    The service was great, and the staff did a great job helping my wife and I out with our 2 kids and our stroller. The food was great and the chef made a great cheese pizza for our kids. Our dinners were fantastic as well. We will be back!

    Love the food and wine- fast service and a good view. Didn’t get the 30% Fork discount for booking though.

    The food is good and the setup is nice. The location is right besides Dam square, so couldn't be more convenient. The price/quality relationship is specially good.

    The food quality was poor and way over priced. Having said that, it was in the central area. The pasta we ordered was bland. Service was good and pretty quick. Ambience was lovely. Chairs were stained and dirty and there was bits of food on the floor. Would not recommend eating there! Been to far better places.

    Ambiance and staff were nice! Food is alright, but tourist-trappy. If you want real good food, go elsewhere. -----------------------------

    We ate here on our last evening in Amsterdam and could not fault the food. The pizza, pasta and tiramisu were all excellent. The service was not quite up to the same standard though. We waited for almost an hour for our food which for pizza and pasta did seem a bit long. Also as our table was positioned near the open kitchen we heard one of the kitchen staff being loudly berated by, I presume, the owner or manager. It didn't excessively spoil our meal, but perhaps it might be a good idea to save staff discipline for a time when customers are not in earshot.

    Food was fresh and delicious. Loved sitting at the front window watching all the activity on the street. Would come back here for dinner when next in Amsterdam.

    Lovely ambience. Limited menu but great location. More a lunch than dinner place. Very good fresh juices and pizza. The prawn starter could have had more prawns and less focaccia.

    I expected that Italian restaurant's menu might has ravioli or rissoto. Menu was dissapointed for me. Waiters were kindly and polite. Dam square view was good.

    I viaiated this restaurant based on the reviews I read on TripAdvisor. When I arrived, the restaurant was virtually empty. Despite this, I went in thinking maybe it was a slow night. The service was slow and the food bad. The only thing good was a great beer I had.

    Pizza was good (needed more sauce). Caesar Salad was good. Best part was the tiramisu (would be even better with some grand marnier drizzled over it ....try it). Excellent Irish Coffee as well.

    The food was really good, but the service was poor. Maybe they were understaffed but the drink service was way too slow, they even forgot to bring us our second round, but put it on the bill.

    Very nice waiters and lovely food. The waiting time for the drinks was a little too long but this was the only negative point.

    Ordered a Black Angus beef burger and get and industrial overpeppered steak. A friend took a pizza which has been undercooked. But the appetizers were very good and the service was great.

    Unfortunately the appetizers we had set our minds to were sold out, so we decided on bread instead. So no idea what the sushi and carpaccio taste like. I ordered the black angus burger and my friend the Tenderloin) which wasn’t tender at all. Might have been a sirloin sold as tenderloin.. the burger was of a good size, but the seasoning of the meat was a bit strong. The service was really good and they were very apologetic about the sold out items.

    Staff were amazing and food was lovely but we went expecting an Italian restaurant and it was more of a relaxed eatery with a cafe/bakery as you walk in. Great evening nonetheless!
