Da Filippo — Restaurant in Amsterdam

BEWARE: An extremely unpleasant experience. If I could give negative stars, I would. A very old man (unclear if he’s the owner or staff) verbally harassed us out of nowhere. My friends and I bought food from the shop next door (Amsterdam Baking Company) and accidentally sat at one of Da Filippo’s tables. The tables are lined up along the walkway, so it’s very easy to confuse which belongs to which business.

Instead of calmly pointing it out, this man stormed over, started yelling at us, and repeatedly called us “idiots” while waving his hands and chasing us away. We apologized sincerely, but he just kept mocking and insulting us even louder. It was unnecessary, humiliating, and completely unprofessional.

Here’s my honest opinion: Any positive review about this place should be taken with a grain of salt. I genuinely don’t understand how a business treating people like this is still open.

Avoid Da Filippo...

Do not go! We honestly thought the other reviews were over exaggerated but they’re really not!! Maybe the food can be good but be prepared to be treated horribly and maybe kicked out. Came here with my husband, my cousin and his wife and their 5 year old daughter. As we walked in, he was kicking a young man out, because he asked for a coffee, cursed him and said this was a restaurant and not a caffee and told him to leave. We then sat and started looking at the menu, my cousin ordered one main and they told us “make sure to not order too many different dishes as the kitchen is small” and we were very confused as there was a big menu but were not allowed to pick different items from each other. We wanted to leave but felt super threatened as the owner was very rude, after we got up and told him we changed our mind he started cursing us in Italian and screaming for us to leave even followed us to the...

Great little spot for a tiny restaurant

The service is good , came in near to the closing time but we got the order quite fast and we didn't feel rushed out.

My order of pasta was mistaken (didn't realise till after I started eating ) but even so I enjoyed it so much I didn't mind the screw up.

My partner enjoyed her pizza, the dough looked freshly made and the whole dish appeared to just have been taken out of the oven. (Not a frozen pizza as other reviews said)

The "grumpy old " owner was polite even though his English isn't very good. And the girl serving the tables was fast and attentive.

The items are well priced especially for the area.

Wouldn't say it's a must visit place but it definitely deserves more than a 3 star rating . If you are near and feel the need for some fresh pasta,...
