When you think of Italian cuisine, you think of pizza , antipasti and escalopes and aperol spritz ! However, for the writing of this article, we have limited ourselves to Italian restaurants that make "fresh pasta".
By "fresh pasta", we mean those who mix flour and water, to shape the tortellini themselves, following the recipe of an Italian mamma. In short, those who make pasta a culinary art.
1. Le Casse-croute: fresh pasta near the UGC Toison d'or
We were looking for a restaurant to eat at before going to the UGC Toison d'Or cinema. Walking down the alley, we spotted a restaurant shining brightly in the night: "Le Casse-Croûte." After reading the sign in the window, " Fresh and homemade pasta ," we decided to go in. Excellent value for money. We chose Pasta Mongolian and a pasta trio. Delicious! Perfect before the cinema, as it's ready quite quickly. The Italian restaurant Le Casse-Croûte is located at 22 Rue du Pépin, 1000 Brussels. Open Monday to Friday, from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM and then from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and also on Saturday evenings from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM! Please note, it is closed on Sundays.
2. Fresh pasta at Patty Pates Place Saint-Boniface
Patty Pates is tucked away just steps from St. Boniface Square . Don't let the outside fool you. Behind this small restaurant lies a temple of fresh pasta. The menu is impressive! There's a mountain of sauces to choose from to complement your fresh pasta. You could easily spend 30 minutes just picking the perfect one. Featured dishes include tagliatelle and cannelloni. Arrive early or make a reservation.
