Absolutely superb, and I really really mean that. I’m not even one to give out good reviews, but I felt indebted to this great establishment . I highly recommend it. Lenny, Jaime and Bram looked after me so well. Lenny made me feel at home, as-well as all the staff. Thank you Baracca. Will definitely come again

Trendy and popular Italian restaurant with a cosy terrace (totally covered & heated in winter) located in the vibrant Tiensestraat in the city centre of Leuven.They serve a nice selection of delightful & fresh Italian-inspired social bites or shared dishes, blending traditional Italian with modern fusion. They also offer a wide variety of delicious cocktails/mocktails and pizzas. I have been there already several times, mainly for dinner and all the dishes they served from starter to dessert were truly delicious, unique, well-balanced and beautifully presented with a creative touch. Not cheap but price quality is excellent! Like many restaurants these days Baracca works with two shifts in the evening : if you opt for an early dinner (the restaurant opens at 17h30) then you get 2 hours to eat, if you opt for a late dinner at 20h00, then you can stay until closing time. Highly recommended but make sure to book in advance!
