Usual tourist street place, food OK.

We made a reservation at very short notice and the staff warmly welcomed us in immediately. Prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious. I had the Arrabbiata and that had a good level of spice but others in our party had pizzas which we could tell were properly home made. The bread they brought to the table was warm and absolutely delicious too! Would definitely recommend to anyone else.

The service was good despite being full. In the case of the food, it was good, I liked it, specially the bread given as an entree.

My friend and I found only one of the three servers who looked after us to be genuinely friendly and helpful. We were very disappointed with the saltimbocca veal cutlet; it was generous but rubbery, and the accompanying glass of red wine was unfortunately harsh. The bread rolls were clearly from the day before and were still cold from being taken out of the fridge. We will not be returning, nor would we recommend this place.

Overall our experience was very good. We were seated promptly with our reservation, our order was taken promptly and our food was delivered in a timely way. The house white wine was very good. The pastas were good sized and tasty, however the pizza was a stand out.

I enjoyed the parmigiana specially with the hot pizza bread that comes with it …perfect for mopping your plate the scarpetta way. Whenever staff and music is authentic Italian, the food is tastier.

Pizzas were good, so I gave 5/5. Inside was not so warm, and place was too small that waiters can disturb you while passing. They don't speak English and don't give tap water.
Gabbiani RealiHello! **"Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed our pizzas. We apologize if the atmosphere felt uncomfortable and if the space was a bit cramped. We’re always looking for ways to improve the guest experience. Regarding the language barrier, we’re working on better communication with all of our guests. As for tap water, we don’t serve it due to the quality of the local water, and we prefer to offer alternatives for health reasons. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again for an even better experience!"**

Poor kitchen with no olive oil
4.5
The restaurant is located in a nice area. The service and quality of food was bad. We ordered 3 pizza and too much salt. We also ordered a pasta “in Bianco”. It was probably cooked hours before. For an Italian restaurant these are basic requests and standard should be better.
Gabbiani Reali"We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service and food quality. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future."

Gabbiani Reali"We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We appreciate your feedback and will address these issues to improve our service. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience in the future."

Lovely food, good service except when we asked for the bill. It would appear that being paid wasn't so important. In the end we accosted a member of staff so we could pay, but only after asking 3 times.
Gabbiani Reali"Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service, but we're sorry to hear about the delay with the bill. We take your comments seriously and will work on improving this aspect of our service. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time!"

Uninterested staff, automatically routine restaurant. Not really Italian. Unsociable place. A waste of money!

Not fine dining but good standard Italian pasta and pizza. Visited twice and enjoyed both times. Drinks very reasonable compared to other restaurants in the historic district.

Insalata Caprese: Tomotoes watery, buffala good, but served as big blob. Linguini Frutta de Mare: Tomato sauce harsh, too many mussels broken, shrimp rubbery. House red: acceptable.

Our second visit to this lovely restaurant just a short walk from the Grand Place. The staff are very attentive and humourous too. The service was perfectly timed for our group of 5.

Found this little place through online reviews and it ended up being 2 min from my hotel! While the majority is Italian food there is also some traditional Belgium choices including my amazing mussels and fries! My husband is a pizza connoisseur and found his veggie pizza very very good. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Easy to get redo. Very central. Highly recommend!

Starters and main course very good. House wine not bad at all. We were upstairs with two other tables so not much atmosphere and pretty stark surroundings- not a Christmas decoration in sight considering it was the 18th December!

Absolutely delicious pizzas. The four cheese pizza was amazing and my sons loved the Margherita pizza. However they were busy and the staff understood very little English (appreciate we aren't in England!), didn't understand we had a reservation or our drink orders (despite pointing at the menu). They were very busy and rushed, however the service was fast and food amazing.

Restaurant in Brussels main tourist zone. Not haute cuisine, but friendly and efficient service and reasonable pricing. Main courses between 12 and 20 euro. Inexpensive and perfectly drinkable house wine.
