This spot is great for family night out in Paternoster or on a date night out. I quite enjoyed the welcome and quick service. The prices are quite affordable and reasonable for an area that is frequented by tourists who often spend a lot. Let's...get to the food shall we? Sen.. Sational! Flavourful! Generous! Soooooo morish. I had the pasta dish with seafood muscles and squid heads and tenticles. And oh so delicious. I can't rave anymore about it. Check it out when going to Paternoster.More

What a wonderful warm and welcoming place, the food we had was fantastic, fresh and made with the best ingredients. The owner went the extra mile when we said how nice a glass of dessert wine would be to round off the excellent meal and...since there was none on the wine list, he produced a bottle from his own collection. We can't wait to visit again.More

Amazing pizza that reminded me of my childhood days. Surprised to find out that marmite and cheese pizza was served here, with the perfect amount of cheese, flavour and tanginess! A definite favourite.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered pizza and it was good and great value. Not the best food we’ve had in Paternoster. But if you want something affordable and comfortable this is a great spot to visit.

We had a lovely evening at Trattoria Paternoster. The seafood curry was good, however the caramel cake stole the show! It was delectable. The service was friendly and quick, with beautiful views as it is right on the beach.
