Ricciocapriccio

Everything was absolutely delicious. The service is great and so was the vibe. We were on the front terrace. Absolutely lovely.

This is my fifth time here and the restaurant never disappoints ! Food, service, and overall ambience is great ! The octopus was cooked to perfection and the yellow tail was fresh and full of flavour ! For the mains we ordered the pork and pasta with beef which was honestly really great ! Cocktails are an even extra plus (try the Negroni!). One of my favourite places in Brussels.

Exquisite. By far the most fulfilling dinner I had in a Brussels restaurant for a while. Very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were all very kind. The focus here is on food and not on pretentious "concepts". Everything we tasted was tasty and cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for high quality, tasty food.

Great experience, reservation recommended, overall good food and a good service. We shared all the plates and got a small appetizer from the house, which was the best dish of the whole evening (9.5/10) After the small appetizer, we got the polpo (8.5/10) and the yellow fin (8/10) - both super soft and tasteful. We ended with a ragout (7.5/10), of which the pasta was to me a little bit too al dente, but the pork stew mixed with it was stunning. The pork ribs (8/10) were soft and nicely combined. We also had a Negroni (9.5/10), a must have! Service was great, enough space at the tables and generally speaking a nice vibe. Would recommend!

Food was decent but we were all expecting more, respecting the very high reviews. The beetroot starter was nicely arranged, but the taste didn't follow the aesthetics. The beef steak was nice but slightly chewy.

Absolutely delicious food, nice atmosphere and good service ! We ordered the poached egg in mousse and the pork belly as entrees, and risotto as main. All was impeccable in taste, with very unique twist of flavors! Will come back without hesitation :)

We went to the comptoir for dinner and really enjoyed. The pasta was alright, but the other dishes were really good.

We went there by coincidence, looking for something good and fast but not fast food! What a surprise it is a 5 star food deserving high quality food label. It is the little of the same restaurant in front , which is gastronomic! To be honest even their family style food is like gastronomic 💗🙌💗 go without hesitation and the best thing is the limited choice on the menu always a good sign 🤩

This restaurant is terrific. Every touch is on point. The service, food, atmosphere, and wine all come together to make this a perfect place for dinner. If you walk out without eating some burrata or octopus, you will regret it. Their specialty is the grilled octopus, whole and lightly seasoned. I could eat one all on my own; every bite is perfectly cooked and tender.

I love their octopus! The burrata is always good. The menu is not too big but varied. My friend was disappointed in the vongole, which come with bottarga (maybe a bit surprising indeed, and bottarga is definitely an acquired taste -which I have developed ;)). Also the cheese wasn't good: it was announced as parmigiano while it was pecorino (or grano padano?), and it was dry (possibly from the crust?). However! The owner came out and explained the cheese came from a bag and that they didn't always test bags upon opening. He totally agreed with our opinion and replaced the cheese. Additionally, he didn't charge us for the vongole because "She hasn't eaten anything". Very client-friendly experience thus! (And I repeat: loooove the octopus :))

Pricey and often packed place but ... the grilled octopus is out of this world and the service is always top-notch. I would love them to renew a little bit their menu in order to discover new treats.

Great restaurant. Small menu but big variety. Amazing service (always with a smile!). Great choice of wines. Adequate prices for a gastronomic Italian restaurant in Ixelles/Elsene area of Brussels. Seafood, fish, octopus dishes are a must. Small place, so reserving is probably recommended. Nice patio during summer. Will for sure be back soon.

It is my favourite Italian restaurant by far. It feels like entering the home of an Italian family who puts all of its passion in the cooking surrounded by the warmth feeling of being invited at their table. The quality and refinement of the food could deserve a 1star but they do not look after that publicity. A great, simple place, an unusual friendly service, and a feast for the palais with traditional Italian plates with a creative twist. I come here for more than 5 years and it's always a pure pleasure.

Perfect. Ambiance, service, food. The lovely waitress served us in three different languages and gave us a detailed walk-through of the menu of the day. I had a whole grilled octopus, which was delicious. Higly recomended!

Great italian restaurant. Tasty food, friendly and smiley service, great wine. Just a fabulous restaurant to go. I have known it for years and never been disappointed. Once you go there you will go back! Menu changes regularly. I recommend the octopus, salsice pasta, beef ravioli, etc. whatever you choose you will be more than satisfied.
