Very Italian Pizza on Blaak is a delightful gem in the heart of Rotterdam, offering an authentic Italian dining experience that exceeds expectations. From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by the friendly and attentive staff, sets the tone for a memorable meal.
The menu boasts a wide variety of pizzas and pastas, catering to diverse tastes. During my visit, I indulged in the Pizza Crudo, topped with fresh Parma ham, arugula, and cherry tomatoes—a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The crust was thin and crispy, reminiscent of traditional Neapolitan style. My companion opted for the Tagliatelle Bolognese, which was rich and hearty, showcasing the kitchen’s commitment to quality ingredients and authentic recipes.
Beyond the food, the service was impeccable. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, enhancing our dining experience. The restaurant’s location near the iconic Cube Houses and Rotterdam Blaak Station makes it easily accessible for both locals and tourists. 
Whether you’re seeking a casual dinner with friends or a cozy spot for a date night, Very Italian Pizza offers a combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. It’s a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine...
