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.

So next time I was in town, I was sure to make a reservation. They anticipated my arrival and sat me at the bar. They have WiFi that works! The pizza was really good and you could taste its freshness. I had a couple of cocktails but it was really tempting to get beer on tap. The interior is cozy which adds to La Perla's exclusivity and reservation-only culture because there is limited seating inside. My friend recommended La Perla to me. He goes every time he's in Amsterdam. I can see why. Service was also great and quite friendly.

People got their food sooner than us and were talked to by their server. We were not. When I asked for the check and paid, it prompted me to tip.

Squisito! Like being in Italy. Three 3 of us shared a carafe of house red wine, 2 pasta dishes, a salad and tiramisu. With an appropriate gratuity for the great service the bill was about 20 Euros each. Can't beat that for a fabulous meal in a clean fun restaurant with terrific employees. Well done, friends.
