6.5/10Took 20 minutes to get seated, then further 30 minutes before we were even given a menu. People were waiting in the rain despite reservations. Severely understaffed

10/10A neighborhood gem restaurant just down the street from the Hotel Jakarta. Food, service and ambiance are excellent. A fine dining experience overlooking the Het IJ river and escaping the hustle & bustle of Amsterdam Central train station and city center.

10/10A lovely Italian restaurant - great atmosphere - food was delicious - loved the theatre of having a flaming cheese wheel at the table and making the pasta in the cheese wheel - it was so tasty - and the staff were friendly - would recommend.

8/10From the moment you enter you can feel that everything in this restaurant is as it should be. Tasteful interior, open kitchen, friendly Italian staff, the vibe of a place that is run well, and has returning customers, even if it is situated in the middle of nowhere (though close to the wonderful Hotel Djakarta). But that has the advantage that parking is easy. Of course we tried the tagliatelle seasoned by mixing it with Parmesan in a huge, hollowed out round cheese. Excellent dish, as were the classical desserts. I would even dare to take Italian friends here... And to top it all, prices are moderate by Amsterdam standards.

4/10Menu on the fork and also trip advisor bore no relation to the actual one with no dishes suitable now for my son. They have stopped doing pizzas and menu is small and lacks variety. We asked about pizzas and they said they had just stopped doing them and website menu has just changed so need to look at that now.Food tasted ok but was nowhere near hot enough and very expensive at 20euro for some pasta with tomato and cheese. I detailed my complaints to the management but they didn’t seem particularly interested. Overall a disappointing experience.

7.5/10Nice restaurant. Starters delicious. Main couse mwahhh... . Too crowded, the acoustics intolerable. Unbelievable that people think it is appropriate to bring toddlers into any restaurant.

6.5/10We ate at another branch of Pepe Nero and it was the best of our stay in Amsterdam, but since it was closed for a holiday, we went to this branch for our last dinner out. Unfortunately it was not as wonderful. particularly by comparison. So I highly recommend Pepe Nero on Oosterparkstraat- charming italian waitresses, outstanding food.

10/10This was a perfect little Italian that offered varied menu options, a lovely setup and ambience. The staff were very friendly and explained a few dishes to us. I opted for a special which was not something I would usually go for, and it was the best meal of my trip to Amsterdam. My partner had a pasta dish finished on a cheese wheel which was also insanely good! Would 100% recommend!

7/10Good food, good pizza, nice environment. Service was so-so: not actually terribile, but the waiters seemed ill-tempered and distracted - maybe they were upset because they could not watch the World cup final?

9/10Excellent experience. Nice outdoor terrace. The second terrace on the water (the IJ) was not open due to staff shortages. Delicious pizzas. The amount of pasta was a little too little and not very warm, but this was no problem on this hot summer day in Amsterdam. The desserts were delicious! In short; an excellent address on the KNSM island.

10/10We loved this hidden gem. The pasta was superb and the service very friendly. We also loved the tiramisu for desert. The owner stopped by our table personally to see how everything was and took great pride in the high quality food they serve. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it. Make sure to make reservations as the restaurant was very busy and is clearly a neighborhood favorite.

10/10This place was excellent in every way. Food was phenomenal, as was the service. White table cloths, & nicely set tables. Food & drink came out with great timing. We felt very comfortable. Would definitely return if we are ever in Amsterdam again.

10/10This traditional small Italian was a great find. Amazing atmosphere and delicious food, with polite & attentive but not rushed service. Would highly recommend for solo travellers, couples and families alike.

Best real Italian restaurant in amsterdam in my honest opinion. Pizzas are made based on the classic Italian kitchen and not some kind of Western European- American hybrid. The people who work here are passionate about the they serve. Quality ingredients with quality hospitality
