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!

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!

This 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! ❤️

Awful 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!
