed. The set menu was beautifully balanced, the space intimate and elegant. Our guests were talking about it for weeks.
As someone who travels to Italy regularly, I was sceptical. But the burrata and the branzino at Casa Limone honestly rivalled anything in Sicily. The wine pairing was impeccable. I will return every time I visit Malta.
The Sunday lunch experience is a ritual we now look forward to every month. The risotto ai frutti di mare is simply outstanding. This restaurant is Malta’s best-kept secret, though not for long.
From the moment we were seated to the last glass of limoncello, every detail was considered. The sea bass baked in salt crust was theatrical and delicious. This is fine dining with soul — a rarity anywhere in Europe.
Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a corporate dinner, a wedding celebration, or an intimate gathering, Casa Limone offers a dedicated private dining experience tailored to every occasion.
We’re located at the heart of Valletta’s waterfront — where the ancient harbour meets contemporary Italian dining.
