L’Isola Di Gio

Perfect Italian honesty. A limited food card, an expansive wine card, what beautiful equilibrium…read more As my second visit here, I only have one drawback. I tried to make sure I got a seat outside, by calling after making my reservations online. I was assured this would be no problem, turns out one of the employees routinely says 'yes' to this request, without really checking. The manager was a bit embarrassed about this, and it being a hot day we were kind of bummed. However, I knew how good the food and place is, so really, it didn't take us long to forget that little thing. I cordially suggest taking the carbonara, a dish I would never recommend anywhere else. Just saying.

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.

You really have no feeling that you are in a pizzeria, what so ever. Since I'm by myself I'm having no trouble sitting at the bar (YES! Finally a Belgian restaurant where you can sit at the bar). I received the menu quickly and got presented the specials for the evening. They have great wines by the glass so I order a white 6 Mura and pizza with rucola, Parmesan and Italian ham. When they bring my 7.5 EUR glass of wine, I'm a bit disappointed. The glass was barely filled. I understand when you serve special wines by the glass they are a tad more expensive but this is just to little. But OK, I won't bother myself and as a good Yelper, I check in. FYI: Asked for the WIFI-password! They will be happy to give it to you! Immediately a friend (Bart D) responds if he can join me with friend (Myriam G). Off course they can join so I ask the waitress if it's OK if they join me for a glass. That won't be a problem but they have to within the hour because they are fully booked which we understand off course. When Bart sees my pizza, he just can't let it pass by and orders one for himself too. The staff didn't really bother that and took his order. We had a couple drinks more and the staff never really asked us to leave until 2 hours later. Which is a big plus knowing that they at first wanted us out within the hour. When the bill arrived... I was thinking on faking a heart attack... Although I guess i had a small one when i saw it. 2 wines, 1 pizza and 1 Montenegro liquor (AMAZING taste) has cost me 40 EUR! And i wasn't even drunk. But i had a great time, the pizza was great and the wines where very tasteful nonetheless there wasn't much in the glass.

For my father-in-law's birthday we were in the mood for Italian. We had yet to visit Renaissance,…read moreso I booked us a table. Very beautiful building with a modern, chic interior. From first impressions, I was really looking forward to the meal. But...I could tell when it came time to order that this was going to be a long meal. Way too few waiters for the crowded restaurant. When it came to drinks, we often sat with empty glasses (our waiter kept our wine at the bar) and sometimes we had to ask 3 times before they remembered to come with our wine or a bottle of water! The food was good, but overpriced. My burrata first course was excellent, but my main course - the pasta with shrimp - was average. The meal took almost 3 hours in total because the restaurant was so understaffed, the food was only good (not great), and it's really expensive for an okay experience. Luckily I had great company!
