I have visited here several times over the last 3-4 years and on a recent trip visited twice and on first visit was happy however the second visit on a Saturday night was left feeling let down. I had the Tagliatelle Alla Chef and found...it over powered with garlic and just didn’t enjoy it. Given we had a bad experience the previous night at a Valentines meal this left all 4 of the group disillusioned with Hugo’s Group. The Matre Di from previous disaster of a night was running Hugo’s Pizza and Pasta and I cant help but think he was in over his head. The restaurant was half full and we saw several walk ins turned away claiming the restaurant was too busy. We were there for a good hour and half and it never got any busier. There was a table near to us that clearly had friends of staff just sat there drinking and getting attention. Really felt they did not want any extra work so kept turning walk ins away. I guess the best tip is to make sure you book a table. My real gripe is that the menu has not changed in the 3-4 years I have been visiting. Yes it’s all good (see my previous review) but come on guys! Variety is the spice of life and your menu needs refreshing with some new dishes. One final thought, it seems since Hugo has passed on (I had the pleasure of meeting him several times in his various restaurants and Hotels) the attitude behind Hugo’s Group has changed but not in a positive way. Instead of being wowed by Hugo’s on several times this trip we felt unimpressed and generally disappointed. To the point where I don’t feel I want to return to Paceville Malta again in near future. Shame as I have had many a great night there.More

If somewhere is called “Pizza and Pasta” then that what I want - not all this fusion food which made up over half the menu! However, the food I did have was nice - the bruschetta starter is lovely and fresh and easily for 2...people! My prawn risotto was lovely, full of prawns and again tasted very fresh. My wife had the bolognaise - shame it wasn’t served with spaghetti but some other tubed pasta instead - again, we just wanted simple Italian! Probably wouldn’t return as other nearby restaurants serve more authentic Italian food.More

I had the prawn risotto. It was solidified rice with prawns in the top that looked like a bizzare claw like arrangement. 2 of us had starters so they brought those at the same as the other twos mains... terrible service, terrible food. Awful.More

We had dinner and drinks in this restaurant which to begin with was great, the wine was good, food was amazing (even though a friend asked for no truffle in her pasta- okay he forgot but it’s okay!! Mistakes happen!) and to start, the service...was good. When it came to paying was the issue. We wanted to split the bill (which surely a lot of people do here) and we’d worked out how much each to even make it easier (which a lot of people don’t do). We asked to split the bill and the waiter make a big deal out of it. Stormed over to the bar, slammed the card machine down and got his colleague to take the payment. I asked her what the problem was. She said because it was”busy” (6 tables, 2 people working.. not overly busy in my opinion) it was an effort to split the bill. We planned on going again because of the food but were shocked on the service. It should never be an issue for people to split the bill, it happens, and if you were nicer about it you may have even got a nice tip it’s a shame the great food was ruined by the waiter who had a strop over a split bill.More

We took a take away as we were in a hotel close by so this was our option for a quick snack Luckily not busy so we only waited 10 minutes.... We has bacon avo feta and all was great .. A must try.. Enjoy......More

Hugo bought a run down bar in Malta in 80's ad since bought a few places and turned them in lovely eateries. Would recommend the Pizza and Pasta joint as food and service was great and good value for money

Apart from not having all the ingredients mentioned on the menu. The Luke's pizza is bland and highly overly priced. I highly do not suggest it as Malta has an endless variety of pizza's places with cheaper price.More
