Beställde charkuteritallriken som förrätt, lammragun och kalvscaloppinan. Lammet var tuggigt inte alls mört. Kalven var mycket tunn och hyfsad men inte gaffelmör för styckningen. Såsen på kalvköttet var smakrik. Husets vin var 8 euro ett glas för mindre än medelmåttigt vin som var varmare än temperaturen i huset. Det är ok för en måltid men inte minnesvärd det minsta. Service saknas den unga damen är mer intresserad av sin telefon än Service.

Bra mat, vänlig personal och pris / kvalitet?
Vi letade i området efter en italiensk restaurang och hittade le sans 13. I hjärtat av Matonge-grannskapet tvekade vi att vända tillbaka, men när vi kom fram välkomnades vi mycket vänliga. Aperitiva var generösa med en bruchetta och ibland färskt bröd. Vi ville beställa var och en anti-pasto, men rekommenderades att dela en, lyckligtvis var dince-delen stor nog fiende 2. Färska pålägg, burrata och geillef aubergine och zucchini. Huvudrätter var pasta med tryffel och pasta med svamp och korv. Vi tvivlade på ett glas eller en flaska vin, vinet skulle mätas med cm, så vi beslutade att ta en flaska. Vin var bra av kvalitet och tömde det ?. Flaskan var 18 euro, mycket bra priskvalitet. Vi kommer tillbaka under vår nästa vistelse i Bryssel.

En av de bästa italienska restaurangerna i Bryssel. Alla rätter är färska och gjorda framför dig. Och priserna är inte höga alls!

aaad6062-95ad-45c4-9b68-7eb528956add

Titeln säger allt. . .
Aperol Spritz eller Limoncello Spritz var en utmärkt start på vår natt
Bruschetta + bröd + olja var så bra jag ville begära mer
Scarmoza och Burrata som starter där det bästa jag har haft på länge.
Jag hade pasta con vongole och det var läckert, mina vänner hade pasta tartuffa och med tomat och de var alla mycket nöjda.
Jag hade en bra tid och min mage var också glad:) det öppna köket gör det fullt av attraktion.
Jag kommer snart tillbaka för att prova resten av menyn!

Detta är en pärla i en restaurang! Läcker italiensk mat till ett mycket rimligt pris för Bryssel. De har en vacker innergård i ryggen som gör att du känner att du har lämnat staden bakom ett tag. Vi hade tre fantastiska pastarätter och ett starter av äggplantaparmesan. En fin flaska Rose toppade det hela. Inget utrymme för öken.

Excellent. Alla kurser var mycket bra. Som en grupp av 10 vi var tvungna att välja en fast meny men fortfarande de val som erbjuds var stora. Förrätter mycket bra också. Trevlig personal. Solida och prisvärda viner. Högt rekommenderad.

Jo det är min åsikt ändå. Jag blev allvarligt blåses bort av kvaliteten på ingredienserna och smakerna i dessa traditionella recept. Gudomlig! Plåtar som kan låta så rakt framåt, men gosh när de är bra, de är så gudomliga - Plåtar av antipasto - prosciutto, aubergine, courgette, bruschetta, mozzarella och tomat, linser med chorizo följt av en trio pasta och risotto - orchiette med pesto, penne arrabiata båda med rätt mängd flakad chili, vitlök tillsammans med den bästa risotto jag har haft i år grundligt krämig med valnötter och ost prydda med radicchio.

Detta var allt i en enkel men elegant, liten restaurang och mycket vänlig mycket italiensk personal. Jag kände att jag hade blivit whisked bort till gastronomiska Italien för kvällen. Grundligt rekommendera.

