At Otomat, you’ll find heavenly pizzas, with inspiration from around the globe. Our pizza bases are crunchy and unique. And that is due to ... Duvel beer yeast, and also because our pizza dough gets three days to rest and rise! Choose between red (Otomat

The menu appeared to be creative, but the pizzas were just ok. They actually charge $5 for a bottle of tap water. When I questioned the server he indicated this is normal in Belgium, which I know is not accurate.Dear Taylor, thank you for your review and I will take in consideration your suggestion on tap water. Free tap water is not a habit in Belgium is what mean the server. Kind regards Bernard

Baracca

Reviewed By travelingwithtw0kids

Time slots are business- friendly but not client-friendly. Was too short. Luckily the weather was nice so we could move to finish our desert and coffee on an extra terras they made. Waiter was a bad actor. Tried to act friendly but always seemed to be in a hurry. Also when we asked questions, he didn’t seem to like it. Was a little arrogant.Drinks expensive.Food didn’t meet the expectations at all. As it’s a very busy restaurant and you have to book in advance, you expect it to be good. It wasn’t at all. We did not enjoy the food. All the dishes (tapas as well as pizzas) had this strange orange-sour-chilli-mayo kind of sauce which wasn’t even good. Pizza-dough was very chewy. Only the desserts were ok.We won’t go there anymore.Dear travelingwithtw0kids,Thank you for your feedback.We are so sorry to hear that you will no longer be visiting our restaurant any time soon - or ever again.You state that the time slots we are using in our restaurant time and reservation policy is not client friendly but business friendly. That is not entirely true. We have a huge demand of reservations on a daily basis, and trust us on this one, we have had to decline a significant amount of clients everyday. Due to this, we are obliged to make use of two different time slots: one from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and one from 7:45 p.m. until the closing of the restaurant. We estimate 2 hours for the first shift, taking into account that people who eat at 6 p.m. go to sleep earlier and therefore will finish around 8 p.m. (this was based on a sample of a mini research we did couple of years ago). This actually works and we think we can say that the majority of the renowned restaurants in Belgium use the same time slots. People who arrive at 20.30 and eat around 20.45 are, in our opinion, people who go home later and therefore we grant them until the end of the evening to enjoy their stay at Baracca. Isn’t this a bit logic? If 2 h is not enough time to enjoy a nice dinner, keeping in mind that you arrive at 18 p.m., then maybe you should try a fastfood restaurant or staying in? Given the refined and original dishes we serve, it’s actually quite impressive that our chefs can prepare such dishes in such short timeframe. Our main goal is to keep everyone happy, both our staff as our clients, and given the high demand of reservation we felt forced to organize our reservation policy between two time slots. Sorry that we do not agree on this.So sad to hear that you called our waiter a bad actor. He has graduated from the best acting school of Belgium! No really, we have never heard such comments about our waiters since they work with passion and enthusiasm every day.With regard to the foods and the drinks, we will not take too much time to discuss your taste, as there is no accounting for taste. We have one of the best chefs in our kitchen who has this extreme passion for cooking and when passion is involved, the food is good. This is not debatable. We will accept the fact that you didn’t enjoy our tapa’s, pizza’s and this strange orange sour chili mayo kind of sauce (which is by the way not present in every dish - except for our veggies and vegan pizza - which is by the way indicated on the menu so if you have had a past traumatic experience with a strange orange sour chili mayo kind of sauce which doesn’t let you sleep at night, well you better read the menu thoroughly beforehand.)Lastly, our pizza-dough is everything except chewy.Sad to hear you won’t pass by Baracca again, but we still wish you a very nice day and hope you won’t get confronted with that weird orange sauce again any time soon!Pasquale “Kiko” AmorusoCo-owner Baracca Leuven

Nice Italian restaurant, good fresh homemade pasta (I had pappardelle), cozy atmosphere and kind personnel. The price-quality relationship, however, is a bit unbalanced. 17,00€ for a pasta dish might be normal (apparently) in Leuven, but 5,00€ for half a liter still water is a bit too much.Salve,Grazie per il buon comment.Comunque la pasta (papardelle) 17 euro erono con i gamberi Rossi. Questo piatto pure in Italia si paga neu ristoranti di qualita. Non solo a leuven.A Urbino 1/2 litrl di acqua ad un ristorante di qualita quanto lo pagi?Eccho perche 1200 km piu in alto si paga 5 euro.Se dovessi sapere quanto la paggiamo noi l acqua capiresti.Grazie

Zoff

Reviewed By Trainbleu

Misled by the many raving reviews claiming Zoff was ‘the real thing’ as far as Italian cuisine is concerned, we had lunch here recently and were bitterly disappointed. We ordered one of our favourite light meals, spinach and ricotta cannelloni (‘canelloni’ on the menu) and were served a dish we didn’t recognise. The cannelloni were hidden under a thick layer of brownish sauce topped with whole walnuts and surrounded by rocket (arugula) leaves. Rocket has become the signature ingredient of Italian cuisine outside of Italy but finding it in béchamel sauce was a first. The walnuts were mentioned on the menu, but why add an unnecessary allergen to a simple pasta dish? At 16.90 euros, our cannelloni were ridiculously overpriced. We were also amazed the 'small water' we ordered wasn't a bottle but a small glass brought to our table. We like to know what we are drinking.

Thursday evening, the evening student go out in Leuven, so the place was very busy, but we did not experience that as a problem, because the restaurant has various rooms, so that it doesn't feel as too big.Price wise, it's not really a student restaurant ( unless for students with a higher allowance ).Food and service however is very good.My wife and daughter had ravioli, I had faisant.Both were more then ok.
