Our first night in Bruges brought us to Osteria 45. We were greeted by the Sicilian owner and felt…read morevery at home. Since I can speak Italian, he was extra kind to my son and me. The place is clean, comfortable, and smells of excellent Italian cooking. My son had the pizza Margherita and I had a pasta dish. Overall, the food was really good. I didn't think I was actually in Italy, but we left happy. My son was on a mission to find the perfect pizza margherita. This wasn't it, but he scarfed it down none the less. No complaints. Give it a try.

It is hard for me to admit, but we came to Osteria 45 after 13 days in Italy, and Osteria had…read morebetter pizza than we had anywhere in Italy. The veggy pizza was covered with zucchini and eggplant, the ripest tomatoes, and lots of basil, just the right amount of onion and sauce and cheese. The crust was excellent. This is a very busy place with lots going on, so you have be make yourself known to get attention. We took our pizza out because they were full, so did not get to experience the service. It was pretty crowded inside. There was no outside seating.

One star is really pushing it. We all had to order and were not allowed to split a pizza. We were…read moretold the manager said no one could split a pizza. That started the dislike. We were tired and hungry and really didn't want to take our frustration out on the waitress. We should have paid for our drinks and just left. It took another 15 minutes for any one to come and finally take our order. The pizza was just mediocre and we ordered two plus the pomodora pasta. It's was absolutely nothing special. God bless the waitress but she had no sense of urgency and not sure she really cared. We asked a couple of times for bill and it finally came. Do yourselves a favor and stay clear of this place.

With a pretty good selection of various sandwich combos, this place seemed as good as any. Almost all the tables outside were full up and people seemed to be munching away. I chose to get the Caesar Sandwich (the Tropical would have been my second choice) because I've been craving Caesar salad, and the wife got just a chicken sandwich. The service was quick and great. The food was just so so though. The Stella was a touch skunky and tasted a bit off. The sandwich, while yeah, it was fine, did have a good amount of brown edged pieces of lettuce I wasn't too keen on. This place isn't terrible by any means. And yeah, there's a solid selection. So if you're looking for a quick sandwich. This is not a terrible option. I might suggest avoiding the cheap Stella though.
