A great family dining option!…read more If you are ever in Ghent and find yourself with a hungry child, pre-teen, early teenager - the dinner options at 5:30 or 6 pm can be few and far between. In fact, most of the restaurants do not reopen for dinner service until after 6:30. Not Otomat. They're open from lunch onward until closing 10 or 11 pm (depending on the night of the week). This makes Otomat a lifesaver for families like our looking to feed a hunger panged child. Oh, and don't be mislead by my chronologically direct review - the food is darn good . . . and, it's so much more than just pizza (fear not gluten-free eaters!). The salads and non-pizza offerings are all gluten-friendly. In addition to a nice selection of noshing items - they also have a long list of beers by the bottle and draft, as well as wine, cocktails and house made lemonade. Finally, the convenient location and super friendly staff make Otomat a great place for a easy late lunch or early dinner - or anytime meal for traveling families.

Good little spot with delicious thin crust pizzas. They get packed up quickly with people right…read moreafter they open so expect a wait or be willing to sit outside. There are a lot of vegan options but I think the minced meat one might be the best of them all. Margarita was a bit bland.

Great tasting salads and a simple selection of mostly vegetarian pizzas (some meat options)…read more Service is fantastic. They had some good beers but not a lot of the typical beers you find at many restaurants. You can eat outside next to a canal with some cool graffiti and it's right next door to bar Elmo. This is off the beaten path so I totally recommend it.

Cozy family restaurant, run by a husband and wife. Four of us tried a variety of pizzas, pastas,…read moreand salads and everything was great. Prices were very reasonable. House wines were very good and well worth the price. It's a bit out of the way from the typical tourist spots, but worth the trip. Plenty of vegetarian options. Not a lot of tables, I can imagine it might get very busy at times and you could wind up waiting a bit but service was prompt and pleasant. The best dinner we had in Ghent!

Amazing Pizza at a great price. Thin crust with very fresh vegetables. "The Milano" is fantastic!…read moreOwners / Staff are very nice. Slightly less expensive over other places in the City, large serving, I give them 5 stars!!

Regarding the pizza-- loved it. Had the pancetta. Comes with thin slices of onion with pesto all…read moreover. Did not think I'd like the onion. But it was great. As for sauce and cheese--- great balance of tastes. Pizza is my favorite food and there are a lot of bad places that don't know what they are doing. But this pizza was really very good- just like in Sicily- though they didn't have Ricotta or have any eggs as a topping. But this is Belgium.

Food very good, service good too…read more Mainly pasta and pizza here. A french coworker complains that is all italian restaurants serve. Maybe that's true in some countries, but not what i am used to. I had the one veal dish on the menu vitello tartufato. Very good flavor in a creamy sauce, with tender veal. I came with a nice size side portion of pasta. The pasta was great. So if you are looking for pasta you will have MANY excellent choices, but the one veal dish is worth the walk too.

Ok Italian place. Truffle ravioli was good. Floor had a lot of dust under the table. Limited…read moregluten-free options. Not bad, but tough competition in this neighborhood with so many great restaurants.

Fantastic food. Owner is sensible but has no control over staff…read more Waiter was racist (Indian descent) and mumbled whilst dealing with us and kept denying us basic condiments (salt pepper, ketchup) waiter was insulting and rude.
