Staying at the Hilton nearby, it was a short walk to this place, which was appreciated in the chili and sometimes drizzly weather.

The second night we each had the lasagna, which was also very good, with lots of creamy, melted cheese.

Very busy and filled with locals. The food was just ok, the red sauce had too much sugar added to it so it was overly sweet. The service was good, but the two waiters who were helping to seat people and clean up were very vocal and spoke very loudly in Italian at each other. Often pejoratively. But overall, good experience.

The aesthetic was homey but with a modern twist-I felt like I was in a family members home eating dinner. The service could have been better which was odd because it wasn't really busy. This was my first time trying true Italian pasta outside of the States and now I can't look back. I would for sure recommend this place for a chill and familiar vibe for a drink or a bite to eat.

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.

Great place for a first date, as it's not too snobby or upscale but sets a nice warm vibe! The wine list was short but all was great, and I loved the small accents such as the fresh tulips at the entrance. I chose the gnocchi bolognese (I love being told off by Italians that bolognese should NOT have cream in it and therefore is safe for me to eat with my dairy allergic.) The gnocchi was very dense ― would have preferred pillowy and lighter, but the portion was generous and the sauce delicious.

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.

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!
