    Best pasta in Brussels and super nice staff!! You should book ~2 weeks in advance though they’re often fully booked

    Very tasty food. We had the asparagus and burratina for starters and the tagliatelle al ragù (the real spag-bol) and green tagliatelle al bosco as mains. By far they best dish were the green tagliatelle al bosco, with fresh porcini. The tagliatelle all ragù were true to the original Bolognese recipe. We drank the Naigarten red. Particularly good with ragù. Photo below, green tagliatelle with fresh porcini.

    In my opinion one of the best Italian places in Brussels. The staff is very friendly and the quality of food and wine is excellent! Totally recommended!

    What a joy when you find such a nice restaurant that makes you want to keep coming back. I was alone and the staff was so nice and welcoming, they set me up a small table for 1 on the pavement, talked through all the dishes and recommended their favourite. Great menu with only 5-6 pasta courses, none of the "classic" Italian abroad spaghetti Bolognese type courses but really authentic and delicious ones. The sausage ragu was delicious in its simplicity as only Italians can do it. 100% will be coming back next time I'm in Brussels

    Great place, authentic Italian atmosphere and vibe. Narrow, but that's probably part of the fun :) Reservation for our group was made few weeks ago; busy place. Food was good, although not as superb as I expected against price and high recommendations. Starters were wonderful. Main course scallopini with mushrooms was juicy, generally tasty, but very very salty. Place deserves a visit, definitely.

    Very nice family cuisine

  • 5/5 Omar G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is excellent and the service is great. It's expensive but worth it. I've been there several times and last time with a group of 10 for lunch.

  • 3/5 Cris A. 7 months ago on Google
    It was my second time and a bit disappointed. The first time was amazing, but this time the dishes were not so special and very expensive. The waiters are hyper nice!

  • 5/5 Beatrice R. 5 months ago on Google
    I’m from Bologna and I can say that the food is very good and authentic. Everytime I miss my city I pay a visit. I just wish it would be easier to find a free spot, you have to book weeks before to get a table.

    Very cozy restaurant. The food is great. Service is excellent. We went there half an hour before the open time on Wednesday night, there was already a line. Luckily, we got a table. Apparently, it is a first-come-first-serve policy on Wednesday night. Otherwise, you have to book a month-early in advance. That's how busy it is. So come early on Wednesday night to get the first round or come around 20.30 hr to get the second. It is worth the wait.

    Everything was perfect from a to z! Amazing staff! Amazing food! Good and cozy expérience ! Becoming my favorite pasta restaurant in town -Voila that simple 🥳👏 Ps: the green drink is a Spritz but way Better ☀️

  • 5/5 Andrea V. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic family run place in Brussels with flavours from Emilia Romagna region. One can feel himself at home and go through a journey of different tastes that will satisfy all palates. Book in advance since otherwise you may find yourself without seating 😬

  • 5/5 Alessia R. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant absolutely lives up to expectations. One of the few Italian restaurants in Brussels where you really eat Italian and very well.

  • 5/5 Uroš - Valentino S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing hosts, as you would walk into some osteria in Bologna, really authentic feeling and Italian hospitality. The food was delicious, pasta was handmade, homemade, and you can taste the difference. We had papardele con ragu di cervo, ana mezzelune, both splendid. Proposed wine from the region was great, and tiramisu as well.

  • 2/5 Yannis N. 1 year ago on Google
    What’s the hype about? Went for lunch with a big group of colleagues, we all agreed, it was nothing special. Certainly far from a memorable experience. Friendly service, that’s all. Plus prices have gone up (cheapest dish of pasta at 19 EUR!) which would have been totally fine, had the experience been commensurate.

  • 5/5 Spyridon Kakouris (. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food. And very fresh desserts as well.

  • 5/5 Milena S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the food, love the vibe, interior, owners. Everything. You can feel like you’re in Italy, not in Brussels. Grazie!

  • 5/5 Kristen Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Italian I’ve ever had. The staff is incredible and super friendly. 10/10 recommend.

  • 3/5 Simona B. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve only heard positive reactions to this place and was excited to try it, but I was really disappointed. Both our (different) pasta dishes were too salty and rather poor. Overpriced for what it was.

  • 5/5 Gid 1 year ago on Google
    If they have the pistachio ice-cream as daily special, don't think twice. You can thank me later.

  • 5/5 cobalducci 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious from start to finish, felt like home and on top of that the staff was so nice and welcoming

  • 5/5 Axel W. 2 years ago on Google
    My most favourite Italian place in Brussels. I can't even count anymore the numerous great dinner evenings that I have spent there with friends. Authentic food (my personal favourite: Tagliatelle al Ragù) and always a great ambiance. Sabrina and Giacomo are the nicest hosts you could ever meet. Missing you a lot! Keep up your passion and your great work!

  • 5/5 Alec Y. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best meals I have had in all of Europe! Great service too!

  • 4/5 A V. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the most characteristic Italian restaurant in Brussels, the quality of the food and of the wines is really high and the service in even more than friendly, it’s feels to be at home. Cozy and romantic it’s a good place also for a dinner in two, the only negative point are the glass of wine which are a bit pricey 6/7€ for a small glass it’s definitely not the pricey of an osteria.

👍👍 How in the world this shop doesn't have 5 stars. Come on people. One of the best in Brussels. It tops almost all the list in any internet blogs you may visit for the top10 Frites in Belgium and it deserves it. Taste is very crispy on the outside. Lots of place to sit with your friends outside to ha...
