I'm italian and make alot of homemade dishes so I can be particular about pasta. We had a lovely dinner. The ambiance is perfect and the food delicious! They took the Covid restrictions very seriously and because I had a US card it was a bit of a challenge to prove I was vaccinated but was done all very politely. The three of us had fabulous meals. It took a bit long to get our entrées but they were busy and it was a Friday night. We did get a bread basket but rather late so I'm not sure if that's a standard to get a bread basket or it was because our entrées were late. We met the owner and his wife both very friendly and delightful people. Our server was great. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend and his daughter and pay for dinner so the server took care of that for me. My boyfriend had grilled shrimp and his daughter had the Arrabbiata Sauce and pasta. I had the spinach and ricotta pasta. We shared a speculoos tiramisu that was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Real Italian food 40m from the 2nd largest market place in Europe, and at a reasonable price. Close…read moreto the Ibis hotel. This is probably the best Italian restaurant in a 20km radius. I've been here dozens of times and the food quality is constant. The attention to detail is admirable. Every table that becomes available is immediately cleaned and made impeccable for the next customer. Food portions are ample, and the chef's choice of red wine is real good for its price. Every meal starts off with a tomato and basil bruscetta appetizer. Primo & secundi piatti are exquisite. I would recommend the seafood dishes. Don't see this as a pizzeria though. The best dishes are the non pizza ones. Enjoy! Reservations are recommended during the weekends, but if you arrive late (after 9 pm) you are likely to have a table available. During the week you may not need a reservation. Can be open quite late, for instance I usually stop by for a quick meal after 10pm on Mondays.

I went on a Wednesdaynight with a big group and yet they managed to find a table for us without reservation. We were so openly welcomed and even got a little bruscetta as apetizer for free. I had a wonderful salad with parmesan cheese, prices are perfect compared to freshness/products.

My wife got eggplant parm, and I rolled the dice on "special lasagna", which ended up being "lasagna 3 ways" - alfredo, tomato, and salmon/cream. All were excellent. The nice Sicilian girls who served us gave our ingrate children 2 different desserts.

Fresh, so fresh!…read more That is the best way I can describe the food you get on your plate. Besides the fact that it has an open kitchen so you can see how they are preparing your dish, you can taste the freshness of their ingredients that are visible in the counter. The pasta itself is cooked as it should. If you bite it, it feels tender in the mouth, yet with a little bite to it. Just how it supposed to be. (Instead of that mushy pasta most places serve.) Every week there are new pasta suggestions. And the pizza's? they stick to the basics, that way you'll also taste the toppings AND the pizza itself. You can surely taste the difference with other pizza places. Deffinitely a must go! The price range of pizzas & pastas is between €13 - €18 (give or take..)

I've had terrific linguine vongole, seafood pasta, Osso Bucco - all of them have been hits! The ingredients are wonderfully fresh and the pasta perfectly al dente and bursting with flavour. The service is prompt and friendly and this place is so popular on weekends and Fridays you HAVE to call to get a place for dinner. I can't recommend Cucina 48 highly enough!
