The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Bruxelles - Brussel

This restaurant is not at the cutting edge of modernity? No matter, this cuisine has been a success for more than thirty years. You can enjoy bourgeois dishes and it would be a mistake to forget this beautiful restaurant. We will evoke a sharp classicism where the French cuisine plays its scales. A few pasta dishes are a reminder of Pascal Romano's transalpine origins. The service is provided with elegance while you are comfortably seated. The setting and the bright decoration of this 1900's style house offer refinement as a guiding principle. A must!

Here's a young Neapolitan couple who have done well to set up shop in Uccle. In addition to antipasti, the main part of the menu features pizzas: classic, white (without tomatoes), calzone and specials. Stephan Guarino's pizzas reflect all the characteristics of authentic traditional Neapolitan pizza. Good hydration, long hours of natural rising, the right choice of raw materials and oven baking at the right temperature. There's no shortage of pizzerias in Brussels, but this is competitive pizza.

Restaurant-wine bar specializing in tasty and authentic Italian dishes. You can choose from a hanging board, as if you were shopping at the market! The white tablecloths set the tone, the cooking is fair, without unnecessary fuss. The ingredients taste as they are, without unnecessary or prolonged processing or cooking. You might as well say that we like it! Caffè al Dente also has a shop next door. Unique wines to discover on the spot or to take away, fine and exquisite products coming directly from the Peninsula.

The cuisine balances quite well between creative proposals and a traditional menu. The fish arrives twice a day, the pasta, bread and desserts are made in-house and the pizza maker turns his dough in front of the customers! The wine list has a hundred labels from all over Italy and the bottles are displayed in an enoteca style. We point out an excellent prosecco as a homemade aperitif and we slide our feet under the terrace table to enjoy the garden. A reproduction of the Venetian painter Carpaccio hangs on the wall.

In a decor inspired by Venetian brasseries, the atmosphere is relaxed. It's a change from the rather basic student barsor the Asian restaurants in the neighbourhood. The pizzas are made over a wood fire and go perfectly with the wines that the owner produces in Campania. It is not by chance that this "Italian dream" has been a reference for lovers of pizza, antipasti, fresh pasta and other Italian specialities for almost 40 years. The suggestions are also there. Note that it is open 7 days a week, as you may well spend a day there.
