Nona

Nona is a taste of the good life in Brussels, with its striped monochrome awning, marbled counter, and Neapolitan slow-rising-dough pizzas. Except for the Italian tomatoes and olive oil, all of the components, including the mozzarella di bufala, are Belgian and generally organic. Try pumpkin and bacon pizzas, gorgonzola, pear and pine nuts pizzas, or the vegetarian 'From Dries with Love' pizza.

It's straightforward. They prepare authentic Italian cuisine with fresh Belgian products. Because it's just more convenient that way.

At Nona, they are a little fascinated with ingredients. They work with organic, family-run farms to provide all of the greatest produce the season has to offer in their kitchens. We're a little strict about it, to be sure.

They have all lost their way a little when it comes to food, thanks to strip-lit stores and synthetic agribusiness. Have you ever compared a fresh, sun-ripened tomato to one grown artificially in a greenhouse? It's hard to believe the difference. That's why their menus use solely seasonal ingredients from local farms. Yes, even the basil leaves are included.
