We have had lunch here 3 or 4 times over the last two years and the picture was pretty much the same every time: food above average, prices reasonable but service scores low each time. People are not concentrated, a bit careless and after your main course they simply forget you. Today, after having a good meal of bruschetta and pollo (chicken dish) we waited in vain for the waitress to come and collect the plates and ask us if we would want some dessert or coffee. After 20 minutes we started waving and drawing her attention and managed to order coffee. After another 20 minutes we gave up and made our way to the cash register to pay and leave. Just then a waiter came with our coffee ..;-) The owner apologised twice and offered to give us free take away coffee. We declined. Too bad and quite unnecessary. The owner should realise that it takes more than good cooking and serving the dishes elegantly. It takes a lot more to have your guests leave your restaurant in a satisfied way.

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 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.

The menu isn't that simple, choosing from pizzas, fish and or meat in variety. Everything seems yummy!!! I've been here several times and it's like if everytime I order it becomes better and better. Next to the dining/restaurant they've got a nice bar/ cafe and some additional space where you can wait until your table is ready or eat in a different setting. The owner is also a big lover of foreign food and speaks with fire about food and travels. The team is quite young but very good informed about their work and answering about the food.
