Maasmechelen
Maasmechelen: a small municipality with a big history. Nowadays everyone immediately thinks of the famous shopping outlet Maasmechelen Village, but it is what lies behind the outlet that has put Maasmechelen on the map.
When the coal mines were opened at the beginning of the 20th century, Maasmechelen was an attraction for guest workers. At first mainly for the Poles, Czechs and Hungarians, later mainly for the Italians, Turks, Greeks and Spaniards.
And it is precisely because of those guest workers that Maasmechelen is a real mix of different cultures. Nowhere else can you taste more of Europe than here, and surrounded by beautiful panoramas.

Osteria Cellini
As a child I wanted to be a pilot. But as I grew up I became fascinated with Mom's cooking. In 1973 she started the 'Ristorante Da Lidia' with dad. People came from far and wide to taste the dishes of the cucina Marchigiana. And I got to help... But I'm back. Together with my ravishing wife ceramist Maddalena Pantano and with Francesca and Gianmarco, the third generation, we present our new restaurant in Maasmechelen. We put our heart and soul into it and all the delights of the Marche. With us you can taste a piece of Italian heaven.
