After the end of WW2, a constant flow of Italians migrated to Belgium. Most of them came to work in the mines near Charleroi, but many settled in Brussels.
This shop is owned by a third generation Belgian. The grand-mother left Italy in the 50s, established a pasta place in Anderlecht and open this shop a couple of decades later. The only thing left from that period is the giant sign.
The picture below is a second take. Another one is in the gallery under “night shops”. I know, technically it is not a night shop.Whatever.
