Shane Delia: “It is not often that we are reminded just how powerful food, family, and tradition can be—but today was one of those special days.

We had the pleasure of welcoming someone we had never met before into our home, our hearts, and our kitchen here at Ta’ Ċiċivetta Farm. What began as a simple meal quickly became something far more meaningful—an experience built on shared stories, laughter, and a deep appreciation for our Maltese roots.

Moments like these capture the true essence of Maltese hospitality. No matter where we come from, we are united by a shared heritage, a love for our island, and a passion for honest, heartwarming food. Around our table, strangers become friends, and friendships feel like family.

This spirit is something that has been passed down through generations—from our earliest ancestors who came across the sea, to the Maltese communities now spread across the world. It lives on in every dish we prepare and every guest we welcome.

To our guest, thank you for trusting us, for sharing this moment with us, and for becoming part of our extended family. We are truly grateful for the connection we’ve built and look forward to many more shared meals and memories in the future.”

What a pleasure it was hosting Shane Delia at Ta’ Ċiċivetta Farm.
