I've been here a couple of times as it is located right down the street from my office on the…read moreGroot-Bijgaarden square and it is a good Italian restaurant but a bit pricier than what I expect for most Italian restaurants. Yesterday, I ordered a scallops and vegetable linguine with a cream sauce. It was excellent and made to perfection! Others had American, risotto and a calzone. Everyone loved their dishes as well. We also ordered dessert, some tiramisu and other panna cotta. The tiramisu is just how I like it--quite solid, not runny in the least! It tastes close to how I make it (Italian recipe). Service is excellent but a bit slow for the lunchtime hour--most people coming in are on lunch breaks/for a lunch meeting so I'd expect it to move just a bit quicker (we were out for about 2 hours) but, on the other hand, it's nice to not rush back to work. Ambiance is tasteful and comfortable and there is a terrace outside for when the weather is nice.

Classic example of unorganized, full of excuses waiters, understaffed kitchen that promise your…read morefood is coming in 5 minutes while you wait another 30+ minutes. Unless your time isn't worth a damn and you like being lied to don't bother with this place. I would critique the food but we still haven't gotten our food.

Pretty great discovery quite close to where I work!…read more A friend reserved a table for the 7 of us to eat here last night. I hadn't heard of it but knew it was Italian close to another good Italian restaurant I've been to a few times before. Service is fine (they seem to prefer speaking French over Dutch there and didn't switch when they heard us speaking English/Dutch so I assume their language capabilities may be limited?)...in any case, we waited a bit for drinks and food but nothing terrible and in all fairness they were busy. Atmosphere is quite nice/classy (but nothing you have to dress up for). We sat behind the restaurant on the terrace as it was beautiful so a shame to site inside ;) It was a well laid out terrace with a nice pond/fountain and seating was also pleasant. Food was what you'd expect for an Italian restaurant (not the best I've ever had but still good). They had good wines/bubbles available for drinks and a big selection of foods to choose from! I'd definitely recommend the pizza! They have so many different options, most around 10-12 eur! I shared a parmigana pizza and a pasta vongole. I like the pizza most (came with courgette and aubergine), the vongole was just ok...seemed to be lacking in flavor a bit, in my opinion. They also have a good selection of desserts, I can't say I wasn't tempted! Price came to about 20-25 per person, so very reasonable. I'll definitely go back with colleagues when we are in the mood for some high quality food that's easy on the budget!

Decent enough Italian restaurant. The food is okay, but there are many places in and around…read moreBrussels that do Italian a lot better.
