    Small intricate place with a great vibe. Waitress was excellent and so friendly. Great wine recommendation after asking us what flavours we typically look for when drinking wine. The food was excellent, bruschetta, onion bread, pappardelle pasta with wild boar ragu and a homemade tiramisu to finish. You won't be disappointed with any of these choices. Don't be put off, slightly away from busier district but that makes it a hidden gem.

    The food is the best Italian in Brussels and the paired wines are a big plus.

    Love this place, best Italian food and wine in Brussels. However it takes over an hour to get your food as there is only one server for a full house. The service is very friendly but even on a weeknight you’ll need to be very patient.

    I've been going to this restaurant for years, and the food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. Bonus, I usually ask to pair the wines with the food and the selections are on point. Great place for all occasions and definitely a cozy little corner to discover.

    This intimate location (maybe 20 seats) was a most pleasant surprise! The food was fantastic (BEST we have ever had in Brussels) made with love and served with care and a smile!

    We hadn’t pre-planned a dinner, and we were only here for a celebratory weekend. We had hoped to go to La Fringale, only to find out it was closed, so we had to try and find a plan B! On a whim, we tried a booking at Winehouse Osteria and luckily got one. Honestly…it’s the kind of restaurant that was so impressive, it would make me want to specifically travel back to Brussels just to eat here. The service was beyond attentive - the right amount of presence without encroaching on your space and experience. The warm welcome, the expertise, and the obvious genuine passion for their craft made the experience next level. The food was scrumptious. Our very fussy 10 year old demolished her food like it was her last meal. And, considering I had 9 tiramisus in 10 days just a few weeks ago in Italy, this was the BEST TIRAMISU I HAVE EVER EATEN. Lastly…the wine! It was exceptional, all the better for the expert recommendations of the sommelier-level staff. If there’s one word - incredible.

    The wait time for service once you’re on the table is too long. Food in very mediocre and pasta was not done and cold.

    if you are the last of 6 tables of 2 people arriving almost at the same time a little bit of waiting time has to be expected cause we are not a fast food chain, everything is cooked on the spot. We are normally pretty fast but there are special conditions (e.g. many tables of 2 people that arrive at the same time) that can sometime temporarily slow down the service. Instead of getting nervous for this you should appreciate the fact that real food is not instant to be made. For the quality of the dishes people can read the tons of other reviews, you can obviously have your own opinion but we do not feel the need to comment.

    This is a small, boutique Italian restaurant. Service and food were great and the wine list very good - waiter/sommelier seemed knowledgeable and made good recommendations. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    Booked at short notice, our party of four wasn't expecting much but we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the service. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine and the food was superb: a small menu, but all cooked to perfection. A quirky layout with just a few tables in the restaurant added to the cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    Had high expectations and unfortunately they were not met. Some dishes were good, but others nothing special. Disappointed that several wines were unavailable. Space was very cramped and so uncomfortable.

    Superb food and excellent service with a great knowledge of the wines on offer. A small but very cosy restaurant with an ambient atmosphere made our stay very special. An Italian family so the food was made to perfection. The papardelli with wild boar and gnocchi were delightful. If we're ever back in Brussels this restaurant will be our first port of call.

    I thought you can’t mess up Italian food. It’s was very bland. No flavor.

    Winehouse Osteria

    well not a very helpful review. no description of what you have eaten.... on the other side we know we don't do the very traditional italian food so not always easy to understand and sometimes people used to carbonara and amatriciana get lost... we know a risk we take

    Lovely little restaurant. Wine was exceptional. Enjoyed my meal and my daughter loved hers as well. Husband wasn't a fan of black pasta but he'd also never had it before. Would go again!
