Restaurant La Smorfia — Restaurant in The Hague

From the very first moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and enthusiasm that made it feel like coming home. If home came with incredible Italian food and carefully chosen wines, that is.

The food was absolutely delicious. So much is made in-house, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients, many of which come directly from Italy. Every dish felt like it was made with love and attention. Nothing was ordinary. Everything had its own character, full of rich flavors and beautiful simplicity.

The service was just as impressive. Warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. The staff added so much to the experience.

Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed evening out or a longer dinner filled with good conversation, great food, and excellent wine, this is the place. It’s rare to find a spot that gets both the food and the atmosphere so right.

Already looking forward to...

Amazing Authentic Italian Experience in the Heart of The Hague! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this lovely Italian restaurant in The Hague, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that immediately transported us to Italy. The menu offers a great variety of traditional Italian dishes — we tried the homemade pasta and wood-fired pizza, and both were outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were rich, and you could tell everything was made with love and authenticity. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, giving great wine pairing suggestions and making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Whether you're Italian and missing home, or just a food lover looking for real Italian taste, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be...

Overall, the restaurant had good Italian food. In the beginning, the waiter was very welcoming and offered a small wine tasting to know which wine would be best which was really nice. The food we ordered came in a weird order so that one of us had to eat a pizza alone. Unfortunately, we got an expired Burrata for our dish that tasted noticeably sour and had an atypical consistency. The waiter excused himself and brought us a new one which was worse than the first one. We then notified the waiter again who went to the kitchen to discuss it. He came back and admitted it tasted sour but then said it was normal and because of the high quality of the Burrata. I found this reaction a bit disappointing as the Burrata was obviously expired since no Burrata is supposed to taste so sour. I think it’s better to admit the problem...
