The owner was amazing, waiting on us, treating us like friends. It's not sure business to him, it's a way to give people a great experience, food and all

Excellent food. Nice atmosphere in small busy restaurant. Service a bit slow and chaotic but we were not in a rush so it was all part of the fun and the wine was very nice whilst waiting! Only 2 serving on but both good humoured and so it was a very pleasant evening indeed on Thursday 3rd July.

The food was outstanding and we loved the ambience. Cute very small place. Great location. Staff was friendly but unfortunately it seemed like there was a shortage of staff and our service was average. Still worth a visit.

The owner is always very happy and makes jokes with customers. The food quality and preparation is at upmost level. Wine is Ok but could offer a few better bottles. Small place but very ITALIAN....If you understand what I mean.

Ponte Arcari was so great, we came back the next night! Sammy is very hospitable and entertaining! Loved the pasta, bread, wine choices and other food we had. We highly recommend Ponte Arcari as an authentic Italian experience in Amsterdam!

I got there actually before/as it was opening and so the lovely waiter/front of house man put me in The Most Excellent Seat for watching live go by. It's a lovely wee place with about 22 covers indoors and a few tables outside and canalside. The food was OUTSTANDING! The best Italian food I have had outside Italy as well as the best I have had in a long, long time. The only drawback -- and it's small in the grand scheme of things -- is said waiter is just this side of uttery chaotic, Except for good, nothing came at first, second and sometimes more asking. Like water and wine. However, small beer for such an amazing meal, in such a convivial place and an utterly gorgeous day. I will certainly go back.

Cosy small restaurant with lovely atmosphere . Food was good for Amsterdam . My chosen dish ( the daily special- ravioli) was seen coming out of a packet . Not the best pasta I have tasted but overall the meal was good. Were not made to feel overly welcome to start , but this improved.

If you are not too stiff, this is the place to go. Great food and a bit of 'creative' service makes the evening a lovely experience!
