Da Lino
About
Da Lino is a family‑owned Sicilian‑style restaurant tucked in the heart of Zaventem. With roots tracing back to the 1950s, the Salvaggio family brings authentic Italian flavours to Belgium, offering a menu that spans antipasti, primi, secondi and a range of desserts—all crafted in‑house with fresh, high‑quality ingredients. The pizza is a standout, baked by award‑winning pizzaiolo Franco Salvaggio using a slow‑rising dough that results in an ultra‑light, incredibly flavourful masterpiece. Beyond pizza, diners can explore homemade pasta, a thoughtfully selected wine list of over 150 varieties, and a cozy, stylish interior that balances contemporary chic with classic Italian touches. The affordably priced dishes—from Margherita at €14.50 to Tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale at €23.50—offer plenty of choice for both families and culinary enthusiasts, all served in a welcoming, family‑friendly environment.
