Pastaus Restaurant Malta - Fresh Pasta

confidence 65% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Vegetarian dishes are marked with a '(V)' symbol throughout the menu, covering starters such as Classic Bruschetta, Bruschetta Veggie, and Mixed Salad, as well as pasta sauces like Vegan Ragu and Lemon Sorbet. The menu shows a reasonable spread of clearly labelled vegetarian options. The kitchen is shared with meat and fish dishes, so the usual shared-prep caveats apply.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

Pastaus offers a small set of cold gluten-free starters (Caprese Salad, Mixed Salad, Cheese Platter) listed under a dedicated 'Starters Gluten Free' section, and gluten-free pasta is available on request for sauce dishes. However, this is a fresh pasta kitchen where wheat flour is a core, pervasive ingredient. No information is provided about separate cooking water, utensils, prep surfaces, or any other cross-contact controls. For anyone with coeliac disease, the cross-contamination risk from a shared pasta kitchen is significant — call ahead and speak to staff before visiting.

The menu lists a 'Vegan Ragu' (aubergines, peppers, zucchini, carrots, celery, fresh tomato sauce), but it is marked only with '(V)' — the same symbol used for vegetarian dishes — and no separate vegan label (VG) exists. It's unclear whether the Vegan Ragu is the only vegan option or whether other (V)-marked items are also dairy/egg free. If you're strictly vegan, it's worth calling ahead to confirm which dishes are fully plant-based and how they're prepared.
