One of the top-5 meals I've eaten in Europe. Wow....not only one dish, but a few dishes were outstanding and left me wanting more. Beautiful decor, a bit warm but it was warm outside. The seats aren't the most comfortable for me since they seem shorter, but my friend was fine. This place has been here a long time, I never thought about going since it's in the middle of a very touristy area. Get a reservation, restaurant is not JAMMED with tables so it's a nice, civilized meal. Great wine list too! Don't forget the prosecco to start things off! I loved it. I can't wait to go back.

Asparagus Risotto

A lovely 5 course dinner and a nice surprise how good the food here is. I got the vegetarian 5 course meal. The risotto was divine. The Ravioli is the best I had. I just walked in based on highest rated restaurant for a long overnight layover in Amsterdam. I'll be back for sure!

Passion fruit bellini

We came by and had the five course tasting menu (you can pick the main and it was delicious! Definitely make a reservation. I opted for a passion fruit bellini to pair with my meal and this drink was super tasty, would recommend. The tasting course started with a salad which was beautifully plated, tasty had some greens and some crunch and some sour. The second course was roasted guinea fowl which tasted like chicken but wasn't too dry, I thought it was quite tasty despite not having fowl before. Next was the ravioli which was my personal favorite. Perfect for those who love pasta and some meat. The beef sirloin was good as well, though by American standards it was fairly dry -- not sure if the cut was just leaner than what I'm used to, but it tasted great but not the best beef I've had. Dessert was panna cotta, which was another winner :D Service was quick and efficient, but nobody came to rush us. The staff member introduced each dish in the tasting menu when it was served. Deceptively large interior (restroom in the basement) and a second floor.

I was told that this place serves Italian food. A lot of the words on the menu sounded fancy and ended in vowels, but very little of the food was actual Italian. In fact, they didn't even have a single menu item with marinara sauce. However, I'm a very picky eater and was able to locate a few items on the menu that I did like...and the food was excellent. I would label this is more of a "fine dining" restaurant. The service, the wine, and the atmosphere was excellent. But when I return home to the United States, I'm heading straight to Olive Garden (for unlimited breadsticks and salad).

Some great flavor in these appetizers

Simply a superb meal, from beginning to end! First day in Amsterdam after a long day of travel, and we wanted a good meal, but at a time our parents normally eat . . . We were able to walk in at 6:00 pm w/out a reservation, and were politely informed that we could have the table until 8:15. No problem here! Modern yet warm setting; excellent wine list. I had the soup of Jerusalem artichoke and mushrooms . . . presentation and flavor were just off the charts. For the main course, I had potato gnocchi w/ lobster. I swear I wanted to lick the plate, it was that good. For dessert we shared a chocolate tort w/ peanut/caramel ice cream. This dessert had a lot going on w/ various layers -- like 5 desserts in 1--Yummy! Great service all around, and a special thanks to Tiffany for her warmth and friendly nature--they know how to treat their customers!! Cheers! RS

nice risotto

This was the first dining adventure in a largely cultural / eating 3 capital 10 day trip . I found Bussia recommended on here , and it was near the house we had rented . Excellent choice by YELP reviewers! The place is decorated in the standard mono-chromatic calming nordic style. We had a four course tasting menu with wine pairing. The bread here and everywhere in Holland is superb. The people are delightful and the city is clean , and quite, unlike other places visited. My partner is a vegetarian and thought his dinner was excellent.,There are enough descriptive comments on here to do this place justice. We were seated in the table in front of the window which gave us a wonderful view of the passing visitors . I have enclosed a few pics. If you are near here do go, AND MAKE RESERVATIONS, IT IS A SMALL PLACE!

Chocolate dessert which I could not get enough of.

We had a preset 6 couse meal that began with 2 different aperitivos followed by risotto, veal ravioli, BBQ quail, cod and dessert. The flavor and presentation of the food was amazing. We were seated in a semi private room upstairs and there was very little background noise. I could actually hear conversations at either end of the table that sat 15.

Mid October, Italian restaurant Bussia opened doors in de negen straatjes (or nine little streets) of Amsterdam. There aren't many good Italian restaurants in Amsterdam. A few good pizzerias but no restaurants that take Italian food up one notch. So I was happy to try out Bussia and was certainly not disappointed. The interior is country style, but expensive and perfectly designed - a lot of wood, thick but plain white table cloths and large cutlery and wine glasses. The service is very friendly and welcoming in a personal way. The menu - as the name suggests - is very Piedmont style and uses many typical northern Italian ingredients such as truffles, porcini, plums, nuts and fontina cheese. The wine list is impressive and equally Piedmont oriented with a large selection of strong red Barolos and Barberas as well as many wines made from the Nebbiolo and Dolcetto grapes that are popular in the region.

See all

Jordaan, Centrum

Another very nice Italian place in the little Italy street from Amsterdam…read more Don't expect pizza's here though this is a real kitchen! This very small Italian is always packed. In the open kitchen you can see (and hear!) the chef work his magic. The bread, the starters, the fresh home made pasta's and the secondi's are all amazing. They import a lot from Italy themselves, and you can even but a bottle of olive oil here. The place is full of ferrari signs, foto's of Sophia Loren, etc. It feels like a second home. Great for a nice romantich night out or a double date, maybe not so good if you go with more then 4 people, as the place is very small. Expect to spend about 115 euro for 2 persons incl a bottle of wine. Make sure you reserve a table!

Hostaria is an Italian restaurant situated in the Jordan area, the little Italy of Amsterdam. After…read morereading the reviews, we thought we'd give this one a try. On the outside it doesn't look all too fancy. Inside, the tables are closely arranged; making getting up from your table quite a challenge at times. However the waitress was friendly, and the atmosphere cosy. I had the truffle tagliatelle, which tasted excellent, but sadly wasn't cooked properly; it stuck together. Same goes for the pasta with sausage we had. Maybe the secondi taste better, but I'm not prone to go check them out after this experience. All in all, good service, but for the pricing they might pay a little more attention to the food.
