Really fantastic restaurant experience! The food was original and really delicious (we licked the plate clean!) and the service was extremely friendly and charming, in a family-like relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a chilled, informal, al fresco, yummy meal :)
Very good home cooked italian food. The wine an desserts were also great! Go when the weather is nice, so you can enjoy the garden!
A lovely, cosy place! The food is deliciously fresh and light. And the staff is very friendly. They took their time to provide excellent service from the moment we entered the restaurant. We felt welcome and at ease surrounded by paintings and cook books. Can't wait to enjoy a meal in their garden during summertime.
Fresh ingredients, friendly and welcoming staff, cute place but small portions, slow service, very limited menu options, high prices. Vitello tonnato (as one of the just three mains on the menu!) 20 euros, average taste. Pizza bianca with pancetta and puntarelle: one of the three starters on the menu was essentially a sandwich at 14 euros!
A super friendly familial restaurant. The chef Alessio cooks with love and gusto and this is shown in the tastes.
Don't be fooled by the outside look, once you're in the restaurant, this cosy place, the friendly service and the food will win you over.
Will definitely try to go back!
Delicious, cozy, and kind and efficient service! A perfect location for dates of dinner with friends or family. We can only recommend it here.
Overrated and overpriced place. Very average food by Italian standards and our own home standards. Nice terrace and lovely staff but still a disappointment, especially as it was recently described in the press as one of Brussels' best summer terraces.
Delicious food and impeccable service. Very attentive and kind, all for a more than reasonable price. I look forward to going back.
