I was able to confirm, when I finally came in, that it is as lush and green on the inside as featured in their appealing social media photos. I tried a couple of cocktails. Service was great; they made sure that I was not waiting too long to place my next order. I found the cocktails imaginative and also good. The other customers were primarily friends who were meeting up for mid-afternoon Saturday drinks. I can see why; the atmosphere is great. I wasn't expecting this bar to be in the neighborhood it was in but it was not hard to find and it was also easy to get around afterward.

They have a snack menu you can choose from at any time and also a regular lunch and dinner menu. We ordered the celery and beet soup (delicious!!), bitterballens, lumpia, and nachos. All were very tasty and the prices were very reasonable. They have a full bar and we decided on getting a couple of the local beers.

Enter through what looks like a deserted parking lot then you are almost there. We loved our visit so much that this year coming back to Amsterdam we book lodging in walking distance. We love Roest.

You may end up walking a lot to get there but it'll be worth it! Dog friendly during the day at least when the beach side is open.

When I asked the server for his preference, he smartly asked if I was dining alone and whether I wanted wine or beer. Since I was solo and opting for beer, he recommended the pizza instead and perfectly paired it with one of their beers. I have absolutely no regrets--this place is fantastic for pizza and beer. The service is quick, the restaurant is clean (including the restrooms!), and the background music is at that perfect volume where you can recognize the song without it drowning out a conversation. It is highly recommended after hours of walking around Amsterdam!

And yes, it does feel like I entered one of the student houses from my time studying. Inside the restaurant/bar, furniture is vintage and most areas invite to just hang out. The crowd is arty, from 20-80 and mostly Dutch. Friendly customer service. I tried a tosti-of-the-week and a coffee. The tosti was yummy. All very affordable. What makes this place special is that it also offers a cultural program with open podium and movie/dinner combos. This is rare in de Pijp, and a well kept secret for even locals. Tips: - The terrace is nice, large. On a sunny day, there are plenty of benches outside to soak up the sun at noon, - The menu card has only very limited choice for dinner. - Check out the website for the programm of what if upcoming. - For 15 Euro you are offered a 3 course meal and a number of short movies (cinema bouffe, at irregular intervals),

I should have looked at the menu before the request, as I was pretty disappointed when I realized that not only was there absolutely no semblance of Italian food (why is the name in Italian?) but everything was catered to a Dutch palette (re: Nachos with piri piri is actually cheesy doritos with hot sauce. for 10 euro. are you kidding me?) The drinks and service was good, but the food and price were not worth it in my opinoin. Dinner is reservation only.

I had king prawns with quinoa in sour coconut foam souse and my husband had bream with tomato risotto. It was both breathtaking! The portions are small (as we like) and this gives you a flexibility to order 1 or 2 more to share and try different dishes. It is a great gastro experience, excellent service and nice atmosphere. If you have a taste to a good food and appreciate culinary creativity - go to Dodici. Not expensive at all , well depends how much you eat and drink, though :) This is definitely not a traditional italian restaurant.

For a big group, make sure you have a reservation, especially if the weather is nice. Some things to note, for a party more than 8 you have to go with the set menu, you have to order before 9pm. Prices are affordable. Wine is inexpensive and the selection is ok. The service was attentive and always with a smile. Some food notes: - the chicken was great! tender and juicy. - the steak - ooh that was not chewable, tasteless and rubbery. - the eggplant - was a bit on the sweeter side, but was good.
