Just around the corner from the Pantone Hotel, near the Louizalaan, Sale Pepe Rosmarino is an excellent small Italian restaurant. We’ve been there a few times, and have being knocked out by plates like hand-made mezze lune with lemon and sage or scallops with fresh shaved truffle.

They have a standard menu, but seemingly everyone orders off the daily specials board, which features starters, pastas, and meat/fish dishes. Wines have been excellent.  Two courses and wine will run around €60 per person.

It’s not big, and reservations are definitely recommended. They don’t even have a website. Just a phone: 02-538.90.63.
