The story
Osteria Moretti at Aldestraat 20 in Hasselt is an Italian kitchen that Gault&Millau scored 14 in its 2026 guide. Hostess Tiana Moretti and chef Alexander Reniers run it together.
The osteria has a stylish, warm interior, an open kitchen and a lively bar in the middle of Hasselt. Tiana Moretti looks after the room, and Alexander Reniers cooks. By day the pair keep the lunch menu compact and easy to approach. The Michelin Guide lists the restaurant as Recommended for 2026.
Moretti describes itself as a gastrobar with a corner of its own, a little headstrong on the plate, in the glass and in the experience. The wine list is a careful selection of wines and sparkling bottles. You can take a seat at the bar for a drink, or book a table for lunch or dinner.
The kitchen also sends its flavors out the door. Antipasti, lasagne, melanzane, cannelloni and tiramisu are available as takeaway. The La Cantina shop sells homemade limoncello and gift baskets of Italian specialties. Early risers can pick up an Italian coffee and a croissant at the Sunrise take-away.
