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!

Very very good Italian authentic cuisine for people who are used to eat real good Italian food…read more!!!!!! My favorite Italian restaurant!! Very nice servers, always smiling. The restaurant is renewed since a few months, and all the tables are nicely spread: great privacy. A great terrace too.

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.

HOLY COW, THIS WAS THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD…read more So, I was told this was authentic Italian pizza. The crust was super thin and not cut into slices at all, so you need a fork and knife. I really wanted to try the bolognese pizza, but I don't eat pork so no spaghetti on pizza for me. It didn't matter though because I got merguez and eggplant on my pizza. Let me tell you, such a great decision even if I don't know if the merguez was mutton or beef. The sauce was really good, the merguez had excellent spices in it, and the eggplant wasn't over cooked. Apparently, you're not supposed to eat the crust and I missed that memo because when I wanted to take home my leftovers, they cut off the crust from the side I had already devoured. It was a pretty big pizza for me though. It also heated up fairly well the day after for dinner and I appreciated it. We were served limoncello for our after drink and it was amazing. Never going to find quality limoncello like that in the states and also didn't think I'd get pizza that great in Belgium, but I stood corrected. Next time we come back to visit family, we will absolutely come back and get pizza here. The staff is very friendly and amazing. There is a bit of a language barrier as not many of the staff speak English all that well, but the owner's son was able to help us and you can really just point and use Google Translate if you don't speak French.

Amazing Italian food and very nice staff. We order food to go from there almost 3 times per month…read more Highly recommended.
