    We had such a lovely evening at restaurant Verena! The food is incredibly delicious! The porcini mushroom pasta is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had and that includes our two times in Italy! The owners are lovely people and make you feel at home from the moment you enter their restaurant. I felt as if I was a part of their family! We highly recommend this restaurant!

    The service was impeccable period. The owners, Signore B. and the Madame were so welcoming. We like great Italian wine. Signore B offered one not listed on menu perfect. Spouse and I split a Italian mixed salad and lasagna. Salad fresh and bountiful. Lasagna was one of the best at a restaurant I have ever had . Finished with homemade tiramisu. all members of clean plate club.

    The Resturant were very accommodating as we change the booking twice to accommodate friends whose plane was delayed coming into Schipol. We ended up eating much later than planned but it all worked out fine which considering it was a Sunday evening was much appreciated.

    The food was excellent but the reservation terrible When we arrived there was no place for us because there was an over reservation. So we got a place almost in the toilet.

    We always visit when in Amsterdam. It's as if we were visiting an Italian family, where you are treated to lovingly prepared Italian food. The menu is not long, but the dishes are always freshly prepared by the owners themselves. A great place in the city center for a cozy evening with friends.

    A bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit, the building was covered in scaffolding when we went 1 st week in August so that was off putting, but the Stacy& food more than made up for that

    This was a great family run restaurant. It was a little out from the centre but only about 15 mins walk from the Station. Food was very nice, with a very friendly welcome from the owner. The only small negative was that we were tucked away in the corner, so it was difficult to get attention, so in the end we didn't end up ordering more drinks or dessert. This is definitely worth a visit if you like Italian but book beforehand as it gets busy.

    A lovely family run neighbourhood Italian. Excellent pizza and pasta . We only wish we'd had room to try the tiramisu made by the owner's wife! Great service and a friendly relaxed vibe.

    It is small restaurant with cosy atmosphere which could be nice if the service and owner were more polite. We had to wait outside at the cold with 3 kids for our table. When they settled us missing plates, glasses and forks were on it very handy served while when some other people came they struggled us to smaller table (as we had already seated) to fit them too. The owner was really rude, had to wait a lot to order even for water and as for the food really spicy pepper was in everything. Even in salad!! That was original. You couldn’t eat it, it was really spicy and then the several kinds of pasta for kids. Not to mention that he practically forced us to order the kind of pasta he want it because he couldn’t cook two different types!!!Black pepper in everything without asking first. We had to reorder and we be been charged for the substitution of the spicy plates. Pizza was ok though. Apart from the lady there which was nice the owner was like he did not want us there. Also to mention that we booked this several days before!! I wouldn’t recommend it.

    Lovely quaint little place, service was excellent and attentive, this restaurant deserves much more customers than it has, we were the only ones with a reservation when we arrived, our food was amazing, brilliant quality and not too expensive, would recommend to anyone wanting good Italian food at a fair price, will absolutely be coming again next time we visit Amsterdam

    We visited this lovely Italian restaurant while on holiday in Amsterdam. The food and wine were great, service was excellent and we had a very enjoyable meal for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

    Our only complaint is that after eating, when presented with the bill in an American Express folder, we were told we had to pay in cash. The food was great.

    Nice, casual restaurant with terrific Italian food. They have an extensive menu but we chose the pizza and house wine. Both were terrific. Be sure to try the homemade hot sauce, zippy heat with a hint of sweet. Yum. We enjoyed the staff’s fast, friendly hospitality on a wet Christmas Eve night after a long flight. We would eat here again.

    Small restaurant, nice welcome and warm room temperature very nice on a bitterly cold night. Service good and a good menu choice. The pizzas we had were as good as any I have had anywhere. Good house red in a prpoer earthenware jug. Great meal at a really affordable prices. Would recommend to anyone wanting good quality Italian food at sensible cost

    Great friendly little Italian restaurant mainly pizza & pasta dishes with some meat / fish mains as well. Quality food we particularly enjoyed the bruschetta & garlic bread.

    Small neighborhood restaurant. Reserved a table for 2 for dinner. When we arrived it wasn't very crowded but filled up quickly. As the crowd grew service suffered a bit. Overall they were accommodating in preparing a half and half pizza. Overall a pleasant experience with good, reasonably priced food.

    This little restaurant was a great find. The lasagna and canelloni are homemade, as is the tiramisu, which is the best we've ever had. Pizza is delicious! One of the best crusts we've had and the ingredients are fresh.

    We were surprised at how small the place was. But we had a reservation and were seated immediately. The service was excellent and the food was very good. It is not just a pizza place. The waiter made valuable suggestion regarding my pasta choice. We would have like a wider choice of wine by the glass.

    This was such a little gem in the middle of a big bustling city. The intimate atmosphere and friendly waitstaff complimented the delicious food perfectly. Accommodating my preference of no cheese on the pizza was not at all problematic but instead met with a smile. Great menu choices!

    A great find! Just outside of central Amsterdam. A quiet resturant. Caterednto our every need. Just enough people to feel busy but also private. Food was delicious and couldn’t recommend enough. Our host was brilliant. As there was not enough seats outside he simply moved a table outside. It was really lovely and I would definitely go there again:)
