Trevi’s Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We wanted to like this place, a fully vegan Italian place that serves what looks like authentic dishes for reasonable prices? But unfortunately this is not the place to visit for that.

We had the Mona Lisa pizza and the Macaroni pesto pasta (with Parmesan)

The pizza is more of a focaccia, the tomato sauce was pretty much gone / non existent and the dough was pretty hard. The mozzarella didn’t really add anything in terms of taste or presentation since it looked more like a sauce above and the main taste was of the caramelized onions which made the pizza really sweet, a vegan pizza can be without cheese and that’s ok but it needs to have good toppings and a great dough to match it, this wasn’t the case here.

The pesto pasta was more conventional, but too salty for our taste, the Parmesan didn’t really add here anything either, the tomatoes were a good addition and was the only thing the felt fresh in this very heavy dish, but there was way too much oil in the dish.

We finished with their homemade brownie, which was again too much of something, this time sweet, maybe it’s just us but it was not really a good way to finish the dinner, we couldn’t finish it because it was super sweet.

Overall I don’t get the reviews, I would not recommend this place for pizzas (Mastino pizza is close by and by far better) and in terms of pasta, the one we ate I would not recommend at all. Sorry Trevi, the only thing that made it a two star was the nice staff and...

Came in without a reservation. We were 4 people and the place had only 2 other tables of 2 occupied. It’s was empty. They warned us there was no pizza available before we sat down and we decided that’s ok we could get other things from the menu. We proceeded to order some focaccia and pasta, they told there’s no focaccia. So we asked for bruschetta instead, they didn’t have that either. So we asked for the platter sharing of delicacies. Also no. They told us only salads or pasta at this point. So we got 4 pastas and a portion of potatoes and we asked for olives on one of the pastas which they said yes but when it came there was no olives (it was still on our bill at the end but we asked them to remove it) In the meantime both tables before us got pizzas. And a table that arrived after us got a focaccia. We asked and were told they only serve pasta to walk ins and pizza and the rest only with reservation) if that is the case this should be clearly advertised everywhere! ONLY PASTA FOR WALK INS. Sadly, a few moments after that my friends were smoking a cigarette outside and over heard 2 people looking at the menu and wondering if to eat there or not. They decided to eat there in the end after looking at the menu (doesn’t seem like a reservation to me) and surprise they got pizza. While we were there a max of 3 tables were occupied at a time. It was not full at any moment. The pastas were okey, the pesto was...

The fact that this place currently has a 4.8 rating is surprising, to say the least. The simple decor and cheap furniture should have been my first clue to look elsewhere for my pasta fix. We ordered a pizza and a pasta to share, my partner requested the Parmesan cheese on the side. Despite the server confirming that the Parmesan would be served on the side, our pasta was completely covered in the stuff. I flagged the error and she acknowledged it immediately and took the plate away, however when she returned it was clear that they had very simply tried to mix the Parmesan crumbles into the dish to conceal the fact that they were still there. It’s fortunate that I am not allergic to cashews otherwise it would have been a medical issue waiting to happen. I find it fascinating that they would deem that to be an appropriate resolution to the issue. Anyways I did not eat more than two bites of the (overcooked) spaghetti and stuck with the pizza—it was fine, nothing outstanding but equally no issues. Understaffed establishment that overlooks many critical details that are key to providing a warm and hospitable dining experience. As much I love to support plant-based restaurants and have had some PHENOMENAL vegan pastas in my lifetime, I do not recommend this place—there are a plethora of other places to get average pasta in the city, and perhaps even some...
