Mr. Adrian Saliba dined on 04-11-2017 Food: Service: Ambience: Overall: | The food was good, but upon asking for the bill, we were really disappointed when we noticed that the 50% Gusto discount was applied on food prices excluding VAT. The VAT was then re-added to the Total price.What a serious let down. When we brought this to the attention of the owner, he stated that his accountant had told him to carry out such calculation. Gusto team has been informed about the matter and remarked that this was a first time case and that such calculation is incorrect. |

Mr. Andre` Bugeja dined on 13-02-2015 Food: Service: Ambience: Overall: | Il Carciofo is a family run restaurant set in the quiet village of Gharghur, parking is not a problem, we parked right in front of the establishment on a weekend! The menu is varied having a range of pizza, pasta, meat and fish and the prices are really reasonable. Food is very much like home cooking, nothing exceptional or original but good considering the price its all worth it. The service was good and friendly. Only negative is that the restaurant does not display prices for drinks and desserts so make sure you ask for prices if you are unsure. Overall, this restaurant is really worth a try. |
