A selection of reviews from our guests in Mechelen and Antwerp.
“The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, so you feel welcome right away. I went for the pasta alla vodka e burrata: the sauce was perfectly balanced, pleasantly spicy and wonderfully creamy thanks to the burrata. Comfort food at its best. Lovely concept, delicious food, welcoming service and a cosy atmosphere. Absolutely recommended!”
“We ate here for the first time this week and we can already confirm that we'll definitely be back! A very cosy and beautiful place. We had the ravioli ricotta e limone and the carciofi e limone. The portions were generous and the flavours were spot on. A truly delicious meal.”
“Ate on the terrace with two young children without a reservation. The best service I've received at a restaurant in ages. The children each got their own colouring book with pencils, care was taken with the seating and even with fast-passing traffic. Besides the 10/10 service, the food was delicious too. The tiramisu was absolutely divine!”
“Ate at Boretti Mechelen once already this week. And because of the excellent experience there, we ate at the Antwerp location today. Very tasty food and super smooth service.”
“Had a very tasty meal here. Starter: the pinsa was spicy but very good. The carbonara was an 11/10! The pasta with scampi 9/10. We also had dessert, tiramisu and coffee, and even the coffee was very good. We'll definitely be back!”
“Delicious fresh Italian with some more special choices on the menu. Serving everything together nicely for a group of 13 is no small feat, so great service. Absolutely spot on!”
