From Instagram: The 'Nduja and Lemon pasta is a signature year-round favorite dish at NONA Pasta restaurants in Brussels. It features fresh spaghetti alla chitarra tossed with spicy Calabrian 'nduja pork sausage, fresh lemon, and Parmigiano Reggiano, with an option to top it with creamy stracciatella. I love that this restaraunt has an onsite pasta atelier. They keep to traditional Italian recipes while sourcing local ingredients for a true farm to table experience. The end result, a masterpiece! Everything's fresh, authentic and flavorful. This particular dish, in my opinion is the star of the show. It IS somewhat spicy without being overbearingly hot...this is part of the allure. I'm sure that I'll visit again before leaving Brussels and will, yes - order the exact same dish! Must eat outside and do a bit of people watching as visitors transit the city center. While busy I was seated as soon as I arrived and service was great. The ultimate experience. Give it a try!

The quaint…read moreatmosphere, dark lighting, clean atheistic and unwillingness to be chain-like all while still delivering quick and effortlessly delicious pasta is a marvel. They truly have trapped magic in a bottle. The menu isn't large but they do also have a rotating seasonal menu that accompanies it. All the dishes on the main menu are Italian classics done right. Most dishes have pork or beef. The pasta tasted very fresh and the portions were what you would want of a good Italian restaurant, plentiful. My "white" ragú was packed full of flavor and the beef was tender. The pecorino cheese used was perfect. All in all, this is the type of place that is always busy and with good reason. Since they don't take reservations lines do form at the front of both sister locations on the same block. Make the line, it moves fairly quickly. And if it doesn't it is still well worth it.

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.

The majority of pizza choices were either veg/ seafood or ham - nothing with chicken and one of my local colleagues suggested the owners were Northern Italian and hence regionally less likely to use chicken for cooking. My Vesuvio pizza (I may have name incorrect, but it was last option on the pizza listing) had spinach, Gorgonzola, and salami. Liked the thin crust and it was decent even if the cheese became a little rubbery as it cooled down. My colleagues got margarita and vegetarian pizzas and said it was pretty decent. It's pretty big pizza for the price (between €8 to €15) and I took my leftovers home. Between the 6 of us for pizzas and drinks was €85, so not around 15 bucks per person isn't too bad. I would probably come back here again compared to some of the other Italian places in the neighborhood. Btw, this restaurant is somewhat unique as they have a dedicated parking lot, but it becomes super busy at lunchtime and so overflow parking can be found across the road. Also we ate in their outside seating area and this was lovely on a hot day.
