La Bellezza, trattoria autentica
La Bellezza was born in the heart of Vieux Lille, at 126 rue Esquermoise in a former fabric shop. Our theatre-esque trattoria, with its seven-meter glass roof, library and open kitchen, is a haven for Italian cuisine lovers. Chef Thomas Carraro and his team have crafted a menu as an ode to la dolce vita: generous dishes made with seasonal produce carefully sourced from small Italian producers - without the middlemen. From the Puglian burrata with autumn truffle cream, to the arancini alla carbonara with crispy Gombitelli guanciale, to the fresh plin pasta handmade every morning and stuffed with veal and Bolognian mortadella.
