About the Vibe
Perched on the chic Avenue de Tervueren, Le Buone Maniere is where Maurizio Zizza turns Italian classics into edible art. This isn't your average trattoria—think vitello tonnato with playful textures and a tiramisu that's light as a feather but packed with marsala. The service is personal (Zizza himself often serves), and the setting in this stately mansion feels like dining in someone's elegant home.

Italian elegance with a personal touch
Le Buone Maniere is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a local secret, even though it's been quietly earning its reputation for years. Chef Maurizio Zizza doesn't just cook Italian food—he curates it, taking familiar dishes and giving them subtle, sophisticated twists that don't overwhelm the palate. The vitello tonnato is a perfect example: rich and flavorful but with textures that keep you guessing, and the tiramisu is so light you'd swear it's floating on air despite the marsala kick.
What sets this place apart is the warmth of the service. Zizza isn't behind a pass—he's out there greeting guests, sometimes even serving tables himself. The dining room, housed in a beautiful mansion on Avenue de Tervueren, feels intimate and refined without being stuffy. It's the kind of spot where you'll find Brussels locals celebrating milestones, business folks closing deals over wine, and couples stealing kisses in the corner.