Menyn var inte mycket bred men kvaliteten på maten var mycket bra. Vi åtnjöt den föreslagna lunchmenyn till ett rimligt pris i en mysig atmosfär. God italiensk mat.

a1b40e9b-2360-4caf-a144-b048e6384706

Lite svårt att hitta och det skulle vara värt att reservera en måltid på gården, men en mycket intressant plats och varierade rätter. Läs menyn på väggen när du anger. Fantastiskt bröd och god mat. De flesta rätter var mycket välsmakande, även om pasta skålen för en var överuppvärmd och pasta var krispig.

cc9d1e50-75b2-45ec-9c0e-e28ee26a28b1

Bra service, bra meny och härlig atmosfär. Boka framåt för utsidan. Massor av vegetariska rätter.

Med en grupp av 10 gick vi till denna härliga autentiska italienska restaurang i mitten av Matongue kvartalet. God mat, bra presentation (alla tog bilder), bra service. Bara lite hick - upp med vinet (inte året tillkännagav på tavlan, lite yngre) som var med ett minimum av förhandling åtgärdad. Rekommenderad!

2ec80d00-8cac-431a-bd19-99157eac3dba

Mysig restaurang med " förslag " som var mycket aptitretande.
Om det är fint väder bra, det finns en trevlig terrasse med parasoller.
Bra alternativ för den Matonge område.

7156749f-679d-4e9c-8cc7-b051cf0feb83

Man kanske inte tänka på detta område i Bryssel värd, men i själva verket finns det fantastiskt enkelt restauranger i matonge område.

Denna restaurang är inget undantag det är fantastiskt italiensk mat, som om tillagade av en äkta italiensk Mama.

Öppna kök, roliga sarkastisk men vänlig service, och diskret atmosfär!

Detta är ett underbart adress! ! Inte att missa! !

296a0571-95ca-4900-898e-2074e924a5c9

Pris/kvalitet klokt det här är en av mina bästa tips för italienska maten i Bryssel. Servicen är alltid vänlig och inget trams och den kocken förbereder sin mat i en öppen kök.

Jag bor i närheten och jag blir en återkommande kund och har aldrig blivit besviken. Men glöm inte hit om du förväntar dig ett utstuderat vinlista eller formella service. Detta är en utmärkt varje dag restaurang.

23dc9457-0189-4db5-8ec1-fe116e639323

Ett ställe att besöka i Bryssel, ett mycket trevligt välkomnande av Frédéric och en mycket mysig atmosfär. God mat, fina viner. Härlig atmosfär.

This restaurant in Belgium was my family's favorite Italian restaurant! My family background is Italian born and raised. When we got there the service was so polite to my family and knew we were Italian because my dad said Bongiorno! The food was amazing, everything we ordered was outstanding. Plated beautifully, cooked well, and sauces were excellent! The Ambiance was gorgeous, they had an inside and outside seating area, both were great! The restaurant made me feel like being home with my family and making Italian food! Totally worth it!

Actually came across this place on accident. Glad my friends and I stopped in. Very aesthetic feel when you walk in. The service was fantastic although the language barrier. The chef a big smile on his face and made us feel welcome. They also shared with us a free app to try which was delicious! The menu is so creative and after eating we thought the food was excellent. Will definitely be back!!

- Price/Quality: Specialties are pasta and meat. Prices vary. You can order delicious pastas just below 10 euros but if you go for their sophisticated dishes with fish or truffle, you will end up closer to 15 euros.

- Health: There is cheese involved but after 3 courses, I didn't feel bloated. I think they try not to exaggerate, which I like.

- Pleasure: I looved the carpaccio di manzo and melanzane alla parmigiana!

- Quantity: After my affogato (ice cream wit an espresso on top), I was fully satisfied.

- Variety: Together with the suggestions, there was a great variety of meat, pasti and antipasti, vegetarian also, to enjoy.

