2/16/26, party of 15 for lunch…read more The staff was great, shout out to Emanuel and Rafael, as they took great care of us! Split a pizza with my son and it was amazing. Beers were flowing on time and deliciously cold. Awesome food, drinks, atmosphere and staff! 5 all the way!

While looking for lunch on 10/3/24 in our day in Belgium we passed this restaurant. I knew it was a…read moretourist trap but they had this funny old guy shouting outside to get people in the restaurant. When I say this man was working hard that is an under statement. He was speaking at least 5 different languages to get people in the door. Well after wandering we decided we did want pasta and ate here. The prices are of course higher being a tourist trap but I will say the servings were gigantic! Neither of us could finish our pasta because I swear we got over a pound of food! The food itself was what we expected and was pretty average but we did have a good time !

Great staff, great food. Interior of the restaurant was nice…read moreand clean. When walking in I did not expect too much, but boy did they change my mind. I had my wine picked by the waiter, and she brought a really interesting housewine. I would reccommend this place to anyone.

i wish there was a service where you can pay extra to give 6 stars! this restaurant is amazing…read more Staff is super friendly and food is to die for, last time i had pasta with mashrooms and i'm close to buying another ticket to fly from NY to Antwerp just for the meal. Its been years since i visit that place (all be it only once or twice a year) and they are consistently amazing. The lady who serves (not sure if she is the owner) knows people who come in by name and is so friendly - love her thank you very much and highly highly recomend

Went to Isola Sarda for the third time, thats how brilliant it is!…read more I've taken different friends each time so this review speaks for four people. Great atmosphere. Welcomed in by a beautiful brick oven stove, friendly staff, and charming decor. Reminds me of an Italian restaurant in Manhattan. Not pretentious, simple, clean, and definitely worth remembering. I tend to steer clear of tourist trap restaurants in the busy De Keyserlei/ Central station area. However the location of the restaurant on Anneessensstraat 35 only adds to the appeal for me. Its very refreshing to find a truly good restaurant in such a busy area. The brick oven pizza is beautiful, fresh toppings and plenty to choose from so even my vegetarian friend was impressed with toppings like aubergine, artichoke, and gorgonzola to name only a few. The choice of salads were interesting and definitely had me curious to taste. I shared an antipasto, a pizza, and a carafe of house red wine with my friend We both left feeling pleased with our choices. She mentioned going back for a meal with her partner. Owners Daniel and Micky are wonderful hosts, its no wonder the place is always busy when I go!

Two persons are not allowed to share one pizza, even though we ordered wine, cava and other drinks…read more We carried out our pizza order so they missed out on making more money on desserts and other drinks. Dumb people with no business view. Pizza was very small and extremely thin crust; €10. There are better places around, not strange we were the only people in there.

Food and service are up to standard. The setting and atmosphere could be either cozier or trendier,…read morenow it's neither here nor there.

Il Pastaiolo is where you can find the most delicious Italian takeaway!…read more Lunch: Delicious sandwiches and pizza! One sandwich will cost you around €4.50 and you have so many options - my favorite is the bresaola on focaccia with olive oil and lemon juice and my husband always orders the vitello tonnato. If I'm not in the mood for sandwiches I'll order a slice of fresh pizza which goes for €2.50 for a quarter slice. Dinner: Where to begin! So many pastas and other dishes that you can take home to enjoy later for dinner. Often I will come by on a Friday and just buy a lot of meat, cheese, and olives to enjoy with a fresh loaf of ciabatta. With the leftovers I like to use them as toppings for homemade pizza the next evening. Il Pastaiola also boasts a great Italian wine offering to compliment your meal. Everything I've tried had been delicious! Don't forget that Fridays and Saturdays are super busy and you need to take a number. You also can find the menu online and call ahead if you're short on time!

Beautifully prepared Italian food. My favourites are slices of pizza (about 3 euros per slice); the…read morepatate al ligure (meltingly prepared potatoes with onions and olives); and the fantasia del Pastaiolo. You cannot miss here.
