Restaurant FAAM — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Unfortunately you can not book a table at this place. Not a big problem, but that is where it starts. Once you have a table and get the menu, the real issues start. We got some starters, in our case Focaccia bread and half of it was cold and to be clear i don't mean the full bread was half cold. I mean 3 slices piping hot and 2 stone cold. This leads me to belive we either got some leftovers from another plate. or they dropt some when taking it out of the oven and did not bother making new ones, just popping some cold bread on the plate and forget about it. Next up the main course. Time for a good pizza and new options. We were told about the special week pizza with sounded like an odd but intriguing pizza soni ordered it, then i got told 1 minute later they did not have any... right, another one then. I ordered the 4 cheeses, a bit basic but should taste good atleast. And i thought you know what, id like to have some parma ham on this. Should be easy right slap some ham on there after the bake, i pay some more money and they make a larger profit? But no, no changes, no additional toppings and no custom pizzas. Fine, ill eat the 4 cheeses as is i guess. Well if you are still reading this you are either intrigued, a potential client or the owner. All of whom should take a lesson out of this story, but before i let you go. A dessert, as all dinners should end with one. A scroppino sounds nice doesn't it. We thought so atleast... but as you may have expected, an issue was just around the corner. Guess what readers, it is only served in the size of a karav. Which will have around 4 glasses in there and its not possible to make a 2 person serving. Why o why would you serve a desert drink which is easy to store and pour in the sizes of 4 and 8...

A local friend of mine took me to Faam because, according to her, it's one of the best pizza places in the whole city, so my expectations were pretty high.

Firstly, the service was absolutely phenomenal. Two waitresses took care of us during our visit, chatted with us in fluent English and made our experience at the restaurant better than I had expected.

While the pizzas are on the pricier side, I'd say it's almost justified. The portions are big, like, the pizzas were massive, but I don't know if this is a Neapolitan pizza thing or not but the center of my pizza was very soggy, which gave it an undercooked kind of feeling that I didn't enjoy, even though it was probably perfectly cooked. Careful with the salciccia pizza because the spicy meat is definitely spicy 😂

My only complaint is that I was offered a wine, that I had tried before deciding on it, but the waitress did not mention that it's almost a 9€ glass of wine and the pour was definitely not worth the 9€ of chardonnay, of all wines.

The bathroom had its charm, just like the restaurant itself, but the sink was incredibly tiny so the water went everywhere.

I'd definitely recommend this place for good pizza but I'd be careful with the wines and I'd inquire for the price beforehand,...

We planned to have dinner at Faam as it is usually a nice and easy place to go to. But lately the service is so bad and today we just had enough after our starter as we were sitting outside next to the kitchen and couldn’t understand our own words as the two chefs were so loud, obnoxious and annoying. It seemed like they had a houseparty, behaved like they are too cool for school, maybe even high on something. It was so unpleasant that we left after the drink and one dish. A nice social vibe is one thing but this was next level irritating. The good is normally good, but we will rather go to other places with decent...
