Il Barinetto — Restaurant in Machelen

Fantastic Italian Restaurant in Diegem area. Customers are truly treated like family here. Was greeted with a smile by every staff member. Very kind! I was dining solo so I had a Calzone and bottle of soda. Calzone was hearty sized, and tasted delicious. Baked in fire burning type of brick oven and the crust on top was crisp, flavorful and just delicious. Plenty of ham and cheese inside of calzone. I left the restaurant feeling full. The price was excellent for the value. If you're in Diegem, near Zaventem, then this is the place to go for Italian food and Pizza. They also have menu specials. ...

I've been there twice already and I will most certainly return there a lot...

Let me tell you why:

Firstly, the food is excellent! I tried the salmon pizza and salmon ravioli and they were both very tasty...

Secondly, the service is on point! Waiters and waitresses are welcoming...

Thirdly, they have a parking lot and a very pretty cost charming decor inside :)

As I said, loved it it will definitely become one of my favourite Italian around :)

I must try the rest of...

Autant dire que je ne vais pas faire leur publicité.

Dropping by in the early afternoon, I wanted to order a coffee and a dessert because I really like Italian restaurants. Very disappointed by the aggressive welcome from the owner, who dismissed me without even looking at me. I’m being transferred to NATO headquarters nearby on September 1st. I could have become a regular customer. Let’s just say I certainly won’t be spreading the word in their favor.

Toen ik vroeg in de middag langskwam, wilde ik een kop koffie en een dessert bestellen, omdat ik erg van Italiaanse restaurants hou. Ik was erg teleurgesteld over de agressieve ontvangst door de eigenaar, die me zonder me zelfs maar aan te kijken wegstuurde. Per 1 september word ik overgeplaatst naar het NAVO-hoofdkantoor in de buurt. Ik had een vaste klant kunnen worden. Laten we zeggen dat ik zeker geen reclame voor...
