Julia's Amsterdam Zuid — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Julia’s Amsterdam Zuid has quickly become my go-to spot whenever I’m craving fresh, delicious pasta. Whether I’m in a rush or have time to sit and enjoy, this place never disappoints. The combination of quality ingredients, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it one of the best casual dining experiences in the city.

One of the things I love most about Julia’s is their consistency. Every time I visit, the pasta is cooked to perfection – perfectly al dente, rich in flavor, and always fresh. Their sauces are incredibly well-balanced, whether you go for the creamy carbonara, the bold and spicy arrabbiata, or the fragrant pesto. You can also customize your order with different toppings, which is a great touch if you like to mix things up.

The carbonara is my absolute favorite. The sauce is silky and rich, with just the right amount of pancetta to add that salty, savory depth. The cheese melts beautifully into the pasta, creating the perfect bite every time. The arrabbiata is another standout – if you like a little heat, this sauce delivers the perfect kick without overpowering the dish. And if you’re in the mood for something lighter, their pesto pasta is fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor.

What really sets...

I don’t know why this place has poor ratings but it’s a gem. I accidentally found this place when I was hurrying to get the train to get the quick bite. Unfortunately they ran out of the dish which I asked for, instead they suggested to go for pasta. I ordered vegetarian penne pesto here with some extra chillies and was lost. It tasted amazing, and I had a cappuccino here and it’s was perfect. So I decided to had another meal here and got arabiatta and it did not disappoint me either. I highly recommend this place if you are around the station to go for breakfast or lunch and not to miss this place. The price of meals are very reasonable and bit cheaper compared...

So I ordered carbonara and paid EXTRA for additional sauce/pancetta and this is what I got which looked exactly like a regular order w/o additional. I didn’t even cared when she put so little rocket leaves but the sauce? I tried to talk to the staff who made my order but she insisted that the pancetta is included in the sauce (which I understood) Does this looks extra? I stir to check maybe there are more sauce at the bottom but no. Not trying to be a Karen but maybe next time give your customers what exactly what they pay for and try to be a little nicer. ☺️...
