They have closer restaurants to the village entrance, but reading all the great reviews about La Piccola Venezia, we walked the extra 15 minutes, and we didn't regret it.

The service and environment were friendly, and the food delivered. We enjoyed a Burrata tomato salad made with arugula, focaccia, penne pasta arriabata, and a rib eye steak. We also purchased a bottle of Italian wine, a barolo that was very nice. I will tell you that if we had drank more going to the bathroom, would've been a harrowing experience as the bathroom is located upstairs up a very narrow, steep stairwell. So, this Italian restaurant is very worthy of being considered while you're in downtown Amsterdam.

I swear that, in all the years we have been coming here to eat with the family, the owner/grandfather greeted us in Italian -- partially because my in-laws used to live in Italy and speak fluent Italian. My husband still gets the "Italian" treatment... lucky him. My personal favorite are their pizzas (yes, of course, a real wood oven) and my children swear by the lasagna. Through the years I have crafted my own version of a "great" pizza, by ordering a plain pizza and adding gorgonzola and aetichokes. I cannot explain the flavor combination, but the tartness of the artichokes and creaminess of the gorgonzola compliment and expound upon each other. They have Pellegrino, Grodino, and a full bar with (home-made) limoncello: nomnom. If you're stuck in Ede and considering my Bernardo's icecreamery, go here first for dinner!

I love this little pizza place. Three years ago Renato moved back from Amsterdam to his home town…read moreEnkhuizen after ten years making the best pizza's in the capital of Holland. He sold his old pizza place to new owners and taught them all this tricks but they never convinced me to come back to this place. The pizza's are always excellent and the crust is nicely thin and crispy due to the fact that the dough has risen twice. This is Renato's secret to a great crust. The quality of the toppings and ingredients are very high and always from local organic produce (tomatoes, basil and cheese) or taken straight back from Italy. Renato goes back to his home country at least twice a year to bring the best ingredients home. He even makes his own spicy olive oil! Ask Renato if you can buy a bottle to take back home. My Vale 47 named after Valantino Rossi, was superb. Nice touch adding the homemade buffalo mozzarella after cooking to cool down the spicy meats. The Gorizza topped with grilled peppers, salame picante and blue cheese has always been my favorite. This is real Italian pizza made in the traditional way, they offer Italian genuine appetizers and special dishes if you ask for them. Nice desserts to round it all off. The homemade tiramisu is excellent! The cosy restaurant is stylishly decorated, the staff are always very friendly. I never eat pizza in Amsterdam anymore and always keep coming back to this family run business. Make sure to reserve a table if you want to enjoy Renato's pizza's. Note: they don't take credit cards.

This Italian place is in the very center of the water village. On one of the isolated islands. With plenty seats both inside and outside in the yard. Fabio served us is also the owner, well son of the owner. We were treated very pleasantly. He lend us a charger for our phone battery emergency. They have pizza, pasta, and many other dishes of large portion. The price is around 8 to 12 for pasta and pizza. We had two coffees, shared one pizza of spicy salami and one truffle ice cream dessert. It was wonderful. We end up really satisfied with only 19 euro bill. To top up, Fabio was so friendly and passionate about his business. He chat with every costumer like they are friends. This is a family business he run with his uncle and dad. And they are from Sicily. Definitely visit again if we ever comes back to Giethoorn!

In this case go ahead order a bottle of good sparkling water instead. If you are hungry order the pizza. If you order other dishes it will be a longer wait. The service here is just under staffed. Do have all of your food come together. Don't recommend the house wine. Order other wine that is made by other winery. The beef dish is great. The dairy is Northland's main business. So order steak is for sure is a good choice. The Tiramisu is just so so. Taste like the regular cake. So don't expect too much. The salad seems all under dressing in all the restaurant in this country. Over all we like it.
