8/10The 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.

9/10The 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.

9.5/10Ponte 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!

9.5/10I 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.

8/10Cosy 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.

8/10If 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!

10/10
Came here with my mom for our first night in Amsterdam and we had a great time. We ordered a bunch of food to share including a mixed antipasto plate. It was so yummy! They had generous portions, tasty wine, and a waiter who was friendly and a jokester in the most fun way! The only downside was it was a little chilly inside and I probably should have kept my jacket on during our meal which would not have been comfortable. Still, the best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy.

My husband and I are from Canada and travel through Amsterdam for business. About 20 some odd years ago, we stumbled onto Ponte Acari and have been going back ever since. We love it all from the ambiance to the service with a personal touch. The food is always made with thought and it shows through in the taste!! Over the years, we have sent many family members and friends there when they are in town. This is not a restaurant, this is a local gathering place where friends and families come to meet and enjoy, and where visitors come to meet new friends!! My husband and I will be back in May!

10/10This wonderful small Italian restaurant is located on the corner of two canals, and the owners always treat you like a special guest. I came here once in a while in the last 30 years since I was a student and took my father, mother and aunt here. The menu is affordable and always good! Yesterday I took my brother and husband and had a great dinner once again, after which we were treated for a limoncello and fantastic tiramisu! Thank you for all the great memories! ❤️

2/10Awful experience. I have booked a table in advance over the app. First the waitress took > 15 min to consult and decide where I can seat. Then, when the table had been finally assigned, I have not got any service: menu, empty plates etc. - was completely ignored as I have booked for 1 person. In the end: on my request to close the window next to me, I have been refused. Obviously to be obliged to leave. Never again and not recommended!
