Perched on a panoramic and romantic point in Marsalforn Bay, Gozo, Il Gabbiano – The Seagull – is a family-run restaurant that offers more than just a meal. Here, right by the sea, guests are invited to experience the colour’s, scents, and flavours of the Mediterranean in their purest form.
Our roots run deep in Maltese and Mediterranean traditions. Every ingredient on your plate is chosen with care:
- Seasonal vegetables are 100% organic, hand-harvested from our family’s own fields.
- Fresh fish is line-caught from the surrounding sea.
- Meat is top-quality, sourced from trusted suppliers around the world.
- And our pasta? Rolled and prepared daily, by hand, in our kitchen.
Chef Patron Franklin Hili brings his quiet passion to every dish — elevating simple, beautiful ingredients into authentic artisan plates. Each recipe is uniquely crafted, honouring the seasons, the island, and the soul of Mediterranean cooking.
At Il Gabbiano, we don’t just serve food.
“We serve a connection — to the land, to the sea, and to the people who make it all possible.”
