Pasta Pasta — Restaurant in Amsterdam

place looked busy so my boyfriend and i decided to eat here. while waiting for food i saw the waiter yelling at other table saying there was “no time”, i don’t know the context but it seemed like the table had made a request that upset the waiter. then due to the time it was only my table and a table with two young men. these young men received their food and then we noticed they stood up almost immediately with their plates to take back to the kitchen. at the same time we seemed to have been getting the same plates these young men had just returned so my boyfriend asked the waiter. once we confronted the waiter he became aggressive and threw the plates back on the table where we were sitting and then told us straight up to “fuck off”. after this i stood up and walked to leave to which the waiters response was to run to the door and aggressively close it so we wouldn’t leave. then he walked towards me and got so close to me i thought he was going to push me back (he did not). i am a 5’5 woman and was very scared at this moment. i kept saying how i had never been treated this way. my boyfriend sat down to eat to try to diffuse the situation. he tried the food and immediately stood up telling me how it was disgusting, overcooked and bland. i didn’t try the food cause it straight up looked disgusting. my boyfriend ended up paying 50 euros for this experience so we could leave. left hungry, shaking, with tears in my eyes and terrified of my experience in amsterdam as this was the first restaurant we tried visiting. i cannot stress it enough, do...

Our experience at PastaPasta was disappointing overall. While we were drawn in by positive reviews highlighting its affordability, our visit did not meet expectations.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with indifference and seated promptly, which was a positive start. However, ordering became problematic when I requested a simple Pasta Pomodoro (pasta with tomato sauce) without onions due to dietary restrictions. The server seemed reluctant and unhelpful, pushing a more expensive option with bacon and onions instead of accommodating a straightforward request to modify a less expensive dish like Pasta Arabiata by removing the spice for a nominal charge.

Unfortunately, my pasta arrived with large onion pieces despite my request. It was bland and overpriced for what essentially seemed like plain tomato sauce with onions added. Additionally, my friend's pizza was excessively greasy, making her feel unwell, and she ended up leaving half uneaten.

Throughout our meal, the service was lacking. We were not checked on or asked if everything was satisfactory, unlike other tables that received attentive service. Even during payment, the cashier did not inquire about our experience.

While the ambiance and cleanliness were acceptable, the restroom cleanliness was subpar. Compared to other pasta places we tried during our visit to Amsterdam, PastaPasta fell short in terms of flavor and value for money.

Overall, our visit left us unimpressed and...

Worst Food Experience in Amsterdam. A tourist Trap. Don't go there, unless you like to be treated like a number.

our story :

After settling down for an evening meal (3 persons + 1 child), a haughty waitress asks us what we want to drink. I answer that I am not having a drink at the moment (we come from a bar), I just want to order food. When I ask my friends if they want to have something to drink, the waitress interrupts me and tells me that everyone has to drink something (in addition to eating), or leave ! This is the house rule !

Besides the fact that this rule is not written on the menu or at the entrance of the restaurant, it was the roughness of the waitress that shocked us. No tact. There are plenty of polite ways to say it, she didn't choose one of them.

When I complained to the boss, we were told that they have 200 customers a day, there is nothing to discuss. So you get the philosophy of that place…

In short, a tourist restaurant that takes advantage of its location and has no respect for its customers...

There are 200 other restaurants in the vicinity, so no reason to choose this one.

We went out and ate very well at another Italian restaurant a...
