Waterfront dining | Pepe Nero
The Valletta Waterfront is always a great place to go for a meal. Sitting at the edge of the water, against a backdrop of the three cities, diners can enjoy a selection of dishes off an a la carte menu at Pepe Nero, or if in the mood for something easier on the stomach why not try one of their fantastic pizzas

The menu at Pepe Nero is an exciting one with exotic dishes added to regular favourites. Fresh oysters are available as well as ones cooked in a variety of ways for those who can’t stomach the idea of raw shellfish.
Wild boar stew and duck dishes accompany the regular favourites like ribeye steaks and a selection of fresh fish that changes daily depending on the fishermen’s catch.
While you are there be sure to try Pepe Nero’s signature dish, Tegamino – a fresh seafood pot covered in pizza dough. Break through the crisp pizza dough to find a variety of fresh clams, mussels and prawns in a seafood broth. Once you’ve gone through the seafood, the best part is still to come – dipping the crispy pizza dough into the seafood juices.
If you are thinking of organising a meal for a group of friends, try out the suckling pig. Pre-ordering is required.
There are hundreds of pizza places to choose from in Malta but what distinguishes Pepe Nero from the rest is the unique wood and brick oven that gives the pizzas that perfect crispy texture.
Pepe Nero’s pizzaiolo has won awards world-wide and not only offers a truly fantastic pizza but also provides perfect entertainment as he juggles huge pieces of dough as he prepares the dish for the oven.
After dinner the joys of the city await. Take a stroll along the buzzing Waterfront, stopping at one of the clubs if that is your thing or head up to the city centre to enjoy a coffee or walk around the shops.
