Fuoco Vivo — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Bummer ending to a perfect night. After having an awesome pizza (like seriously great) I went to pay and was told that the only forms of payment other than cash they accept is Maestro, which as a Californian, I of course don't have. Cash-only businesses aren't bad, that's not the issue here. The issue lies in the communication. It's 2017 - almost 2018 - and a cash-only restaurant - as nice as this one is - is by far the exception; and they should've mentioned that while seating us. I suggested to the staff that a great time to let people know about this is before they order. They disagreed and said that they let people know by... right... placing a Maestro sticker amidst a sea of stickers on one of their windows. By doing that, they say they properly communicated. The waiter even acknowledged that this happens "all the time." Umm... if it happens all the time, then that means the issue needs to be communicated better. Anyway, super frustrating. The nearest ATM is across the river about a 10-minute round-trip errand tacked on to what would've been a great experience. Also, just a side note for Americans... they charge 3.50 euro for plain, regular, non-sparkling water. Yes, the same price as a glass...

Having reviewed pizza all over the world I wanted to try one of the highest rated pizza restaurants in Amsterdam that was pretty close to the houseboat I was staying on. I had already picked up a bottle of Chianti red wine so I decided to get the pizza to go. I ordered the traditional margarita pizza. The price was very reasonable. The service was good and the oven was large enough that they had the pizza out very quickly. The pizza is a sourdough pizza with very light and natural tasting ingredients which allows you to really taste the crust. I could tell that the sauce was made in house and the mozzarella was fresh. The pizza oven crisps the bottom nicely and leaves an awesome crust around the edge. If you decide to eat in there are dining options out front and a cozy environment inside. Overall, really enjoyed the pizza and I highly recommend...

This pizza can't be the best in the city. I had salsiccia pizza and a glass of red house wine. First of all, the wine was tasting like cheap red wine mixed with cherry juice and then diluted with water. When it comes to pizza, the tomato sauce was good, mozzarella is okay and it had a nicely fermented dough but it was soggy right in the middle, u can't even lift a slice. All the toppings (in my case one, salsiccia) were just falling. It was a busy Friday night, but cmon. Why make thick crust if I can't lift the slice. If u want me to eat with cutlery then change the type of the pizza. I couldn't even finish it, left two slices behind (a major sin in the pizza world).I'm honestly disappointed. The staff was very sincere, helpful and friendly and the...