Had two very enjoyable meals here during my time in Brussels. Got the same thing both times the linguine with clams. It was absolutely delicious I couldn't resist it. I also tried an appetizer which included prosciutto and mortadella. I also got a dessert which I can't remember the name of but which was basically what we'd call a chocolate lava cake with a side of ice cream. This place was probably my favorite restaurant in Brussels and if I'm ever back there again I'm going here

As I sit here in my hotel writing this I can tell you that this was so good I will go there today again for either lunch or dinner, maybe both. We came across this after hunting for another Italian restaurant in a rather sketchy neighborhood that happened to be closed. So a short stroll took us to a much nicer area and this little gem. Walking in you see that its small but very clean and modern with only a few folks working. Our server who was also prepping side dishes and desserts was very welcoming and fortunately for us spoke excellent English. He took the time to explain all the dishes on the walls (no menus - very cool!) and helped us with some recommendations. Since I have a shellfish allergy this is really huge for me. 

We each started with a tomato bruschetta which was excellent and had a kick from the addition of red pepper flakes. I'm totally stealing that idea. It was drenched in olive oil and yes I licked my fingers. Hell Yeah! For my main I settled on Escalop a'la Truffle which is essentially a veal cutlet dish in a rich brown gravy served with a side of fresh fettuccine and topped with a generous portion of fresh truffles. This dish was excellent and the portion was very good and the price even better. My wife ordered Lamb ragout with fresh pasta but forgive me i forgot the name. Ill look later and edit if I can remember. It was excellent as well and really a generous plate of food. She actually stated that this was the best and most tender lamb she has ever had. I have to agree that it was succulent and it literally fell apart and had no fatty sections running through it. Excellent quality of ingredients and preparation. We shared a bottle of red wine and they only charge you for what you drink. Of course being from Spain I made sure we finished it. The price on the wine was very reasonable at I think 19 Euro. No price gouging like they do in the USA. 

Dessert is of course the most important meal of the day. :) We ordered the tiramisu and the panacotta. The tiramisu was served in a glass which I have not seen before and was amazing. I think this might be the best way to eat it. There is coffee liqueur in the bottom and the cream was very light and airy. The lady fingers were in there on the side and you can see that a lot of thought went into both the texture and the presentation. A+. The panacotta was layered with I think a raspberry sauce and was also very good though tart which I really like but some may not. Its also a very good dish but I think the tiramisu stole the show and overshadowed the dessert. It came with mint leaves and dont be silly and discard them. Eat the leaves with bites and it really balances out the dish. 

Overall I have to say this is a truly great place and you can see the love that goes into the food here. Be sure to let em know if you love it. It really makes their day to see you leave happy. I cant wait to go back for my next dish.

Well-known lunch spot in the area but opened also some evenings for dinner.
The place is nicely decorated and the staff is always very friendly.
They welcome you with a small amuse-bouche like a bruschetta, which is always appreciated!
I have tried only their pasta and I was never disappointed. The food is good, portions are big and it is very affordable. I am always too full to even think of the desserts! Their wine is also good.
They also have a terrace on the back for spring-summer.
Definitely recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with the caterer for a private party once and even though I lived down the road from the restaurant, I was surprised I had never heard of it... What a lovely discovery! 
Great choice of pastas, sauces, antipasti, desserts, wine by the cm, and a little amuse bouche to get things started.
Totally worth a detour from Boniface for their excellent food at excellent prices!
Service is really good. The restaurant is also laid out in a way that you never feel like its super packed. 
While the pasta may not be homemade, it is the italian packaged variety (one presumes this keeps the costs down), and the owner is Italian and an astute young businessman, behind the counter.
Another little Brussels gem!

Amazing Italian food. I had one of the best meals in Brussels here (escalop a la truffe). The place is cute and in a cool location, all while remaining affordable and traditional.

The small façade in Chausse de Wavre hides a precious Italian restaurant. The open kitchen already opens the appetite. It is a small cozy restaurant with an outstanding Italian food. I highly recommend the pastas with Truffe.

09019b87-b820-4357-a344-16a8a4fb8157

this is definitely a place where to go and enjoy some nice pasta!

the place is super cute, perfect for any occasion (friends or even romantic ;) )

when you enter the restaurant you get to see directly the cook who is busy cooking the main dishes live. what else to express the good quality of the fresh food when there is nothing to hide? just go and try 

worth it ;)
