Restaurant Di Bruno — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We went to this restaurant yesterday and we were entirely disappointed.

Our first impression was already bad when they didn't have a table for us although we booked. We had to wait 20 minutes before being properly seated.

The menu looked ok but a bit pricey, with pasta ranging from 20 to 25 EUR.

We ordered the risotto with truffle, crab ravioli and a pasta al ragu.

The risotto was burned and didn't taste or smell truffle (not even oil or cream from the super market, nada) so really below something you would do home. The ravioli were not with real crab and were really dry. The ragu was really liquid and seems more like frozen or so.

Overall the pasta weren't fresh ones and just supermarket type of pasta.

We paid 31 EUR per person. Today I want to Jumbo to compare their raviolis. Honestly it was better and costed only 6 EUR for 2.

If I can give you an advice, if you plan to go there... Go to jumbo and buy some pasta to microwave. Save 56 EUR and buy a present to you wife.

Cheers.

1/10 restaurant. To avoid...

Quite disappointed by this restaurant.I am Italian and very familiar to good food. The food was good but service very very slow, we waited more than 45 minutes between starter and main course. Our friend chose raviolis ricotta and spinach and were given without notice crab fish and unfortunately they were allergic to seafood. We all ate our meal and they were served when we ended ours. They offered us a limoncello but we were so disappointed and did not accept, no effort was made on the bill. A new chef had just started but did not follow what was mentioned on the menu, the spaghetti agio and olio with brocolis came with no brocolis. The place is small and very noisy. The young staff tried their best and simply apologized but they were not responsible. I would not recommend the place as quite...

Der Koch war wohl verliebt.

We ate two days in a row in another Italian restaurant and I convinced everyone to try something new on our last evening. We checked some reviews and were slightly misled by these. The Carbonara was heavily oversalted, almost impossible to eat. The salmon was so lala, we ate much better one before (and even I can cook a better one). Unfortunately no one was even asking how the food is (which I think is a standard question from waiter/owner/cook). The restaurant is nicely situated and the waiter tried his best, but unfortunately it is completely overprized for the food you get (not included the carbonara for €24, which was not worth 5 euros). We had one main dish...
