(Translated by Google) Italian restaurant in the center of Ghent. Located near the graslei. Restaurant not large, so reservations are advisable. Based on the reviews this seemed a must, but was in practice a bit disappointing. It is not bad, but not really authentic or wow-feeling when eating dishes (is just an average restaurant, there are finer Italian restaurants). It would be advisable to integrate something more finesse, finish and taste in the dishes, something you often can find in the real Italy. I had the feeling that the cook lost that initial (taste) feeling and drive that you often still taste when you really tour around in Italy. In short, I tasted Italian cuisine, but lacked that authenticity, taste and passion. There's work to be done. Regrettable. (Original) Italiaans restaurant in hartje centrum Gent. Ligt vlakbij de graslei. Restaurant niet groot, dus reserveren aan te raden. Op basis van de reviews leek dit een aanrader, maar viel in de praktijk toch wat tegen. Het is allemaal niet slecht, maar niet echt een authentiek of wow-gevoel bij het eten van de gerechten (is gewoon een gemiddeld restaurant, er zijn fijnere italiaanse restaurants). Aanrader zou zijn om iets meer finesse, afwerking en smaak in de gerechten te integreren, iets wat je wel vaak nog kan vinden in het echte Italië . Ik had het gevoel dat de kok wat dat initiële (smaak)gevoel en drive was verloren dat je wel vaak nog proeft als je echt in Italië rondtoert. Kortom, ik proefde een Italiaanse keuken, maar miste die authenticiteit, smaak en passie. Werk aan de winkel. Spijtig.

Had dinner for 2 and took two pizzas there. They were very good, thin dough with nice taste topped with very good & quality ingredients. Pizza from 13€ to 20€. Room is not huge so advisable to book before. Menu for drinks could be a bit bigger, I would have wanted some sparkling fresh red wine this evening but they had none. Very recommended !

Wonderful! We were craving pasta and Il Folletto did not disappoint! The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The waiter (might be the owner?) is from Italy and was great. He was very friendly and accomodating. We would definitely go back.

The best Italian taste we had in Gent.

Very good fresh Italian pasta. We arrived around noon and walked in without reservations. The host was very polite and asked us if we could wait for about 20 minutes, which was fine. Shortly after we were seated. We ordered the melanzana Al forno as antipasti, (a must), for primo piato we had the tartufo taglionini, tartufo tortelloni and the parmeggiana melanzana, and it was all superb. The food had an original taste with fresh ingredients and consistency, its not exactly cheap but if your looking for something special I think it's worthy. I would definetely recommend, and we will be back

(Translated by Google) I thought it was very good, the small place very well attended without loud music, the food with real Italian flavor will come back without a doubt (Original) Me parecio muy bueno el lugar pequeño muy buen atendido sin musica ruidosa los alimentos con verdadero sabor italiano regresare sin duda

Quiet place, delicious food and excellent service by António 😋

Tasty food, nice staff, cozy atmosphere. Portions a bit smaller for the price and since it is understaffed we waited a bit longer for the food

Cozy atmosphere, great food and personal service. Pasta is wonderful. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommend and would definitely go back.

A really charming intimate Italian restaurant with excellent food and friendly service. Make sure to book ahead to get a table or you'll miss out. A real treat and reasonably priced.

Excellent house made pastas. All marvelously prepared.

Very very good pasta. With generous amount of truffle. The special pasta with truffle was so good! Make sure you make a reservation since this place is often full.

Friendly people .. helpful n nice wine

We ordered pizza and II Folletto pizza. The place itself was really nice however the pizza and pasta were average. Nothing extraordinary.

Vert Nice restaurant where product are fresh, meals are good and not so expensive!

High quality Italian food for more than a reasonable price. Pizzas for 12 euro!!

Came back to Ghent for a trip, still the best tartufo pasta I’ve ever had! I recommend this restaurant for authentic Italian food experience. #tartufoking

Excellent choice for dinner. We had the Burrata with eggplant and the noodles with tomato and basil. The burrata was excellent and the eggplant that accompanied it was a great idea. Just wish it had been cooked a bit longer. The noodles that arrived actually looked like gnocchi but were not.
