Origins
My name is Salvatore Pavone, I am the chef and the owner of SABBAGATA restaurant. I have been cooking since I started working in little restaurants when I was a kid, learning everything I needed by practice, nearly thirty years ago. I grew up in a little village in Messina (called Zafferia). In 1992, I was 13 years old when I went to high school in Giardini Naxos, at 14 years old I have already worked in restaurants near home. At 23 years old I opened my first restaurant, then the second one, and with them did prizes and certificates arrive. Although I felt it was not enough: so my family and I have moved to Malta, pushed by the idea to bring them by a little city into a metropolitan environment. In 2015 I opened my third e then my fourth restaurant with the name of “L’ORSO”. In 2020 my daughter Ginevra was born, in the same way “SABBAGATA” restaurant took shape. Nowadays my wife, my Staff and I run the restaurant, they help me to make my ever-have dream come true: cooking!
Our Menu
Salvo, the chef, and the entire crew never disappoints. It’s always a pleasure to be spoiled by them and their delicious food. Quality remains amazingly consistent, clearly there’s a lot of research behind their offer but also hard work and passion. Well done!

Great welcoming service by all the the staff starting from Rino who is always asking if everything is ok and Agata and Phae for the top service not to mention Salvo the chef / owner as well.
I am celiac and only had to mention it the first time I went and they always remember.
On the menu allergens are marked so makes it a lot easier what can be ordered and not.
Top top food and service.
Highly recommended.

The food is delicious....Salvo, the chef, loves what he does and it is evident in how he explains his "works of art". The bread, which is made by the chef, is exquisite. The restaurant is welcoming and very cosy. The service is impeccable.....a restaurant worth visiting!
