We waited here for over an hour during a mild heatwave in Brussels, and it did not disappoint. This…read moreis yet another spot that we loved so much we came back a second time! The place is a family run restaurant, and we had amazing service and food. The pasta was fresh and the variety a plus - but the best pasta on the menu by far is the truffle mushroom pasta. I'm salivating just thinking about it! Make a reservation if possible as the place gets busy!

I emailed the restaurant to make a reservation about two weeks beforehand, and I'm so glad I did…read morebecause they didn't have any availability for the time that I wanted, even on a Monday night. When we got to the restaurant, we were seated outside promptly. Our waiter was really nice and explained the menu to us. I don't usually like salads, but I felt like I needed some greens after eating heavy Belgian food. We decided to go with the mixed salad with ham, and I'm so glad we did! This salad deserves 5 stars honestly. The dressing was amazing, and the ham added a nice salty touch. For pastas, we got the spaghetti with spicy Calabrian sausage and burrata and the ravioli with osso buco. The pastas were definitely cooked al dente - I preferred the spaghetti. The ravioli had good flavor, but it was sitting in so much oil that I couldn't eat too many. It was a solid meal overall, but I didn't think the pastas were anything life-changing. Great place if you're craving some Italian food though!

Found this little Italian spot on TripAdvisor. We were looking for something cozy, one cold and…read morerainy night and this had exactly the feel we needed. Thought about making reservations, but instead we just got there right when they opened and there would've been no need. Granted it was a work week night, literally for the entire hour we were there only two tables arrived. And I was counting us. Perhaps later you might want a reservation or you might have to wait. There were only about seven or eight tables me entire thing so it's cozy. The one person running the cash register and taking orders, was very kind, but a little distracted on her phone. I wonder if she was doing work. She was very sweet though and gave good recommendations. My friend got the Ragu while I opted for the gnocchi. I actually preferred the Ragu for sure. The meat was tender and delicious, and the noodles were thick and delightful. The gnocchi kind of tasted a little, bland and repetitive. To be honest, I wish we could've shared like five tiny plates. Felt like I was eating way too much gnocchi and didn't get a lot of diversity. The bacon on top did help a little. The dishes were about 25 a piece, but they definitely tasted homemade. We opted for the bruschetta as a starter and I would've skipped that. The tomatoes were super fresh and the bread was good but the olive oil was playing. Don't think it was worth $10. The wine selection was brilliant. Generally pretty affordable for the quality. Some delicious wines there that night. Love love, love the aesthetic. We definitely want to return and try some new things.

Went the other day for lunch. Had Vitello Tonnato and Penne Boscaiola…read more.. For the Vitello Tonnato, they just mixed canned tuna with mayo resulting in a very thick mash which was oversalty. For the Penne Boscaiola, the peas were canned which made the dish look unappeatizing. Please use a foodprocessor to make the Tonnato-sauce and add some vegetable stock to make it slightly thinner. And for the peas, please use frozen peas which are ready in 1-2-3 and with a bright green attractive colour. Two small changes would have made a world of difference!
