I don't say I'm a gourmet or foodie, but I go to restaurant 1-4 times a month, more when on holiday…read moreabroad. Still, this is probably the best restaurant I've visited in my life, or at least in the last 10 years. I'm someone who don't like many things. When I go to restaurants, most times, I order the exact same simple menu, consisting of beef, fries, cheese croquettes where available, and Dame Blanche as a desert. The croquette was really tasty but was not too tasty. Then I ordered a simple steak with a pepper sauce. It was really tender, cooked exactly as requested, and it's taste was so good I ate most of it without sauce. It came with French fries which were hand-cut, unlike in almost all restaurants. There was also salad which tasted real good, and I am not a salad amateur. Finally, I ordered a simple dame blanche. The vanilla ice-cream was really something, even better than what you get in most ice-cream places. The chantilly was -- I think -- home-made, but I could be wrong. Nothing to say about the chocolate, but I'm not the best to judge that. All in all, it's not the cheapest restaurant ever, but I really don't regret any cent I paid, and I will go there again. I prefer going seldom to a restaurant where the food gives you a couple hours of pleasure, than wasting money on a cheaper but tasteless experience.

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.

Coffee cold by the time the waffle arrived. Staff was not organized and very unfriendly. It was busy but the place was not completely full. It was the Brussels Flower Festival but that should not be an excuse. Every customer deserves the service and quality they pay for. This break was a waste of money. Will not be going back there.

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!

This is a very nice place for a lunch or evening dinner. I've discovered it with Yelp and it's…read moreexactly as described: cosy and rustic class. I'd love it. Lots of other classy people discussing about the food telling they love it means you're at a great restaurant. No fussy service, no incomprehensible food, just, exactly what you wanted, what you ordered! So, I really recommend this little place that has a parking ( like the restaurant itself: small one)!

Nice mix of seafood and meat options for lunch and dinner. We had an amazing appetizer, croquettes of shrimp and also with a melange of 5 cheeses.
