    We had a group of four and everything was devine. Mushroom risotto was smoky and creamy, the mussels in curry sauce was perfect. One in our party had the halibut which was flaky and poached perfectly. We had the steak tartar and French roll as appetizers and the bacon butter was unexpectedly flavorful. The staff was attentive and prompt. We also had a visit from the manager and that was a nice touch. Thank you Belga Cafe for a wonderful meal and a fantastic evening.

    This place is about food first. The service is also superb. The pasta and risioto are amazing and among the best you will ever taste. The food is lovely and beautifully made. The wine list is very extensive. Service is superb. We had one minor issue which was addressed promptly and thoroughly. This is not a white table restaurant. It’s a neighborhood gem. People are here having a good time, just as you would expect from a small place in Tuscany.
