So we cook our pizzas in a traditional wood-fired stone oven to preserve the authentic taste of real Italian pizza. Our pasta is as well produced in house by our artisans just like our desserts and ice cream which are realised in our dedicated workshop. We believe in traditional craftsmanship as a vision for the future where you will always be aware of what is served, with no secrets.

The staff was super friendly and helpful on making sure we were getting what we hoped we were ordering. In true European fashion, the meal took over 2 hours. We had a pizza and 2 Trios. Everything was really delicious. We had a Tiramisu and a chocolate tart for dessert. They were both delicious. I would highly recommend this place but do make reservations. We made them online and they didn't get transferred to the paper calendar but they made sure to squeeze us in.

A delightful meal including fun teasing by the wait staff how Americans always order Chianti--we didn't :) Can recommend the Scampi appetizer as well as the entrée of Linguini with Lobster and Basil. Perfecto! I'm not a dessert person, but I would save room for desserts (see pics) Small gripe: ordered a gin martini and got a gin and tonic. It's okay. I've come to accept the difficulty of ordering a true martini in this country. Serving a martini must be an unnatural act. Overall, good value in wine. Tip I: Restaurant has its own parking lot but not on the website as best I can tell...so call for directions. Otherwise parking in area of Zaventem train station is tight. Tip II: Closed Sunday, also not on website. While were we there in November, I notice inviting outdoor seating in season. Will return.
