We were definitely in a neighborhood spot for locals but they didn't seem to mind that we were tourists from America. The menu was printed in English but it had familiar items from tapas restaurants in the US. The tapas prices were reasonable for the quality of food but I wish there was a bit more on each plate as we ended up ordering doubles of some plates because we just needed a few more bites. I felt like we ordered most of the menu because either everything looked delicious or it tasted delicious. Inside the restaurant, it is very cozy and quaint and somewhat dark but many Dutch restaurants have the same ambiance. We enjoyed our meal and I would definitely return here again to enjoy some other wonderful menu items.

The tomato salad was seasoned well, and we enjoyed the burrata and avocado, though the burrata was a bit chewier I would have liked. The highlight was the octopus, it was the most tender I have ever tasted! We also got the fried sole which was seasoned and cooked just right. It was a good full portion of the fish. Prices feel a bit steep for the portions of the other dishes at €7-9 per plate.

It was a quaint little restaurant and we sat outside even though it was chilly. The servers were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was Spanish tapas and it was some of the best food I've ever had. Chicago's tapas restaurants cannot hold a candle to this. Everything was good. I really loved the anchoa which was an anchovy toast and the berenjas which was like a crispy eggplant with mushrooms.

The food served were definitely the traditional Spanish tapas. We had the pata negra jamon Iberico which were okay but was really hoping to get the acorn-fed black pig ham but they did not have it. Other dishes we tried were the pulpo (octopus), boquerones (sardines) served in olive oil and garlic, ham and codfish croquettes, bread with aioli. Total was about 46 EU. I really enjoyed the sardines and the croquettes but the other dishes were just okay. The place was very lively with scribbles of writings on the wall left by the patrons.

I stumbled upon this place on accident trying to get out of the cold in Amsterdam and I'm glad that I did! 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.

When he brought us the bottled iced teas, he also brought us two glasses of water... So I guess you only get water if you order another drink? Tips for ordering: The "rib eye pork" pieces were super rare. Eat at your own risk. Don't order paella unless you have 2 hours to eat dinner. The paella took 1 hour and 30 minutes to come out!! When we ordered, the female server said the paella takes 20 minutes.

He walks back in and asks why, if the restaurant is open till 11:30 that he can't be seated at 9:20 and he is told that they are "still trying to catch up" What exactly am I, the brown guy in question, supposed to think? You want me to be believe that you won't seat anyone for 2 hours and 10 minutes but keep the place open? Or the much more obvious explanation...

The tapas on the menu are typical Spanish, finding the ones that you would see in any average Spanish bar. Tia Rosa just made and presented them in a way that was not average. Both the presentation, with side salads, herbs and sauces made the tapas really nice and tasty. Besides that the service and the location are of the best you can get. Being situated on one of the nicest canals in Amsterdam centre, with the bridges lighted and barely any cars passing by, makes your diner even more special. The waiters very kind and accommodating. Overall a good experience and a good place to eat tapas. Note: even a Spaniard agrees with this!
