Spaghetteria Caffè — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I truly love this cute little pasta bar! I’ve visited it a few times, and honestly, it’s probably my favorite place for pasta in Amsterdam. The menu is not very big, and the food options are quite limited, but I actually find that a good thing, because fewer items mean they can really focus on cooking pasta perfectly. I usually came here during lunchtime, and my absolute favorite dish to order was Mezze Maniche con Ragù di Cinghiale (Wild Boar Ragù Pasta) – made with wild boar ragout, red wine, rosemary, tomato sauce, and Grana Padano. Trust me, every single time I had it, the dish was super delicious! They absolutely nailed this pasta in every way: the presentation was always attractive; the pasta had the perfect al dente texture and really tasted like freshly made pasta; the ragù meat was soft, flavorful, and slow-cooked; the sauce had a rich tomato flavor with just a hint of sweetness, and the way all those flavors came together was a killer! Honestly, this is one of my TOP favorite pasta dishes I’ve ever had in my life! I highly recommend trying it here! Another plus is how quickly they prepared the meal – usually within 10 minutes, so I never had to wait long. This dish also comes with a piece of bread, which was always fresh and tasty. This Wild Boar Ragù Pasta costs €16, and I think this price is reasonable for its high quality and portion size – it always filled me up completely. Once I also tried their Bruschetta, and it was excellent – fresh and flavorful; I can highly recommend it as a starter. Price-wise, my bill was usually around €20 for a pasta and a soft drink, and once, with Bruschetta, it came to about €28. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. At lunchtime it was usually only half full, so I never had trouble finding a table inside. Twice I was lucky to sit outside, which is definitely my preference when the Amsterdam weather is nice. This pasta bar is always spotless – they clean tables right after guests leave. And what I really appreciate is that, even though the space is small and the kitchen is open, it never smells like food inside. The interior design is simple but pretty and cozy – a very pleasant atmosphere to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff were always sweet and friendly to me. By the way, I first discovered the Wild Boar Ragù Pasta because a super sweet cashier/waitress suggested it, and I’m still really grateful for her tip. Now it’s my turn to pass the tip on to you: go visit this pasta bar and order the Mezze Maniche con Ragù di Cinghiale –...

One of many great authentic Italian restaurants that you can find in Amsterdam city. The food is absolutely delicious and freshly made. Pasta as it should be, simple yet delicious and full of flavour!!

The crew is friendly and helpful. It’s great to see the crew at work in the open kitchen. The interior is welcoming and feels homely.

I did not make a reservation, I was a walk-in on a Monday early afternoon around 1.30pm. I was the only customer at that time, so it was nice to have the entire restaurant to myself.

I had the “Spaghetti ala chitarra con aglio eolio”. Which is Spaghetti with olive oil, chili peppers, garlic, parsley and Pecorino Romano cheese. It was really good and the fresh baked bread is a perfect vehicle to accompany the pasta and to scoop up the olive oil and herbs to clean up the plate.

For drinks I had the peach juice and for dessert I had their tiramisu. It was creamy, had a good consistency and most importantly it was not overly sweet.

Definitely recommended to spend some time here by yourself or with friends and/or family and enjoy some delicious authentic...

Well this is a 8,5€ bruschetta.. yes.. 8,5€! A slice of bread thinner than my finger some tomatoes and olive oil. Something that costs to the house less than one euro! I know that amsterdam is overpriced but one thing is being overpriced other is stealing! If the ingredients were good but its so bad so poor quality! The tomatoes have ZERO taste, the cheapest of the cheapest. The bread? Terrible. And they have the courage to charge 8,5€? 😂😂 i mean, i would like the owner to justify. I lived in Italy, i tried a lot of bruschettas. This is the poorest of the poorest yet the most expensive of them all. If i was the owner i would...
