10/10I’ve been to 54 countries as of yet and this is probably the one of the best Italian food i’ve ever had. Both antipasti and main course was great. We forgot to take a picture of our table because of how good the food were :) Service was equally good. Both the owner and the staff was friendly and contributed to a wonderful evening.

10/10A wonderful dinner experience. It seems to be getting harder to find restaurants that amaze you, but this is one. Fantastic food, great setting and atmosphere (in a really nice neighborhood with decent parking options), and fun, friendly service. The wines were also excellent!

10/10Had a great evening taking and entertaining customers at this delightful restaurant. They accommodate my large group at short notice and the food was great! There's also a nice ambiance to the place. Would definitely come back when I'm next in Amsterdam!

10/10The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and very inviting. Marco and the staff were highly professional and so friendly. There was no rushing or pressure and the timing of when the food arrived was perfect. All the staff really took care of us and were hugely flexible and accommodating to everything we asked. Now the best part was the food, it was excellent and authentic Italian flavours and style. I can know because I go to Italy a lot. Totally worth it, an Italian gem in Amsterdam. I can only say good things about this restaurant, I would absolutely go back whenever I am Amsterdam. Can highly recommend it!!!!

10/10We go to this restaurant when we want to impress our guests visiting us from other countries. We always order spaghetti prepared in the parmesan wheel live next to our table! And the must try dessert is the deconstructed tiramisu. Great food, great service, we'll come back

10/10Really good food and wine, the staff is passionate, and the atmosphère is lovely. Spécial mention of course to the flambée pasta in the massive cheese, which is a show on it's own :)

10/10This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. The service is warm and attentive. The atmosphere is gezellig and a touch fancy. There are tablecloths and cloth napkins, but good sized portions and no pretentions. The food is high quality and there is a lot of choice for a smallish restaurant. Reserve ahead because tables are hard to get!

10/10We have been in the restaurant during our holidays in Amsterdam, found the place well recommended from few people. The ambience is very nice, cosy and makes me feel in Italy. Then the food: great and fresh products, the Burratina was just amazing and milky; And the Pastas “TOP”, well cooked and very tasty. The service was very attentive and cool! I highly recommend it! Thanks a lot Guys

10/10After living in Amsterdam for less than a year, I have finally found THE best Italian restaurant in town! Really cozy atmosphere with dimmed lights, in a beautiful area. Amazing service, staff is really good, multilingual and friendly, they cook some of the dishes in front of you (including spaghetti flambe in a large wheel of parmesan with Brandy Vecchia Romagna), the selection of wine is absolutely fine with wines ranging 20 to 60 Eur. Definitely a place I will visit many times from now! I recommend without any doubt!

10/10PepeNero is the ultimate Italian restaurant in the Netherlands. Great ambiance and a classic menu. If you’re a millennial hipster looking for novelty this restaurant might not be perfect for you, but everybody that truly loves Italian cuisine owes it to themselves to pay them a visit.

9/10The food was excellent. Between 4 of us we had a mix of most of the antipasti for starters and they were very good quality - the ingredients were superb, so he overall effect was great. For mains we covered pesce, carne and pasta and all were superb, often with a slight twist in what was expected (the pesto, for example, was less punchy than usual, more subtle and more enjoyable for that). The service was a bit slow - it took about 40 minutes from ordering to receiving the first course - but that did not detract from the meal. A lovely meal, great quality and well cooked. I hope to come back some day.

10/10As always amazing food, very good service and beautiful pairing wine. We’ve had the mixed anti pasti which was great, then the owner came to me to tell me he had lamb rack fresh delivers apart from the menu and that was amazing. Pasta vongole was amazing as well as my Italian friend told me. Thumbs up!

10/10Really delicious food. Best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. We went to Italy in the summer and the food in Risto Enoteca PepeNero is even better. The staff is really friendly, we only come twice a year (because we have to save money as students to go out for dinner) and they still remember us. They even gave us advice to reheat the food (I can never finish my plate but still order too much because everything is good). I would recommend the Antipasto misto alla PepeNero (per 2 personen) as appetizer because you can taste all the appetizers at once and then you will know how good they are. Plus the flambé spaghetti is amazing to eat and watch. All the desserts are good, but the Sgroppino is the best we ever had. So if you like Sgroppino then order here.
