Trattoria AD 1530

Mdina


Part of boutique hotel Xara Palace, this stylishly casual trattoria offers outdoor seating on the pretty square. The food is nothing special, but the location is great on a sunny day. There's a kids' menu, and the grown-ups can choose from pizza and pasta choices, plus more substantial mains of fish and meat.
