La Bottega del Sole e della Luna

Victoria (Rabat)


This pleasantly overstocked store is divided into two parts: one side sells a cornucopia of local Gozitan food specialities and interesting souvenirs, while the other is a deli crammed with gourmet food and drink products from Italy and France. Drop in for goodies to be enjoyed on the deck at your farmhouse.
