Staff are very friendly and do a great job of taking care of everyone. They start you off with their signature olives and fresh bread. We started off with some great mixed salads before our meals. The pizza is simply some of the best thin crust woodfire pizza I've had. I had the Regina - ham, mushrooms, mozzarella and my Pops had the vegetarian pizza which was excellent. The escalope Milanese was also really good, accompanied with fries or pasta as you wish. The final dish on the table was the linguine bolognese which was simple perfect. A truly great Italian experience in a very special location on Lac Genval.

I was invited to meet a friend at this place but didn't have high expectations. Checked their menu…read moreonline and it looked like just another Italian restaurant with simple pizza and pastas on the menu. But then,you never know what hides behind simplicity which is sometimes the best. The restaurant interior looked cozy with a pizza oven at the entrance to welcome you. Apparently they brought it from Italy and it's a special type but forgot the name As the weather was great we sat outside on their lovely terrace. The decor resembled like a sea side beach bar. We ordered some house wine to start out our night with and bruschettas with aubergine paste. The wine was chilled which is not my favourite way to serve red wine but it didn't ruin the flavour in the end. The bruschettas come 3 per portion but are quite big with alot of topping (aubergine with grilled cheese and a cherry tomato on top). Very tasty. As main I took the Melanzane alla Parmigiana. The dish came in a cast dish and right out of the oven. The tomato salsa was very delicious. Mixed with melted cheese and one can tell it's home made. The aubergines though weren't fried or cooked before going to the oven which made them a bit chewy. However,the taste was there. When we asked for the desert they didn't bring us the menu; they brought a tray full of different deserts to chose from. I took the Creme bruleé which was very light, perfect ending to the warm summer night dinner.

Friendly service, quaint atmosphere and solid prices. Check out their website for hours. They are closed on Wednesday's and their hours fluctuate by day. They often open at 630PM for dinner but have noticed they are occasionally open for lunch as well. What can I say, Italian in Belgium... The portions are very generous. You can easily share a plate and still be satisfied. I enjoyed the carbonara. A little "wetter" than expected but still delicious. One of my companions order a mac & cheese type meal that looked fantastic. I so wish I could read french and note which dish it was. Essentially included some other spicy meats and tasted delecious. There pizza is also very good and they have a large variety. Tip for Americans visiting: The margarita pizza is simply a cheese pizza. I mistakenly thought it would include fresh mozzarella and no red sauce. I was mistaken! But still a excellent pie. Recommend a visit.
