You simply cannot visit Malta without trying one of the island’s top foods, aka pastizzi!

Typically stuffed with ricotta cheese or mashed peas, pastizzi are a diamond shape savoury pastry that are simply loved by many tourists and locals alike.

One would typically find these foods in little take–away shops alongside the streets of Malta, locally known as pastizzeriji.
