Fodor's Expert Review Ta' Rikardu
A truly authentic Gozitan experience is enjoying locally produced charcuterie and plates of pasta in this vaulted stone medieval building in the shade of Gozo Cathedral. There isn't an extensive menu—daily specials appear on a chalkboard—but you'll be assured of handcrafted cheeses, crusty bread, local honey, and wine that's traveled only a couple of miles from a local vineyard. The rabbit is reliably good, but it's the goat-cheese-packed ravioli that are truly special. Ta' Rikardu also sells vacuum-packed foods that are on the menu. Tours with Gozo Adventures include visits to the farm where you can see Rikardu make his famous gbejna cheeselets.
