Eating Around with Em

PICI Antwerp

Pici (Muntstraat) and its sister location Pici (Dageraadplaats), are Italian pasta restaurants in Antwerp that focus on simple, fresh ingredients and traditional pasta making. The concept centres on hand-made pasta and a limited menu of Italian classics, with dishes like pappardelle al ragù, pici cacio e pepe and other pasta specialities that highlight organic vegetables and herbs.

Both venues bring a casual yet intentional dining experience to their respective neighbourhoods, where the pared-back interiors and focus on seasonal ingredients shape the atmosphere. The menu also includes antipasti and Italian desserts.

Em’s star rating

Pici is a relaxed Italian pasta spot in Antwerp that feels like a simple celebration of good ingredients and classic dishes. On the menu you’ll find pappardelle al ragù and pici cacio e pepe, both made with fresh, hand-made pasta, as well as antipasti and light desserts.

Fun fact

Pici Muntstraat and Pici Dageraadplaats both grew from the same no-nonsense pasta concept that focuses on fresh, hand-made pasta with organic vegetables and herbs, and at both locations, you can actually watch the chefs make the pasta in the open kitchen, a nod to Italian tradition and craftsmanship.
