About Us

Who Are We?

Ta’ Nardi is a family-owned and family-run establishment with over 30 years of experience in catering, specialising in private parties, family celebrations, and bespoke events.

Built on a strong passion for food, tradition, and hospitality, we officially opened under the new name Ta’ Nardi in 2018 and are proudly located in Salina.

Our name reflects our roots: a father-and-son partnership, both named Leonard, which translates to Nardu in Maltese – hence Ta’ Nardi.

This reflects our dedication to family values, our guests’ happiness, and making sure every party is a success where good food, good company, and great memories come together.

Our Location & Heritage

Salina is an area rich in history, dating back centuries.

The Salina saltpans were constructed by the Knights of St John in the 16th century, at a time when salt was essential to daily life, not only for seasoning food, but for making bread dough, curing fish, preserving meat and poultry, producing cheeslets, and even fighting infections as an antiseptic in a world without refrigeration.

Salt also played a vital role in industries such as clothing and leather preparation, and its importance was so great that, the word salary comes from the Latin salarium, derived from sal, meaning “salt.”
Nearby catacombs close to the Church of the Annunciation further suggest that a sizeable and thriving community once lived in Salina.

The Salini Redoubt, originally built in 1715 by Grand Master Ramon Perellos, was later restored and enlarged with a salt store by Grand Master Francesco Ximénez between 1773 and 1775, who left his coat of arms adorning its façade which can still be seen today.

In honour of his contribution to the area, the road on which Ta’ Nardi is located is named Triq Francesco Ximenes.
