Ernest Bastianelli - Bruxelles

What to say more of this wonderful neighborhood Italian grocery store, located at the very end of the Ixelles roadway for over 40 years. Far from fine and expensive grocery stores, this ranges from very affordable, excellent quality products. This is a local trade! Sweet, listening and not avarying in advice. So don't hesitate to ask them how to prepare some dishes, the pasta you need with a sauce, the products they like. Their wine selection is very good too, and without surprise, they are excellent advice for chords. Their sandwiches are good, generous, and are probably the best in terms of quality price ratio around Flagey Square. Simple products like homemade prepared vegetables, with lots of love (their antipasti are prepared home, even artichokes! to the finest things ( truffle oil, organic olive oil, vinegars, you will find everything, advice, good mood, and what to leave a little in Italy, the time of a good little dish.

An Italian home-made cuisine, a colorful family that gives warm to the heart, servings to feed a legionnaire, beautiful and good products that make the charm of the decor and the happiness of taste buds, and perfumes and flavors both intense and mastered with an art consumed by Ernesto who spoils us! A place where you like to come back and come back...

What a pleasure the time when the MAMA, her sweet little girl, welcomed you with warmth, with heart. And then... PASTA! A treat. Since the father and son decided to put the pizzeria on Malibran Street, to pick up the furnaces at the back of this pretty little grocery/restaurant, it simply became unpleasant to eat there. Before sticking to the length of meals of reflections to the limit of racism, without background, hollow... All asserted with certainty... The own... it's a lot for a moment that's supposed to be pleasant. I love to laugh and don't brace fast, which is why for a long time, I just smiled at their authoritarian and foolish remarks... They passed me over my head. Until the day you sat, seeing that you're eating, and that kind of thing... it doesn't look good... it gets worse. Too bad they didn't stay in their empty world pizzeria...

Family environment. Great environment, products and Cortesia.

This place is seriously a hidden gem! Amazing food prepared right in front of you. One of the beat meals I have ever had and great company. Ernesto is so friendly and warm you feel like you're having dinner at a friends home. Definitely a must do in Ixelles!
