Preserving Tradition:
In the heart of our kitchen, Chef Letizia Vella meticulously preserves Maltese culinary traditions by infusing them into every dish. One stellar example of this harmonious blend is our signature 'Tarja' dish, a testament to the rich tapestry of flavors that make Malta's gastronomy unique.
The 'Tarja' Experience:
Step into a world where tradition meets innovation with our 'Tarja' dish. Chef Vella artfully handcrafts tagliolini pasta, a nod to the cherished pasta-making practices passed down through generations. What sets this dish apart is the skillful use of in-house-aged pecorino cheese, matured for a full 12 months. The result? A pasta dish that exudes a depth of flavor, capturing the essence of Malta's culinary history.
A Symphony of Flavors:
The journey doesn't end there. The 'Tarja' experience is elevated with the addition of local fresh fish tartar, infusing coastal freshness into every bite. Chef Letizia Vella's culinary alchemy reaches its crescendo with a lavish finishing touch – Baluga Caviar, adding a luxurious note that elevates the dish to an extraordinary culinary masterpiece.
Chef Letizia's Culinary Vision:
Chef Letizia's commitment to culinary excellence extends beyond the 'Tarja' dish. Her vision is to weave a narrative that connects the past and present of Maltese cuisine. Every plate that leaves our kitchen is a testament to her dedication to preserving heritage while embracing the innovations that enhance the dining experience.
