Italian Gourmet — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Beware: this place is a SCAM! If you are starving, this is the wrong place. The food portions were surprisingly small, which didn’t align with the high prices of the dishes. The lasagna cost is €15, and they bring a small plate with half of it. Never seen such a small lasagna in my life! Even the frozen ones from the supermarkets are bigger. Moreover, I found it quite unpleasant that they charged me €10 for a glass of wine. In summary, I wouldn’t recommend this place due to the unsatisfactory value for money 👎 PS: responding to the comment of the restaurant: in your menu, there are no prices of the wine glasses at all! I had to ask the waiter and he didn't know the prices. Besides, if you are a real proper Italian place, how can you serve such small quantity of food if the essence of the Italian food is to be abundant? How can you serve such a small Bruschetta bread that looks like a toast for a child? You should rethink about the concept of being “Italian Gourmet”.

All in all, this place is a gem that I would...

Very good food, super nice staff, and nice casual atmosphere. Ate here with friends on a Saturday evening and we really enjoyed it. Everyone was super nice and they were attentive, though not too much.

The beef carpaccio was a large plate, enough for 2-3 people to share as an appetizer easily. We all enjoyed the food very much. Desserts were great. I had the lemon sorbet which came in a frozen lemon peel - delicious. Other friend had the tiramisu which of course was good. Everything was well cooked and well presented.

We had a bottle of wine and as we were trying to decide between 2 wines, they let us taste both before choosing.

It is a family run restaurant and everyone was very friendly and sweet. Will...
