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.

This must be my favorite spaghetti restaurant in the world. It is so Brussels. They pretty much…read moreonly serve spaghetti and drinks. With drinks I mean: good Belgian beer and nice wines. Don't expect a fancy place. It's more a café that also serves food. It's always rather busy, if you come just before opening time there are always people lining up in the street to get in. They're open late so very convenient if you want to grab a bite after watching a movie or so. They have spaghetti Bolognese, spaghetti with some kind of sea food (I think) and a vegetarian version with veggies. There's always freshly grated cheese served with the spaghetti. The regular plate is pretty big. They also serve a big size which is in my eyes a plate that can serve a family :-) This restaurant is also called "bij Pee Klak". When we're in the area we love to go there!

There is an extremely limited menu. The Bolognaise was ok but I have had better. They do not take…read morecredit cards as Yelp suggests.

Stepped into this restaurant on our way back from the Atomium & park, due to a down pouring of…read morerain. We were looking for a place for dinner and I am so glad we walked in. Delicious home made food. Better than some tourist trap Italian food I've had in Italy. Family restaurant. Only speak French & menus in French. Was open till 10pm. Locals eat here. Luckily there was a local eating there that spoke English & was kind & helped translate (but we also could just point to items & use our limited French vocabulary). We had the spaghetti bolognese & the carbonara. Both very tasty & good portions. They give you bread and butter on the house. Also had the tiramisu for dessert which was light & fine. Red table wine was smooth & good for price. Overall great value and delicious food!

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.

I left to find something else but tried my luck & coming back. Glad I did! They have wine, but as I was told, beer is their thing. The food was excellent and the staff are colorful and efficient as the flow between tables! I had the meatballs (2 large ones), meals come with a small salad and a side & bread! The beer selection is wide. Mostly Belgium ones. Other tables had what looked like delicious tuna, lasagna and stew which they all seemed to enjoy.

I am so sorry to not rave about this place like everyone else did…read more To start with the positives: -cute, cozy spot inside with a few outdoor tables. No reservations, so you have to wait in line. Luckily, the line moved pretty quickly and we were able to be seated inside. -service was great. The fabulously dressed flamboyant gentleman was kind and helpful. The sassy woman was hilarious! -Portions are pretty decently sized and priced fairly Why three stars? I just didn't enjoy anything that we ordered. Sadly, it was my least favorite meal that we had in Belgium. Based on all the reviews, I think it's clear that it's not the place per se, but what I was looking for. That being said, I still must be honest. What we ordered: Cheddar Croquettes (2 for 14 Euros): Just ok and this was one of the things that I felt was overpriced Carpaccio of Smoked Beef with White Truffle Oil (18 Euros): Again, just ok Meatloaf with "Jack Pepper" sauce (26 Euros): "Jack Pepper" means something different in Brussels. It was basically a peppercorn gravy. I wasn't a fan, but Jim G. enjoyed it. With this, we had frites and a small side salad. I know many people recommend that Flemish Beef Stew, but we already had that at Fin de Siecle, and I couldn't imagine that any place would top it, so we didn't get it here. Ultimately, this place isn't for me, but I seem to be in the minority.
