Worst Hell Hole
This must be about the single most horrendous restaurant experience I have had in a very long time. The staff does not speak any language except Italian. Not that this ought to be an issue, but it is if they get every order wrong. Add to that a 1.5 hour waiting time for food to arrive... And then the food ... the pizza was so bad I sent mine back and declined them making a new one (honestly, after waiting for 90 minutes I expected that at least the food would be edible). The kids did not even want to eat their pizza, so they were sent back too. And the pasta was so overcooked it had half turned to starch. Avoid at all cost - this place should be reported to the health and safety inspection.
Interestingly I noticed the restaurant ‘replied’ to my review with a suite of lies. So let’s expose the liars. I was with a group of 20 family members and my mother was paying as it was in celebration of her birthday, so I hardly walked out without paying (first lie).

Nobody in our family enjoyed the meal and nobody has returned since, and nobody apologised, we only talked afterwards about how bad it was (third lie). Two of my children had pasta and I tried it, so that’s the fourth lie. Instead of putting energy in making up fake replies making up fake facts some energy may be invested in: making edible food? Getting more staff? Staff that speaks the local language (Vlaams) or English? Basic manners? A kitchen that looks vaguely hygienic? Just...

The hostess isn't the fastest but very friendly and brings the most delicious dishes to your table.. The pizza Tonno I had was very tasty and I almost couldn't finish it.. that big! Definitely drop by if you get...
Read moreThis place looks like it’s been here a long time and now I know why…. Not only because of the charming atmosphere, but the food is the most AUTHENTIC ITALIAN food you can find in Hasselt!! So delicious. I’ll eat here every chance I get. Just to note, you have to walk through the hall (next to Bar Daphne) and then the stairs up to the first level. Or just follow your nose to the amazing smell of...
