The story
Trattoria Bazalia in Antwerpen is an Italian trattoria at Koningin Astridplein 11 in Bazel, where Gault&Millau awarded the kitchen 12.5 in 2026. The menu draws on Italian regional cooking, with pure Mediterranean flavours at its core.
Gault&Millau notes that vegetables take a primary role in the Italian repertoire here. Mushrooms, winter truffle and pecorino give depth to al dente linguine. A gently confited pheasant leg sits alongside, a sign that the kitchen handles richer dishes with the same care.
The restaurant sits on the first floor and describes its atmosphere as relaxed, with service that is easygoing and quick. Each month the kitchen puts a different Italian region in the spotlight. When the weather is fine, the front terrace opens.
