About the Vibe
Pomo Madou has been a Sicilian staple in Brussels for two decades, and under Settimo Parrinello’s stewardship since 2021, it’s maintained that warm, family-run charm that keeps locals coming back. You’ll find authentic Sicilian dishes done right—think fresh pasta, grilled seafood, and those generous portions that scream “eat till you can’t move.” Skip the tourist traps in the city center; this is where Brussels’ Italian community eats, and that’s always a good sign.

Authentic Sicilian Comfort Food
Pomo Madou is the kind of place that feels like a warm hug from your Italian nonna. Settimo Parrinello took over in 2021 and kept the soul of the place intact—no pretension, just solid Sicilian food served with genuine warmth. The pasta is clearly made fresh, and if you’re feeling adventurous, try the grilled octopus or the house special pasta. Portions are generous enough to share (or not—we won’t judge), and the staff treats you like family from the moment you walk in. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. This is real, honest cooking that reminds you why you fell in love with Italian food in the first place.
