Absolutely fantastic family run restaurant in Brussels. The…read morefather explained each dish and how the pasta is made by his wife.

The owner greeted us and told us about the dishes, his wife is the one who makes all of the delicious food! This is right at the center of Brussels so really a great place to eat and we ate outside. There's plenty of seating outside. The pasta was so delicious, fresh, and you could tell it was made with love.

I recently found myself staying for a night in a part of Brussels I don't know and things didn't…read morelook good for dinner. Kebabs or frites looked most likely, but then Yelp suggested a decent pizza place just over the road from my hotel. The sit-down restaurant looks very pleasant, but the real star is the pizza. As you walk into the entrance hallway you're presented with a close-up view of a large wood-fired brick-lined pizza oven, with the main kitchen behind its' bulky presence. So far, so promising, but the best tools aren't much use without someone who knows how to use them. Luckily, Pantalone's pizzaiolo really knows his stuff. Don't get hypnotised watching the pizzaiolo at work! Walk past him and make a left. Place your order at the till and you'll get a receipt. Hand this to the pizzaiolo and then watch him go to work. A quattro stagioni was heaped with all the goodness I could have asked for and was made and cooked fresh, right before my eyes, in a little over five minutes. Sadly I was far too hungry to remember a picture. Finally, takeaway costs a couple of Euros less than if you eat in the restaurant.

Since I was there for lunch I didnt see the wine list either. Hopefully mostly Italian. I love a rich Italian red to go with a nice meal in a comfortable atmosphere. Kudos...

This place is small - really small - so reservations would be a good idea. I think they had like 7 or 8 tables. But wow - such a cute place and great food. I highly recommend it.

A friend of mine had been trying for weeks to get a dinner reservation at Osteria Bolognese. She…read morewas finally able to snag one for 9:15 p.m. on a Tuesday. It wasn't ideal, but we were all happy to get in. We were immediately impressed. The service was fantastic, even for our group of six. The wine selection was perfect for the food. The seasonal menu was relatively small, so we decided to order one of every appetizer and every main, and to share everything. Everything was good, but these were the standouts for me: *Asparagus *Truffle pasta *Vegetable pasta *Clam linguine We could have done without the burrata, the lasagna, the cheesecake and the tiramisu, which were OK but not great. However, we cleaned every single plate, and we left overall feeling very happy and satisfied. BUT ALL WAS NOT AS IT SEEMED.... I woke up the next morning with no appetite. I thought this was no big deal since I'd eaten a massive late dinner the night before. Around 10 a.m., I started getting a killer headache. I thought I might be hungover, even though I hadn't drank that much the night before. In the middle of a meeting that morning, I started getting really nauseous, and then projectile vomiting. I let my friends from the previous night's dinner know I wasn't feeling well. It turned out another had been vomiting profusely all morning, and another felt very sick as well. The common thread was Osteria Bolognese. Unfortunately, since we all basically ate everything, it's hard to narrow down with precision which dish was the culprit. We suspect the clams. I obviously will not be going back here.

The first time I walked by the Osteria, it was closed. The second time, it was a Wednesday (when…read morethey don't take reservations) good luck getting a table. The third time I made a reservation 2 weeks in advance, the reservation was made a few days before my last day in Brussels. Thank goodness I made that reservation! I've never been to Italy, but Osteria Bolognese was the best Italian meal I've ever had. My friend and I shared a few dishes. The ragu, a popular dish, was light and flavorful. The tortellini were perfectly filling. The spritz was a Bolognese take on Aperol and it was delicious. The founders claim that the ingredients are flown into Brussels daily from Bologna and I have no reason not to believe them! When you go, expect your dinner to last all evening and make friends with the staff. Don't miss this place next time you're in Brussels!

Yesterday, I ordered a scallops and vegetable linguine with a cream sauce. It was excellent and made to perfection! Others had American, risotto and a calzone. Everyone loved their dishes as well. We also ordered dessert, some tiramisu and other panna cotta. The tiramisu is just how I like it--quite solid, not runny in the least! It tastes close to how I make it (Italian recipe). Service is excellent but a bit slow for the lunchtime hour--most people coming in are on lunch breaks/for a lunch meeting so I'd expect it to move just a bit quicker (we were out for about 2 hours) but, on the other hand, it's nice to not rush back to work. Ambiance is tasteful and comfortable and there is a terrace outside for when the weather is nice.
