    Hair in the food and unapologetic. Have been to this restaurant multiple times and liked the food. We were here on Saturday as a family and ordered our dishes. The personnel convinced me for a special dish of the day and I ordered it. After 2 bites of the food, I found hair in the dish. My wife brought it to the notice of the waiter and she took my dish away only to bring the same food back on another plate. She said that the hair did not come from the staff but possibly from my wife or my daughter who was with me. Totally dismissive and no apologies at all. I refused to eat the dish and they just took away my plate. We refused desserts and told them about the pathetic service. Once again no apologies and in the end they offered a free drink which we refused. They charged me the full price of the dish with the hair. We just paid and left. Never again to visit this restaurant again. Because of my non-european background they did not feel like servicing me and my family rightly. Wish there was an option to give zero rating.

    Service was poor. We explained that we needed the meals to be gluten free in both English and French, the manager came over to talk to us and explained that the potato cakes would have flour but he could replace that for a gluten free pasta. We thought all would be good. After waiting for 45 mins our food finally arrived. Only one meal came with the promised pasta and it was the wrong one. The duck was supposed to come with only vegetables instead it was served with pasta and nothing else. The lamb was still served with the potato cakes and green beans instead of the white celery and leeks as stated on the menu. I usually decide on what I want based on what the menu says accompanies the dish, apparently this is a foolish thing to do. To top it all off no one ever came back to check on us. We still have no idea if the potato was deemed safe in the kitchen and that’s why they were left on the plate or if they simply confused the orders. Either way we didn’t want to chance eating them without confirmation and we’re never given the chance to ask. We waiting another 20 mins eagerly looking around the restaurant trying to make eye contact with the one server or the manager. Napkins covering our plates, clearly ready to leave. No one came, no one looked in our direction. We finally had to go stand by the front door to get our bill and leave. The lamb had a good flavour, the beans were cold and yet over cooked. The duck was tough and chewy. And although they were beautifully plated neither meal was served hot. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Very good Italian food!! Location of this restaurant is perfect: before going to the airport, crossing Brussels ring and need some good food, need a place that everyone can easily reach … On top, food is really good, service very gentle and good selection of wines!

    Great food, good building and decoration. Fast service, good staff. Upstairs very nice. Shame about the toilets though.

    overall fine, nothing special. the wine that they sold me for 32.5 EUR is priced at less than $10 ($6.5-$9.5), so beware.

    Lovely Italian restaurant Great family photos of the owner give it lots of warm vibes. You sit and enjoy the moment. And amazingly good dishes. I ate pasta with truffles and it was insanely good. And those homemade buns... Definitely must visit again.

    One big surprise on my short visit to Zaventem in Belgium, the Italian restaurant looked so beautiful from the outside so we had to get in, a very educated gentleman invited us in and said some words in Italian, later I learnt that he was actually the owner, a very nice and servicial person! After he found a table for us everything was perfect. Not the cheapest place in town but it was worth every cent! The food, grilled tuna in my case, was delicious and the service was always excelent! At the end they even let me go to the kitchen and say hello to the chef, so that was a very special detail and of course the owner and the waitress also came to say goodbye, and in Italian of course, Cheers from Costa Rica 😃👌

🫤 This is not fast food. I mean that you don't get your food fast at all. It could be that after a long day staff were tired since it was late in the evening anyway. Food itself was okay! 🤷‍♂️
