Peperoncino 🇮🇹 — Restaurant in Genk

This restaurant used to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Genk. The food used to be exquisite, and this is why I decided to take my parents in law there for a dinner, since we had some important news to celebrate.

Management changed and the menu looked completely different. Fair enough, surely the food will be just as good, right? We ordered a big plate of grilled meat for two and the meat was so tough and overcooked, no garnishment, my guests ended up leaving half of it. They could not even cut it for how tough it was. Even the oven potatoes were soft and tasteless. Horrible!

I am Italian so I had insisted on going to this restaurant and I was so ashamed I did not know where to look. Our family gathering was ruined, we were supposed to celebrate some important news and instead we ended up leaving without even having a dessert.

I ended up paying almost 200€ for this horrible dinner, after which my fiancé and I went to a fast food restaurant because we will still hungry and so upset.

I will never go back to La Dolce Vita again. And honestly, if you live in Genk you should avoid it at...

Stepping into Peperoncino feels like wandering onto a cozy terrazzo in a small Italian street. The decor is stunning, with charming details like cobblestone floors, wall paintings, and warm lights that capture the romantic spirit of Italy.

The staff was amazing—attentive, friendly. Whether you’re with friends, family, or enjoying a date night, Peperoncino has an inviting atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended for anyone craving an...

I wanted to have a nice Italian Espresso with 5 of my friends after we just had dinner beciase on our way back to the hotel we notoced the Italian Restaurant open. I was refused by the waiter because "it is a restaurant". My asupmtion is that the coffee is bad since he didn't let me taste it or maybe because we seemd foreigners and we were all wearing masks when we entered the terrace they got scared of us. We moved one table close to the other 2 because we were a group of 6 whem we were asled what we are doing. We explained we are 6 and the table sotting is 4 and 2 and we want to sit together. Even speaking in Italian didn't help me. In case the owner reads this artive he can contact me in private for further...
