Celebrated table
The story
Nuovo Rosso stands out in Brussels as a destination for authentic Italian cuisine. Chef Mario Gentile established this Saint-Gilles trattoria ten years ago, introducing his Milanese approach to the neighborhood. The kitchen centers on pasta prepared fifteen different ways, securing a Le Fooding listing that recognizes the spot as a reliable home for Italian flavors in the capital.
Dishes arrive in large stainless steel pans designed for sharing. A burrata starter often appears buried under generous shavings of fresh truffle. Main courses highlight seasonal ingredients, such as pappardella all'astice paired with lobster alongside Pachino tomatoes. Spring menus introduce tagliatelle carbonara with asparagus.
Intense reds and ochre yellows define the dining space, creating a vivid backdrop for the service. Guests share meals directly from the large steel pans placed at the center of the table. House reds such as Montepulciano accompany the savory courses. Dessert selections remain rooted in tradition, with options including panna cottas, cannoli, and tartufo al cioccolato.
