About staġuni

Set inside Marananga’s restored schoolhouse, staġuni delivers bold Mediterranean cooking over original hardwood floors. Step past the open fire and you are greeted straight from the open kitchen by chef-owner Clare Falzon. Her blackboard wine list frames a rustic spread of shared plates—think spiced lamb stuffed Turkish peppers, crisp fennel dusted with pumpkin seed praline, and traditional Maltese tuna dip. Diners often let go of decision-making entirely, opting for the chef’s choice selections alongside local pours, before finishing with golden roast potatoes.

  • Historic Schoolhouse Setting: Original timber floors, an open fire, and blackboard menus honor the restored Marananga classroom.
  • Chef-Owner Greeting: Owner and chef Clare Falzon welcomes guests right at the open kitchen and presents dishes tableside.
  • Thursday Set Menus: Mid-week diners gather over multi-course shared courses paired with favorite bottles via BYO wine.
