Restaurant Toscana — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Small plate at 14.5€ they say it is enough because it is "home made". I am a small/medium eater. I hate all inclusive food. Well here i expected quality. I had a very little lasagne portion in a big plate. I asked cheese to complete. 4€ extra for small free cheese which was not real parmigiano regiano. The waitress pretended that those 75 grams of lasagne were enough for all customers and the loved it so much that they usually give 12,50 € tip. It was really salty, more than the cheese. The price of the meal was also 2€ higher than the shown price on the menu at the bill (just in case). For me and my girlfriend it was a bad experience. Italian food for us is a standard. Here it was ... deceiving. I do not recommend. My girlfriend took pasta carbonara : she had no egg in it. Why not but do not call it so :-/ You want to eat ? Go mac donalds. They use real Ámsterdam cheese at the moment. This italian had nothing...

The pizza is bad. I have not tried the rest (so maybe it is better ?). I am having an hard time understanding the reviews saying it is delicious. Italian food, and mostly for pizzas and pastas are easy to make in the process. Everyone can do it. So what makes the difference here- and in Italian food in general is the amazing QUALITY of the ingredients. I took the oregano pizza. It is only 3 ingredients so how can you miss it ? None of them were fresh (not even the oregano come on), greasy and dry bad quality pizza cheese added on top and bad quality tomato sauce. I don't even want talk about the carbonara that my friends took, which was literally the spaghetti with Albert Heijn ham striped and CREAM and no parmigiano. It was an absolute waste of money. Maybe they should have a smaller menu with way better...

Came here on a sunny Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a plate of shrimp pasta spaghetti with cream sauce. also had a toscana coffee.. Really nice atmosphere and I was able to eat right on the street

+++. The food was served in a quick manner yet you could tell it was homemade and good quality ingredients. The owner (Irzan, Urzan???)... was very personable and professional. The food was delicious and a great price!!!

definitely recommend this joint if you got a hankering for good Italian food.
