We just spend days in Paris,…read moreour bar is sky high and we are so pleased with the amazing food, the attentive service and the beautiful decor of the restaurant. The new sky light that is in the majority of the restaurant makes it very inviting and bright. Loved by locals and tourists, Caffè Toscanini is renowned for its consistent, high quality, seasonal Italian cuisine. We listened to our server who let us know the daily specials that you won't want to miss. He said the pasta special (which is a fish pasta) is amazing and yes he is 100% correct! Also we try the rabbit and the house made cold cuts, both amazing. The restaurant is fully booked 6 weeks in advance for the later night seating (assuming you like to eat late at 8:30pm) so the tip is to join their waitlist ahead of time!

This was the 2nd restaurant experience on our European vacation of 2026 celebrating milestone birthdays, anniversaries and other such big deals with another couple/long-time friends from California. It was so good we went back for our 4th and final dinner. - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 (but of course that depends where you are) - Atmosphere: 5 - Menu: 5 - Food Quality: 5 - Food Quantity: 4 - Service: 5 - Staffing of Servers: 3 - Price and Value: 5 Pros: - Location: Convenient to our location (the Ambassade Hotel). But as ads often remind us..."your results may vary" depending on where you're living and/or staying. - Atmosphere: Bright and bustling. Reminded us of a neighborhood Italian restaurant in big US cities. - Menu: Something for everyone. It would be at home in Italy, New York or California. - Food Quality: Great food. Everything we tried we liked. Flavors an Italian mom would be proud of. - Food Quantity: Fine. - Service: Professional yet down to earth, but they seemed to be understaffed for the continued stream of customers. On our 2nd visit, we waited 25 minutes for someone to take our order...then 40 minutes for the food. It was good, but still..... - Price and Value: Reasonable. A bit lower than in the US. Cons: None! Like many restaurants we've found in Italy, customers seem to start their meals by ordering small plates and just kept asking for more. Aside from needing more servers, Casa Di David is great.

Here's a clean, natural review you can use:…read more Had a great meal at Casa Di David. The food was delicious from start to finish. I went with the truffle ravioli, flavorful, and perfectly done.

Service is interesting - only one waiter who takes the order and brings the food and drinks, one busboy, one person you pay at the cash register. One chef you see through the window.

Found Trattoria Totò, a small Italian restaurant while walking to our favorite coffee shop in…read moreAmsterdam, and we decided that we should make a reservation for that night right after dropping our bags off at our nearby hotel. Boy, we got lucky that we did. My parents and I have been in Europe for almost two weeks now and I kept thinking that I was in Italy the entire time while at this restaurant, as we did so much traveling. It was within walking distance of the hotel we were staying at, which was a plus. The restaurant is so small that it only has about eight tables and one waiter doing all the work, plus two chefs working in the kitchen. During our time there, lots of people that did not have a reservation were being turned away. We were seated at a table that had a decent view of the kitchen, though trying to get into my seat was a little tight. We started off with a glass of Pinot Grigio white wine, which is basically what we've been drinking at like every restaurant during our trip. This time, rather than sharing a bottle that was at our table, we just had the wine from the glass. After trying out so many different kinds of white wines over the past two weeks, I think I've grown to enjoy them so far. The food here was outstanding and delicious. I had the Pasta Bolognese, my dad had the ham and mushroom pizza, and my mom had the ravioli. The pasta just exploded with flavor in my mouth, including the Bolognese itself. My dad commented that this was one of the best pizzas he's ever had so far, and my mom commented that her ravioli was super flavorful, including the sauce that came with it. This is your taste of Italy right here in Amsterdam. Would highly recommend to other people!

The food didn't blow us out of the water, considering the price point but it we did enjoy it. I didn't get a picture of the scallops we started with - which was easily the best thing we had. Be mindful the dish is served with 3 scallops. My partner and I both had the rigatoni carbonara with pork guanciale as our mains. Very good but not the best I've had. We also enjoyed the moscow mule and caipirwine cocktails. There is a bathroom available to customers.

He mentioned that this place is popular with celebrities and on the brick wall are the autographs of some of the celebrities that went there which I thought was really cool. We ordered: Focaccia (Fresh baked focaccia bread served with EVO oil from Puglia and semi dried tomato cream): focaccia was sliced and toasted and the semi dried tomato cream so yummy to slater on the bread. Burrata Pugliese (Burrata Pugliese cheese, tomatoes, homemade Pesto Genovese - EVO oil from Puglia): Burrata, was always, super creamy and totally delicious.

I stole a bite and the spicy sausage was so good! I wasn't too hungry and ordered the minestrone soup which was so comforting on a cold day. It arrived piping hot and was full of vegetables. I felt so much better after having this. Service was attentive and friendly. I would love to come back the next time and try the pastas.

A True Gem in Amsterdam: Outstanding Food and Service at Guasto…read more Guasto Italian Restaurant in Amsterdam completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like we were their top priority. The level of service was exceptional--warm, attentive, and professional. They genuinely made us feel like VIPs, offering personalized recommendations and ensuring we were comfortable throughout our meal. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh, authentic flavors. The pastas were perfectly cooked, and the pizzas were crispy, delicious, and topped with the finest ingredients. We couldn't get enough! Each meal was better than the last, and the variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone. The management team was also incredibly hands-on, ensuring that each guest had an unforgettable experience. Their hospitality and attention to detail truly set Guasto apart from other restaurants. After such an amazing first experience, we ended up dining at Guasto four times during our trip to Amsterdam. It's clear this restaurant is committed to excellence in both food and service. If you're in the city, don't miss out on this incredible dining experience! Staff was so nice they even made a special request and made a baked potato for my salad and steak Thank you to the amazing staff

We wanted to go upscale a little bit and found a cluster of Italian restaurants. We looked online…read morefor reviews and Restaurant Gusto looked good, so we went in. We were seated and noticed a large block of hollowed-out parmesan cheese on a butcher-block table. After reviewing the menu, we asked about the cheese. It was for a spaghetti dish that "we wouldn't soon forget." "If we won't forget it, we have to have it," even though spaghetti is not the most adventurous thing to order in an Italian restaurant. The spaghetti is cooked and mixed with tomato sauce, then what I am guessing is hot oil is ignited and dumped into the hollowed out cheese. Then the spaghetti is added and mixed with the melted cheese, removed and served with additional shreds of hard parmesan. The result is nothing short of fantastic and I believe it when I was told Americans return every couple of years or so just to eat this dish. We also had a mozzarella and tomato salad (as if we needed additional cheese) and complimentary green and black olives. Most restaurants here serve Heineken on tap, but this place appears to only have Peroni, which was perfect. We'll be back.
