About
Respect for culture and traditions
Colomba Fabio, Claudio’s father, came to Leuven in the early 1970s and established the iconic Pronto in the Mechelsestraat. An Italian business where generations of students gathered until the early morning hours.
After a fire devastated the original location, they relocated to the Muntstraat, where their success grew even more remarkable.
