This restaurant undoubtedly deserves a 5 star... Reasons…read more 1- Awesome location (very near to the station...a walk of around 10 minutes) 2- Lovely interiors...It really has that Italian looks with very creative lightings using table lamps 3- Great food....it was my best pizza and pasta experience in Netherlands. 4- Price....you probably won't get cheaper pizzas in NL (except for offer days in Dominos :P) If you are passing through Eindhoven or even Tilburg or where ever Happy italy is and you are in mood of trying pizzas, try Happy Italy.

We hadn't eaten dinner yet after a day trip out to Antwerp so we walked over to Happy Italy after…read moregetting dropped off at the station. They have 18 locations in the Netherlands. We dropped in on a Monday evening (around 9:00pm) and it was still busy. The inside is huge with a plethora of seating. Service was normal for Dutch standards. The menu consists of pizza, pasta, antipasti, insalate (salad), dolce (dessert) and panini (only till 5:00pm). - Lemon radler (€3,75) - tasted like a carbonated lemon drink. They don't offer tap water so we ordered this instead. Meh. - Norma pizza (€5,75) - tomato sauce, ricotta salata cheese, grilled eggplant, mozzarella and basil. There was exactly one sprig of basil on our pizza. Barely any eggplant. Overall, the pizza was passable but the ricotta was very salty. - Salame e capra (€6,95) - rocket and mixed salad, spicy salami, goat cheese, balsamic dressing and pine nuts. Oddest salad I've had; completely overdressed (ask for it on the side), whole slices of salami (you do get a lot) and two whole chunks of goat cheese thrown in. Would not get this again. Big portions and cheap prices but HI is all about the quantity over quality spot. 2.5 stars.

Possibly the best Italian/European place in Lier right now. Where to start - you get complimentary…read moreolives and bread, the staff is friendly and professional, everything (menus, tables, chairs, umbrellas) is clean, food is piping hot, setting (right next to the water in central Lier) is gorgeous. They've got everything from pizzas to seafood and steak. Quality of food is supreme, seafood is lush. Will definitely return here, we had a lovely meal in a great atmosphere. Top tip: go with the daily rec's of wine, and have a tartufo or panna cotta for dessert, you will not regret it.

I've had such bad experiences with this place that I don't know where to start…read more I was here during the summer, and both times the outdoor garden at the rear of the restaurant smelt absolutely horrific. I mean, urine. Sorry, to be so crude, but honestly, it smelt like a toilet. Not a very conducive atmosphere for drinking or eating I'd say. The times I've been here, it depends very much on who you're with what kind of service you get. I'm getting the sense that they're very snobbish, something I don't like in my restaurants at all. There have been times when I was not with someone from the Eindhoven inner circle, that I'd have to wait for a good 15 minutes before someone brought me a menu. This, to me, is unacceptable. When I sit down to have a drink, I'm thirsty. When there are two other people on your terrace, you're just busy doing anything but your job. As I am Dutch (which is not always immediately apparent since I tend to have English conversation partners) I can overhear the staff when they think I can't ... let's just say I overheard some comments about our table that made me not want to return. I've been here with someone who was a regular and my experience that time was markedly different. Our table was ready, the waiting was prompt, the food was delicious, ... but .. still, I want the service to be like that even when I'm not your most important customer. I guess, I just get very annoyed at snobbery, and this place certainly can have a foul attitude!

Food was hot and tasted great!! Fast service and i…read moredefinitely will order again.Delivery person was friendly and i tipped him.

BEST FRIES IN EINDHOVEN!!! These mofo's are thick and fried to the perfect crispiness. I almost…read morealways get the mayo which is really good here. They also have Belgian mayo here (a bit more sour), along with all the other sauces that most fry shacks in Holland carry, such as speciaal (mayo, curry ketchup, & onions) & oorlog (mayo & satay sauce). My only gripe is that I never know when they open. They seem to be closed most of the times that I want to eat from them... which I guess is pretty much every time I pass by the area. haha. :P ok. nevermind. This was my absolute favorite thing to eat in Holland. I have been forever spoiled by these fries. I will surely miss them!

What a delicious sandwich/sub/panini shop. Here's some quick details:…read more - You can either order from the menu or make your own. - You can add as many veggies (and hard boiled eggs) as you want to your sandwich, free of charge. - There's pastries and fresh fruit smoothies. - They serve fair trade coffee :3 - There's free WiFi, just enter your name and e-mail. They get five stars because they reeeeally load your sandwich (see picture for proof :P).

That being said, I would have traveled for it, too. It was good. Really good. I probably went every other or every third day for 2 weeks. Lasagna Bolognese, Pizza Margherita, Tiramisu.
