This delightful restaurant was the standout of all the places we ate in Brussels. 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.

NONA PIZZA FLAGEY AVENUE GÉNÉRALE DE GAULLE/GENERAAL DE GAULELAAN 3, 1050 IXELLES, BRUSSELS We had the pizza with spicy pork and it was excellent. As good as Little Italy in the USA. The real deal. One of the best meals we had on vacation in Brussels. Staff was nice and everyone around us was enjoying their food too. Cute little lake out front with a dirt trail around it to walk on after you eat. Will return for more pizza!

Is quite handy, I can make a phone call on my way home and then go and pick it up but I think they also deliver. The pizzas are really good and tasty, they have some interesting pizza ideas but if you want something different just let them know your favorite ingredients and you'll have your pizza. The service is also nice.

Pizza and pasta were both absolutely okay (maybe pizza was a better choice in retrospective, but both good), and the tiramisu was actually pretty good. A bit on the expensive side but acceptable. Service was a bit rough... but when we switched from English to Italian it became good. Be warned ;)

I ordered 7 pizzas, asked for them to be precut, and received friendly service in English, which was an added bonus for some of us less fluent in French. I arrived a the scheduled time, and the pizzas were hot and ready. When I brought them to the team, everyone agreed that they were super delicious. The one down side was that parking is not easy in that location, but fortunately I brought a colleague with me and was able to drive around. The crust on the pizza was a huge hit with all the colleagues.

The place is a family run restaurant, and we had amazing service and food. The pasta was fresh and the variety a plus - but the best pasta on the menu by far is the truffle mushroom pasta.

When we got to the restaurant, we were seated outside promptly. Our waiter was really nice and explained the menu to us. I don't usually like salads, but I felt like I needed some greens after eating heavy Belgian food. We decided to go with the mixed salad with ham, and I'm so glad we did! This salad deserves 5 stars honestly. The dressing was amazing, and the ham added a nice salty touch. For pastas, we got the spaghetti with spicy Calabrian sausage and burrata and the ravioli with osso buco. The pastas were definitely cooked al dente - I preferred the spaghetti. The ravioli had good flavor, but it was sitting in so much oil that I couldn't eat too many. It was a solid meal overall, but I didn't think the pastas were anything life-changing. Great place if you're craving some Italian food though!
