I have no words to describe how amazing our dinner was. From the moment we went in I knew it would be great and they didn't disappoint me. We were 15 min early so our table wasn't ready yet, but they offered us to come inside and treated us to a glass of a really good Prosecco, while we watched the bartenders showcasing their cocktail making skills. What a great welcome!
Dinner also went very well. Timing was perfect, staff was really really friendly and looked so happy that it was impossible not to be cheerful as well. And the food... so good!! We had the roasted pumpkin with stracciatella and almonds as a starter and then I had the seabass as a main. Perfectly cooked, amazing sauce and right quantity.
Desserts were also really nice.
I can only say that I'm very grateful to both the bartenders, the waiters and the cooks for making us have an incredible evening.
I will definitely come back!!!

We don’t ever look for Italian restaurants abroad. But CiPiace is just a special place. The food is simply amazing: fresh ingredients from Italy, collected with great care for quality, creative variations on sound Apulian (one of the best cuisine in Italy) roots, mouthwatering results. Appetizers and pastas, fish or meat, even desserts: you can’t go wrong. Try the grilled octopus, the anchovy spaghettoni with toasted crumbled bread, the “strascinati” with bacon and fava beans...
The place is lovely, on one of the coolest squares in Brussels. The staff is highly professional and extraordinarily warm and welcoming. And the mixologist at the bar is a genius: you will drink some of the best cocktails of your life.

Myself and 3 friends visited for brunch on a Sunday. The brunch deal is great value, €28 for hot and cold brunch dishes, fresh juice and a coffee.
The range and quality of food is fantastic and unlike other buffets it’s a very relaxed experience, with the staff bringing the hot dishes over to your table.
The staff are some of the most genuinely attentive and friendly we’ve come across. We will definitely come back if we return to Brussels.
Thank you!

Small Italian restaurant in the Saint Gerry neighborhood. They have a very nice big terrasse so it’s nice for the summer.
Food was good but unfortunately They didn’t have what we want it anymore. I had the bruschetta as a starter it was very nice they were three huge ones; and as a main dish I had the pasta al vongole which was delicious.
All this with a margarita, wich was different than the usual ones and not spicy enough for me.
Service was very friendly.

Well finally you can get a decent cocktail in Brussels, this place must be visited, they are very professional in what they do , they also do a nice espresso and sell also very good wine by glass.
The place itself is not too big but is very cozy, people working there tend top be very kind, kind and professional.
A good day to visit is Tuesday when they do an Italian aperitif , so you pay for your drink and get to eat a very nice buffet included in the price of the drink.
In case you are in the area of St Gilles is a place worth to be visited .

A brilliant bar with wide selection of drinks and cocktails as well as food. Sustained centrally in the Saint Gilles district, this is a totally fabulous Italian bar run, apparently, by an all Italian team a d frequented, definitely by the Italian expat community.
The negronis were impeccable and there's a wide of tastes. The place is small, crowded, loud. Trendy crowd. I enjoyed myself a lot. Will go back.

Came here on a Friday night and the place had a fabulous buzz to it. The staff were lovely and clearly expert mixologists - a negroni at CiPiaCe is so much more than mixing three ingredients together. You also got free taralli throughout, which is always appreciated. Also a great terrace with blankets! Will be returning next time I'm in Brussels.

I went there a few times, the location is great (big terrace which is in the sun in the evening) and the apero is really the italian one! You can drink good aperol spritz (on Tuesday) and for the same price you can enjoy the buffet (pasta, pizza, salad...). If you want to experience a bit of Italy in Brussels, Ci Piace is highly recommended!!!

Whether meeting up with friends or going on a date, this is the perfect spot. Casual, good food, nice wines and amazing cocktails. Nothing here it ordinary or mediocre. From the service to the drinks to the unique take on Italian food, this is a place that you not only want to be but want to come back to time and time again.
