Our recent visit to this pizzeria in Amsterdam left us with a positive impression, earning it a solid four-star rating. The star of the show was undoubtedly the pizza, boasting a thin and perfectly crispy crust that carried the authentic taste of Italy. The diverse selection of toppings catered to every palate, and we particularly enjoyed the creative combinations that set this pizzeria apart. We did try the Calzone, Valtellina and Trufolona.
Equally impressive was their pasta, delightful Tagliatelle con Guancia di Maiale Brasata that showcased a perfect al dente texture and Penne con Straccetti di Manzo e Salsa Tartufata with it's rich flavorful sauce. It was evident that the chef paid meticulous attention to the quality of ingredients, creating a memorable pasta experience.
The starters provided a delightful prelude to our main courses. Each bite of the Burrata Tricolore was a burst of flavor, and the Insalata Caprese Classica ensured there was something for everyone. From classic antipasti to inventive twists on traditional favorites, the starters added an extra layer of culinary delight to our dining experience.
The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming, contributing to the overall enjoyment of our evening. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend this pizzeria for anyone seeking authentic and delectable Italian cuisine in the heart of Amsterdam. We look forward to returning to explore more of their...
Read moreVery nice setting in an old building, cool old tiles, there's been a butchery already 100 yrs ago. We had ravioli and pizza. Taste of the food was great and staff was welcoming, even though it was a busy sunday night.
When my pizza arrived, it was darker than the ones I had seen taken to the tables while we were waiting, the bubbles and in general, there was more black burnt on the sides so much that I would not had served. However it was served normally so I asked just to make sure "is pizza here supposed to have so much black on the side". She could not answer to that but eventually she said "tell me if you don't like it and we will get you a new one (just a little hint of frustration on her voice). I did not want to wait for another pizza as it kind of felt that I was becoming a very difficult customer here. I ate it, it tasted good, based on what saw that night, my pizza was clearly more burnt than other pizzas served, we had a nice night.
However, from the customer service viewpoint the situation was so weird and I as customer was kind of pushed in public to do the quality control decision on behalf of the restaurant in a relatively cold manner, and also the whole things was not addressed at all later (felt like it was intentionally forgotten), it made me rate the service...
Read moreService was terrible. We were seated, and that was about that. After a whole long while and many attempts at making eye contact with various servers, we waved less subtly and managed to order with a person based on the restaurant's website we pulled up on our phone (no menu at the table?). At about 50 mins after our reservation time with no contact and no food, we walked up to the counter to ask whether they could check on our order. We then received one of our main courses (a simple salad) 10 or so mins later - pretty sure they forgot our order and threw this together quickly - and then our two pizzas a whole while later with a whispered apology. We had to walk in again to get our invoice and pay, as the waitress who brought our food was seated inside, eating her own dinner at that point. No one else was seemingly interested in or assigned to our table. The smartypants comments by the guy behind the counter handling our payment were the cherry on top. As someone who worked in a similar place for close to five years, please provide these people training on how to provide proper service, proactively manage their clientele and expectations, table assignment, all of it. The food was fine, but pretty sure they forgot the basil on our pizza...
