Our Essence
"Our Essence at Licoli, authenticity meets artistry. We honor the Neapolitan tradition while elevating it with uncompromising attention to detail, seasonal excellence, and the finest raw ingredients.Every element is carefully considered, from the dough and the oven’s flame to the interiors and the atmosphere, to create an experience that transcends dining. Here, flavor is not just tasted, but felt, and every visit becomes a discovery of refinement, passion, and intimacy."
The central bar sets the stage for Licoli: a place where the oven is both heart and theatre, where every pizza is created in plain sight and served at the exact moment it leaves the fire. Guests are invited into an atmosphere that is relaxed yet elevated, intimate yet sophisticated.
A wide sunlit terrace offers a space to linger with friends over food and wine, while handcrafted ceramic works by Chef Luca’s mother add a subtle, personal elegance to the interiors.
The design of the restaurant reflects our philosophy: refined, timeless, and deeply human.
Every element at Licoli is chosen with intent. From the fermentation of the dough to the sourcing of ingredients, nothing is left to chance.
The tableware, the light, the ceramics, even the rhythm of service — each detail is part of a larger harmony, designed to elevate the experience.
It is in these quiet details that refinement lives, and where the difference between dining and true hospitality reveals itself.
Our pizzas are rooted in Neapolitan tradition, but defined by modern precision. The dough ferments for 72 hours with lievito in coltura liquida, liquid sourdough, a method that ensures lightness, character, and depth of flavor.
Each dish is composed with a craftsman’s discipline and an artist’s eye: only seasonal ingredients, sourced from trusted producers who share our devotion to authenticity.
The culinary journey extends to a wine list curated by sommelier Tresor Vets, a selection designed not only to pair but to elevate, transforming each course into a dialogue between food and wine.
The experience concludes with our house-made desserts, refined reinterpretations of Italian classics, the final gesture of care in a menu conceived to delight the senses from start to finish.
Born in Naples, Chef Luca Fabozzi carries with him the soul of Neapolitan pizza, a heritage of fire, tradition, and devotion. His journey across Belgium has been defined by an uncompromising pursuit of excellence: from perfecting his dough with liquid sourdough fermentation to curating every ingredient with the same rigor and respect as the great artisans of his homeland.
Licoli is the culmination of that journey: a space that reflects Luca's philosophy, where authenticity is elevated by elegance and every creation bears his signature.
As a young pizzaiolo, Luca unites tradition with innovation. His approach is both deeply personal and outward-looking, constantly shaped by collaborations with chefs and sommeliers, and inspired by the vibrant culinary culture of Antwerp.
Yet behind the refinement lies something more intimate: a sense of home. The ceramics crafted by his mother in the restaurant, the warm familiarity of the bar, the open fire of the oven — these are not details, but reflections of Luca's heart.
Each pizza is not simply a dish, but a story: of Naples, of family, of passion, and of the artistry that defines Licoli.
Excellence is never solitary. At Licoli, we invite chefs, sommeliers, and leading figures from Antwerp and beyond to share their vision, crafting one-night-only menus and experiences that cannot be repeated.These evenings are an exploration of creativity, where boundaries are pushed and traditions reimagined.They are moments that elevate Licoli from a restaurant into a stage for dialogue, artistry, and discovery.
