I dined here a few times. Very nice little restaurant with La Mama behind the stove. Menu card is very limited but there is always something that should please you. And there are always a few 'specials of the day', depending on the inspiration of the moment. Very near to the Zavel [Grand Sablon].

I' ve been in this restaurant with a group of friends while visiting Bruxelles. Once we came in the restaurant we were fascinated by the atmosphere that brings you directly home: Tuscany, as i come from there. The "welcome in" was stunning, the staff was very friendly and when they came with the Menu and the Specials they explained all... More

We went to Toscana 21 on a Sunday to have lunch. It's a small place and on the ground floor every table was already booked. So we got a table on the first floor. The interior is really cosy with old tables and chairs in different styles. It's a family run restaurant, informal but a cosy atmosphere. As it is... More

This is the best traditional Italian restaurant in Brussels, well deserving of its high ranking on Tripadvisor. It is superior to any other Italian restaurant I've dined at in Brussels -- and that is quite a few. The higher ranking restaurants, while good, are amateurs compared to Toscana 21. Toscana 21 is a small intimate family-run restaurant off of Sablon... More

Second visit and still the same. Great value for money and fresh produce from tuscany. Service excellent and must book. Great to see mum in the kitchen helping out and catering for kids. Meat starter highly recommended and don't forget about the deserts.

I've been to Tuscany many times visiting friends that live there, and now I have a place in Brussels where I can find the ravioli "gnudi". The owner is ready to guide you through the specials and to explain you about all the little products they present on their appetizer plate (everything directly from home). The place is decorated with... More

Loved loved loved this place. The food was out of this world. The owner/waiter had a grandfatherly charm, and the love and excitement he had for food was clear by the wonderful descriptions, suggestions, and introductions to each item. The place is unpretentious but cozy and lovely. If I lived in Brussels I would eat there constantly.

I have been to Toscana 21 several times and enjoyed the welcoming experience there. Great food, very friendly service, and casual atmosphere. They offer the menu on wooden palettes with hand written pieces of paper. Options are mainly pasta, with a few stewed beef and saute/fried chicken options, and some starters. Their pasta is simply delicious. And the best I... More

Its located in the Sablon area on a paved street with picturesque old houses. Not a big place and if you do wanna dine there make sure to have made the reservation. The interior of the restaurant feels authentic but the color of the walls was a bit too bright to my liking. Menu list was not a long one... More
