      This local restaurant is located on a beautiful square with seating available inside and outside weather permitting. I travel to Brussels for work and made a point to stop in here on my next visit. When you walk in, the smell of the food is immediate and appetizing. The tables are a bit close and it can be a bit tight to get around, but I also felt this is part of its charm.

      My friend and I split a bruschetta. It was delicious, but a little pricy for what it was. I enjoyed the veal parmigiana for taste, but it was delivered to the table slightly cold. The red sauce and fettuccine that came with it was delicious. My friend had the linguine and clams and he seemed to enjoy it very much. The pizzas around us looked delicious too. We both enjoyed a glass of the pinot nero, but I didn't think it was that great of a wine.

      I would have no problem going back here, but understanding it's just a slightly above average place with a busy atmosphere and great patio. Seems to be you have to know what to order and arrive with the right expectations. For the price, you may be able to find something nicer.

      Very fresh, very good!!! Lovely evening - the food was amazing. The stuff was super fast and friendly.
      The tiramisu was probably once of the best I've ever had (outside of Italy)..
      the starter ahm something called like scamorza was simply amazing!!! Not what we expected actually and that makes it even better... the pizzas were also very delicious. We definitely will be back.

      For the moment I just tried the pizza, but definitely a recommandable Italian restaurant.
      Service is great and friendly
      Place decoration is very warm with the colour layered palettes
      Pizza is fresh and filling.
      I've to try the other dishes
      Ps: you need to book in advance if you want to go end of the week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) or be patient if you need to wait for a table to get free
      Worth the try

      An average place set against a breathtaking square. The outdoors are fantastic - unfortunately the kitchen isn't. The pasta is absolutely overpriced for what it is. Service was slow and not particularly pleasant.

      Not worth the money you pay for it

      Overall decent but nothing spectacular...regular italian restaurant in a good location. Pasta seems OK, and the carpaccio unfortunately was not fresh.
      a bit over priced but luckily its location gives it a good atmosphere.

      Decent, but nothing more. As always overpriced, but good. portions to small. Belgian Italian, not authentic.

      Nice atmosphere, always busy. Great food with what tastes like fresh ingredients. Pizzas with bottle of the house wine and a tiramisu to share is my top tip.

      Can definitely give this place a top recommendation. They recently just changed their policy to start taking reservations so make sure to book in advance.

      We went there on a Wednesday night and ordered two pasta dishes. After an hour a different waitress told us that her colleague forgot to put in the food order and so she asked us what we want to eat. Long story short: We talked to the manager, he didn't offer anything than another 35 min wait. Everyone was extremely rude and they have no clue how to treat customers. We left and got food on the go.

      Tasty starters (eggplant bruschetta), delicious pizza, cool ambiance, and surprisingly hot spicy olive oil, relatively inexpensive for the overall experience.

      Only criticism is that it's not a place for beer, only Jupiler and Hoegaarden, in bottles, but who cares, it's right next to L'Ultime Atome.
