You can eat penne with various sauces. So there is not a tremendous choice, but if you like pasta, it is nice. The pizza is not gluten free.

I contacted the restaurant to ask what the gf options are before making a reservation, as the menu said “ask personnel”, and I wanted to be sure we could fine something to eat. The restaurant’s response was along the lines of “we can’t tell you what they are, you have to come in and ask.” I find this suspicious; if they have gluten free options, surely they could just let me know..?

I also searched the Brussels gluten free Facebook group, in which several people say they were served wheat pasta when asking for gluten free (including one person saying the waiter told them that they do not actually have gluten free.

It seems that this restaurant may actually have some gluten free options, but is just as likely to bait and switch and serve gluten pasta without any fear of repercussion. Use caution!

Only Penne pasta available as GF. Lovely food and waiter kept me right. No seperate menu - just have to ask your waiter. Not a huge selection if you are also dairy free - my partner got a charcuterie board

I enjoyed the glutenfree penne very much. Nearly all sauces were glutenfree (told by the waiter), so a lot of possibilities. The taste of "Ricotta and Parmesan" was great. No glutenfree pizza available.

Ordered gluten-free Penne. The lady recommended I not add parmesan as they cut it close to the bread, but nevertheless, I felt sick afterwards, most likely due to cross-contamination in the kitchen.

Penne is the only gluten free option for pasta, but all sauce options are gluten free. This is not specified directly on the menu, but there is a notice at the bottom of every menu page saying that the establishment can accomodate a gluten free diet and to just ask waiters for more information.

I ordered Penne with the signature Parmesan & Ricotta sauce. It was good and I did not get sick.

I don't think I would feel safe eating there regularly because I believe I got lucky with cross contamination risks given the amount of gluten meals being served all around me. However, I don't regret going and I would definetly return occasionally given the chance.

Not a whole lot of choice and not the best service, when I told the server to pay attention because I had coeliac disease he didn't know what it was. But I didn't get sick though I would not recommend as they don't know anything about coeliac disease.

A sad meal consisting of cold pasta, still soaking wet (I guess from an attempt to warm it up briefly by rinsing in warm water) and a tasteless sauce. Cutlery was dirty, but the staff ignored me asking for a clean fork. This restaurant should not claim having GF options.

Nice ambiance. Very italian looks. Food comes very fast. Pasta is well done or very al dente. People know what’s glutenfree. Lot of the sauces are glutenfree. I enjoyed the meal and the place. Reservation is recommended.

Diversity is not what you will get here but if you want pasta with delicious sauce I would recommend. They have lots of different sauce options to choose from and the manager's sister is celiac (so he might know a little). I like to go here as it's delicious, affordable, lots of food, and a really interesting decor. I will agree with other comments that the service can sometimes be slow but I work a lot in Italy as well and it's a cultural thing.

Really disappointed... 1/ they only have 3 entrees on the menu tht are gluten free (and something like 4 starters and 3 or 4 desserts), but they garantee no cross contamination which is good. 2/ the service was awful: we waited 30 minutes and had to ask several times for someone to take our order; my friend ordered a pizza but instead they brought pasta and when we said it was the wrong order they told us we were wrong, then changed it, my friend had to wait an extra 15 min for her food while mine was getting cold in front of me, and at night point did they apologize. 3/ My friend's pizza (not gluten free, they don't have gluten free pizza) was hardly edible in her opinion. 4/ It's way too expensive price/quality-wise. I will never go back again.

They have two varieties of gluten free pasta and a wide variety of sauces. They are aware of what sauces are safe and can recommend sauces based off of your preferences. The service is a bit frustrating, only because it was the owner and a female server doing all the work throughout the restaurant as 4 young men working stood in the way the majority of the time.

Finally! A place in Brussels where I can get actual food! I've been traveling through Europe for almost a week now, and I've spent a few days in Brussels. I had yet to find somewhere that hadn't caused an allergic reaction or just been disgusting. (And I am not picky when it comes to food) This restaurant just appeared out of nowhere on the street with a giant sign that said "Free Gluten"- which I initially balked at until I realized what it meant. I took my chances going inside because it looked a bit nicer than what I was dressed for (See- backpacking through Europe) but when I entered I was ushered inside and told to sit, even though it was rather busy. Waitstaff were friendly and funny. They Explained the GF options- either fusilli or penne pasta, and all the sauces were GF. I had "the best cappuccino in Brussels" as the waiter said, and I had to agree. For my meal I ordered penne with the caprese sauce and it was amazing. And large portions size too. The pasta was around 15 euro, and definitely worth it in my opinion. Please go here and ask for gluten free! They are very nice and most waiters speak English. Fairly close to the Brussels Central Train station, and the city center.
