In the heart of the Mediterranean, on an enchanting rise on the island of Gozo, Osteria Scottadito wins recognition: the Gold certification of ITA0039 by ASACERT. The restaurant, located in Triq It-Torri Ta Kenuna, Nadur in Malta, continues to distinguish itself as an authentic ambassador of 100% Italian Taste in the world.
Behind the success of Osteria Scottadito are Emanuele Carloni and Michela Cappelli, a couple who turned their love for cuisine and quality into their professional mission. After leaving their beloved Pesaro, they found in the picturesque little island of Gozo the perfect place to bring their dream to life: an osteria that celebrated the tradition of Marche and Romagna with authentic dishes and warm hospitality.
First opened in 2017 in the heart of Nadur, the tavern has been able to win the palates of many thanks to the passion and dedication of its team. In January 2024, it began a new chapter in its history with a move to an even more atmospheric location on the Nadur Heights. Here, a spacious and comfortable venue welcomes guests with breathtaking views of the Maltese archipelago and its crystal clear sea, offering a dining experience that goes beyond just a meal.
Chef Michela, with her determination and talent, brings all the richness of the Italian culinary tradition to her dishes. Among the most popular proposals is the Agnello Scottadito: a refined rack of lamb, partly grilled and partly baked, embellished with a crust of pecorino cheese and wild fennel, served with a delicate Williams pear chutney. A true expression of Italian culinary art, able to excite and conquer.
For Michela and Emanuele, the secret of Italian cuisine lies in the authenticity and simplicity of the ingredients, skillfully combined to bring out their authentic flavor. According to them, “A true Italian restaurant does not need to flaunt too many tricolor flags: it can be recognized by its passion, regional tradition and family management,” says Emanuele Carloni, elements that make Osteria Scottadito a reference point for those seeking an authentic Italian dining experience abroad.
