Very nice ambiance. Non-traditional Italian food. The management was excited and very friendly. I would have loved to have bought a bottle of wine for my partner and I - but didn’t get the opportunity. For some reason, we were also not given bread like everyone else (no big deal) The dishes were quite unique (I’ll be honest, not my favorite menu ever) but it was cool. I would have liked to have known what in the world I was eating. I didn’t really love waiting for the check for 45 minutes and asking 3-4 times - although having lived in Italy I get the culture. I recommend leaving the beetroot dish in the kitchen. Dessert was amazing!!

The restaurant is very cozy and general ambiance feels comforting and nice. Food took me back to Italy, fresh high quality, and amazing combination of ingredients. Pino is an amazing chef but also a wonderful host that will make your experience 10 times better. 100% recommend this place if you're in Brussels. Just perfect!

This is clearly one of my favorite restaurants in Brussels! Pino is imaginative, fun and generous. The food is always delicious. It is not inexpensive, but it is worth every Euro. You can never go wrong here.
