From the moment you step through the unassuming entrance of this traditional family Italian trattoria in Rotterdam, you're not just entering a restaurant; you're arriving home.

I've visited this restaurant on 22th February 2025 with my friend. It's a good restaurant but there are issues.

Positive aspects: -The owner was very friendly and gave us enough time to finish our dessert and espresso while the next guests were waiting for our table. That was the reason why I gave extra tip. -The self-made bread was very good. -The Branzino Al-Sale tasted very good.

Neutral aspects: -The ravioli la limone tasted flat. The was no taste explosion in the mouth at all. 24,70 Euro is a very tough price to swallow. We see the true value at max. 15 Euro. -We were waiting a long time for the pre-course when were asked whether we wanted to have some bread for the meantime. We agreed to that but did not know that we were charged 7,50 Euro for that. With this knowledge we would have declined the offer and would have continued to wait for the pre-course. -The presentation of the Branzino al-Sale was, I'm truly sorry, boring. There must be a better way to present the vegetables. -The tables were standing very close to each other so there is no privacy if somebody is looking for that. -the lo stuzzuchino del Cuoco was a bit flat, especially the melon.

Summary: for the price we paid, this was definitely too expensive and we probably won't come back. We would give an overall four stars if the price would have been at around 120-130 Euro instead of 149,10 Euro. This we say without being a gastronome and we know that it is super tough to be one with the high inflation and overboarding regulation. On the other side we have to work really hard for our money and have to see which value we get for the money spent. If price is not a limitation, I advice people to come here, to make their own experience and to form their...

we had a delightful and great experience at Due Tonino yesterday. We had very friendly staff who were fast, efficient and customer-focused. we rarely had an empty table until we left.

we started with an aperitivo, a prosecco mixed with limoncello, while waiting for our antipasto we got bread with olives, a garlic sauce and a seperate olive sauce to dip the bread in. when we were done we received each two bruschette. my girlfriend had classic bruschette, while I got the ones with parmeggiano cheese and truffle flakes. incredible. i would definetely go to the restaurant again, just for these. After we each got a glass of their red house wine with a large aqua frizzante to share. the wine was good and lasted throughout the rest of our meal. as a main couese we both got spaghetti caccio e pepe. a classic italian dish, served to a high standard. we both enjoyed the dish very much.

after finishing we got a dessert, each a piece of tiramisu, which was delightful. very tasty, good size and perfect temperature.

we had an...
