🃏 The story behind Scopa

You may already know this, but Broom It is first and foremost an Italian card game, a classic, a symbol of simple moments, laughter, and long evenings with friends or family. And clearly, it's no coincidence that the restaurant bears this name.

The founders, of Italian origin, wanted to recreate this warm and authentic atmosphere through their concept. Here, you don't just come to eat: you come to share.

The heart of the project?
👉 Quality products
👉 Home-style cooking
👉 And above all… a deep respect for Italian traditions

The undisputed star of the house: focaccia (I.e.
Prepared on site, kneaded and baked according to a typical recipe, it is at once soft, crispy and ultra generous.

Add to that an atmosphere of cellar modern, with an Italian-style welcome, you almost feel like you're at the Nonna ❤️

📍 Our experience at Scopa

After seeing it (again and again) on TikTok, we thought: Okay, let's go!.

And there… what a slap 🤤

There were quite a few people (good sign 👀), but we managed to snag a little spot on their terrace — honestly super pleasant when the weather is nice in Brussels.

One small detail we loved:
👉 the system of bleep
No need to queue for 20 minutes, you order, you wait calmly, and it beeps when it's ready. Simple, efficient.

Clearly… unbelievable.

We tested it:

  • Porchetta
    • Roquette
  • Pecorino
  • Dried tomatoes

👉 Super soft bread

Frankly, at first we thought “Okay, it’s a bit expensive.”...
But from the first bite, you immediately understand where the money goes.
