The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Wallonie

Hailing from Fano in the heart of Italy's Adriatic region, Luca the chef was born in the pans... in his parents' own restaurant, Ristorante Monte Cucco, educated in the purest Italian culinary tradition. Flavors, fresh pasta, inventive cooking and everything homemade, even some cold cuts, while the olive oil is extra virgin, nothing else. Chitarrine nere with prawns, tacconi with broad beans and guanciale, homemade osso buco... If you've had enough of Belgian cuisine (or not), it's tempting.

An institution right next to the Place de la Cathédrale.

A popular terrace in spring.

And magnificent vaulted cellars for an unforgettable experience...

The dining room of this Sicilian restaurant is vast, luminous and colored without too many frills. The welcome is smiling and friendly. Here, we work as a family. In the kitchen, the owner offers 100% homemade dishes, such as fresh Sicilian pasta: spaghetti with squid ink or octopus or the famous Ricci di mare (with sea urchins). Michaël, the pizza maker's son, makes his wood-fired pizzas under lyrical names: Vivaldi, Rigoletto, Norma... A sure sign: the Transalpines regularly sit down at the table.

Gianni Caruso prepares a contemporary cuisine using simple produce which he combines with much audacity and luxury produce. He was taught how to respect quality ingredients in order to show all the flavours of Italy with a preference for those of Sicily, his native area. Even if foie gras and truffle mix with polenta, all come from small producers who exercise their trade with passion. Preparation and presentation are outstanding. Gianni Caruso creates dishes while thinking about the wines that go with it, because the man excels as a chef and sommelier. Come and savour a simple cuisine that changes with the season.

Watch out for the pun!Socio, because there are plenty of antipasti to share, and pasta, because the rest of the menu is made up of... pasta. Steven Mirelli's restaurant offers only homemade pasta, from classics (superb rigatoni amatriciana with crispy guanciale) to more daring suggestions of the day. For dessert? Tiramisu, rum baba and affogatto al caffè! Sitting at the counter, you can admire the chefs at work. As for the dining room, it's stylish, warm and welcoming. Also available to take away.

Le Valentino offers a good forty Italian-style pizzas and a good twenty homemade pasta dishes from the Botte region. We appreciate the thin-crust pizzas, with quality ingredients and classic, well-prepared compositions. Some Italian dishes are also on the menu, such as fresh pasta rolls Florentine style (ricotta, ham, spinach), as well as foccacias and other specialties. But the really good deal is the weekday lunch, which varies regularly for a very reasonable price. A good address.

The outside environment is more Mirafiori than Amalfi. Nevertheless, the stop is a must for lovers of hearty and well brought Italian food. Here the dough of the pizzas is perfect and therefore the pizza is wonderful! As for the rest, Italian specialities rub shoulders with our Franco-Belgian gastronomy with some home cooking dishes such as tortellini with brodo, penne al forno or the Lombard picatta.
