Rosso Bianco — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We went to Bella Ciao for a dinner.

The inside looks really pretty, modern and clean. The tables are cosy and the atmosphere is nice. It can get a bit loud if there’s more people inside, but closer to 9pm it got a bit quieter. There’s also an area deeper inside the restaurant, but it’s darker and we preferred to be seated next to the window.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, they went above and beyond to assist with any little request we had.

Food was also very tasty. There were a few things that I would have potentially changed. Tuna tartare was high quality and tasty, but there wasn’t enough cheese or bread so at some point you ended up eating just the meat and it can become a little bit tiring.

We also had the truffle pasta - perfect, no notes, as well as the New Zealand steak - it was tasty, but not extraordinary, hence I wouldn’t order again. I wish there was a bit more of a carb served with it. Vegetables were good and well seasoned though.

We also had pizza - I personally didn’t like the pickled (?) mushrooms and would have preferred fresh. I also wish they would use real prosciutto cotto cause the ham didn’t taste like it. The dough was good.

I would come again for a casual dinner...

Update (3rd revision): It seems the owner is trying to discredit my review — a pattern you’ll notice if you read how they respond to anyone giving less than 5 stars. For the record: I visited on July 2 at 20:07 and paid €56 for two pizzas and a beer. I can provide the invoice as proof. Claiming that unhappy guests were never there is dishonest.

Even more worrying: many of the 5-star reviews use identical or clearly photoshopped photos, which strongly suggests fake reviews. This feels like a scam operation. Be careful.

Update (2nd revision): In response to the owner: I visited 3–4 weeks ago and paid nearly €60 for two people. The pizza tasted like it had been frozen, with a few toppings added on top. That’s not fresh — and definitely not worth €30 per pizza. Rather than threatening customers, try focusing on your food quality.

Original review: They serve what seems like frozen pizza with toppings added for €60 for two people — a complete rip-off, even by Amsterdam standards. Poor quality and not worth the money.

If you’re in the area, I recommend Bella Storia around the corner — fresh wood oven pizza for almost half the price. Much better quality...

Great Italian restaurant! There is a good variety of food options, between pasta and pizzas. We had the orecchiette and one calzone with mushroom and prosciutto, they were both very tasty and quite abundant with regards to portions. If you keep in mind the quality of the dishes, I believe that prices are actually slightly lower than an average Italian restaurant! Very affordable dishes overall Atmosphere inside is lovely, can be very romantic but also informal, suitable for a date or for a more laid back hang out with friends. Really like the design of their interiors and the lighting, I find it very aesthetic! Location wise is a bit outside the city center, just below westerpark and a bit outside Jordaan, so if you are in the area and look for a good Italian restaurant this is the place! Staff was all Italian and very helpful and kind! Definitely recommend...
