Great little European restaurant. Excellent food. Had the short ribs and it was perfect. Good wines at reasonable prices. Will come back again

Great place to grab a lunch that isn't going to make you bloated and sick afterwards. Enjoyed our meal and wish I had found this place sooner.

We (4 of us) recently dined at Cafe Malta. It was a huge disappointment. We waited an hour for our food with no apologies from the staff. The food was sub par. The snapper was rubbery and the risotto was under cooked. The pork chop was heavily salted.The coq au vin was a very small potion.The wine list is not exciting.We will not go back.

Nice place, and the food was good. I didn't like the panisses, but I did like my croque madame. The menu is limited, but there's still options available. I'll definitely go again.

No seasoning. Very Overcooked (pasta and fish). Small cocktail pours. Left hungry. Really surprised after reading the good reviews.

Full menu was not offered. Snapper was extremely salty, was served with skin on it and olive taste overpowered the dish and it was served on a bed of the risotto, which I feel should have been served on the side. Coq au vin was very bland and the ravioli was "meh". I expressed my disappointment to the waitress and she said "I'll check with the manager and see if we can do anything" and she was to come back with water. Forgot the water and we had to ask for it again. When the check came, there was no compensation for anything. I just paid and left. Will not dine here again.

Underwhelmed by the entrees. Snapper was overcooked and plated over what was supposed to be risotto- which was actually more like watery rice lacking flavor. No creaminess to it which to me defines a risotto. Desserts were excellent though.

Cafe Malta has a very unique Mediterranean menu with strange but delicious dishes. It was very difficult to decide what to try. I suggest trying a number of appetizers and one main to share and order more if still hungry.
Not what it used to be. Service was very poor took at least 20 minutes to get dessert and main course wasn't much quicker. $9 for a salad with some arugula and tiny apple slices. Beef brisket ravioli was quite good however. Glass of white wine a very small pour. Won't be going back.

Cafe Malta does a great job creating a European ambience in a strip mall location. The decor is inviting. The food is excellent and highly varied. There were entrees with every kind of protein as well as vegetarian options. They also have gluten free pasta available. I enjoyed a gluten free pasta with ground lamb and panna cotta with basil and strawberry compote--a surprisingly delicious combination. The only down side was the inattentive service. Perhaps a server didn't show up for work that day Regardless, I would definitely go back if I were in the neighborhoo.

We visited for Valentine's Day and it was great. There was a set menu but it did not disappoint. The wine pairings were also great. I recommend this fine restaurant for any occasion.

We started our dining experience with an order of clams. We ordered a bottle of Italian Prosecco, and then received our Honeycrisp apple salads. For entrées, we chose the snapper with risotto and the pork shoulder with polenta. Dessert was a crème brûlée. We find special reasons to dine here throughout the year!
