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.

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.

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.

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.

Service was good, food was tasty, and it was very good value. It's a casual atmosphere, The menu is pretty typical for Italian restaurants, but everything was good and the portions generous.

Top notch food. Pizza was one of the best i ever had (gartuffo or something). And the fresh baked bread was a relieve after getting stale bread everywhere. Would definitely recommend

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!

The food was excellent as was the house wine. Excellent value for money. The staff willing on a very busy evening. Only minor issue was the draft from the door as it regularly opened.

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.

Excellent mussels. The chef even came out to listen to our order. Accommodating to children's requests.
