Il Pacioccone is a cozy spot in what looks like a historic building. We started with the bruschetta and meatballs. The bruschetta was simple but really fresh--the buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes had a lot of flavor. The meatballs came in a light tomato sauce and were tender, not overly dense. For mains, we had the tagliatelle ragu and the pappardelle with mushrooms. The pasta seems to be homemade--it's got that bite and texture. The duck ragu was rich and comforting, with just enough sauce to coat the noodles but not drown them. The pappardelle was a highlight--big, silky noodles tossed with mushrooms that actually tasted like mushrooms, not just something from a can. The flavors were earthy and balanced, and you could tell everything was cooked to order. Service was relaxed and friendly, which fit the mood of the place. However, it was slow given there was only two people working. It's the kind of restaurant where you can take your time and actually talk to whoever you're with. read more

Terrible service had open tables and didn't seat us. Don't waste your time. Place looks nice but the hospitality is what you would expect from someone who doesn't care about service. read more

Excellent! I chose II Pacioccone as I was wanting Italian food and great reviews. I am SO glad I dinned here! I ordered the Tegliterri with Tonato and Fresh Burrata as well as the Lamb Chops.. and Lemon Spongecake for dessert. It was very good and flavorful. The staff have been professional and personable and the environment charming. I highly recommend II Pacioccone! Kevin, who is a server was very helpful and attentive. read more

Fantastic Italian food and great service near the Kimpton DeWitt hotel. We had meatballs, gnocchi, and rigatoni and everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. I saved the name to make sure we can find it again on a future trip! read more

Cute cozy romantic great service, and then the food shows up and I cannot come up with superlatives to explain the flavors. So.. you must come here and try it yourself. read more

Trusted the Yelp reviews to try this place out. We walked in and were able to find a table for four people around 1830. Wine list was decent, and the food was fresh, delicious, and authentic. Lively atmosphere but quiet enough for conversation. Highly recommend. read more

Completely a gem of an Italian restuarant. Run by a couple. Wife is the chef and spouse is the wait staff. The menu has a spunky statement that this is not a fake italian restaurant. It's truly an unexpected find and I felt like we were back in italy. My friend and I shared our three courses: antipasti, primi, secondi and dolce which were: a burrata crostini topped with lemon zest and anchovies, pasta and porchetta. the portion sizes were perfections. the flavors were simple yet explosive. we finished with a dessert of panna cotta and espresso. I chose the house chianti with our meal. my friend chose a merlot which did not taste fresh. I asked that we get a second class of the chianti for my friend. when we asked for a second round, the owner recommended doing the bottle which I appreciated. The restaurant is clearly popular among locals and tourists who are willing to venture to this quiet street. I hope to be back whenever I am back in Amsterdam. read more

The vibe is so cozy, you will feel right at home in this warmly lit space. The chef offered to construct a special dish to accommodate my allergy. Our server was lovely and food came out fast. So good! And the wine! I'd be surprised if this isn't the best Italian in amsterdam. read more

This place is very good. Small with limited tables so you may have to wait to be seated but we'll worth the wait. There is only one person on the wait staff so if you are in a hurry go to McDonalds. Here you wait for your meal prepared for you. It's Italian so having a meal is not a rush. Have a glass of wine and enjoy the evening with your guests. Loved it so much we came back a second time. We started with the pecorino and honey appetizer. Next we had a mushroom pizza, tagliatelle bolognese and pumpkin ravioli. All was great! Enjoy! read more

Delicious food and a very warm welcoming host. Would love to make it back to this place again someday. If you're in the area this restaurant is definitely worth your time. Prices are fair, nothing negative to say about Pacioccone. read more

Stopped for an early dinner before the canal cruise. Decided on buratta pizza, although the pasta also looked excellent. It was fantastic, best we've had since Italian. Authentic and full of flavor. I'd definitely come again. read more

Great atmosphere, great food, excellent service! Should be on everyone's list of places to eat in Amsterdam!

The food, the service was terrific. A romantic date for our 50th anniversary was made even more special by this experience.

Food was good but service needs some work. The restaurant was not full. A few empty tables and the two girl servers were busy on their phone. Of course they forgot half our order, maybe they were distracted by their phone. Whatever the case, there are too many restaurants around this area for them not to make an attempt to make an impression on their customers. read more

Trusted the reviews posted here and tried this little, off the beaten path, Italian restaurant out. What a terrific little place. Split a caprese, huge, and had taglialini vongole, and a spinach and cheese tortellini. Perfectly prepared. We felt like we were at our favorite trattoria in Italy. read more

Amazing food, atmosphere and service! So lucky we stumbled upon this quaint little unassuming restaurant with fantastic vibes.

Absolutely fantastic, fresh, authentic Italian. Cozy indoor or outdoor seating. We ordered the Burrata for a starter and holy smokes it was incredible! The best gourmet pizza I've ever had, I got the buffala pizza. My wife got a pasta dish she also loved. The couple behind us was raving about the food as well. Menu changes daily and fresh ingredients from Italy are brought in daily. You need to go! read more

Great place. Well done Italian, great wines to match. Course the meal or share even better.

Service was personal and polite and the food was excellent. Surely as good as more expensive area restaurants.

Food is excellent Restaurant is small but worth it We had a little problem getting all our food at once but this could have been a fluke read more

Have wanted to dine at this restaurant for a long time. Looks enchanted from the outside, situated in a unique building with a triangular footprint, in a gorgeous corner of the inner ring, close to Singel canal and Central Station. The experience was thoroughly disappointing. Some of this I'll chalk up to COVID aftermath. There really was only one functional server, the second staff was just bussing tables and delivering drinks. And so my review takes the staffing shortage into account. Maybe the executive chef was off on the Friday night we were there. Maybe it was just an outlier bad night. I felt bad that the server was making the melon and prosciutto apps behind the bar and still trying to wait tables. And drinks. And the cheese plates. But my tepid review is really for the food. Anytime I go out to eat and the food I'm served is worse than what I could make at home I am disappointed. Why bother in that case, I think to myself. Pizza: the menu selections looked interesting. Maybe the 4 cheese was the wrong choice. Nice crust, yes, well proofed and baked. Swimming in grease though a layer of oil at the surface made a meal best eaten with a knife and spoon. Truly my gall bladder was working overtime to process this, and the monotonous cheese overload without any offsetting ingredients was daunting. I felt nauseous after eating half the pie. Probably should've taken a statin. Still feel it today a day later. Lamb ragout: I can summarize this by asking you to picture noodles (decent tagliatelle, homemade likely), on which you dumped pan fried ground lamb and cheese, with so much animal fat in the plate that a small mammal would drown in it like quicksand. It was impossible for my companion to finish. Not a vegetable in sight. Not an offsetting item to soak up the fat. Flavors were dominated by greasy meat. This may sound like I'm being harsh. Maybe tomorrow in a fit of guilt I'll take this down. But honestly Gordon Ramsey would have taken a bite of this and sent this packing back to the kitchen with a disgusted scowl on his face. Maybe this is just post-COVID. But I wish I could erase the memory from my brain. read more

Il Pacioccone - Lamb ragout and got cheese pizza. - Italian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This was the best Italian food we've ever eaten! Seriously! The Carbonara will make you slap your mom...twice! This is a must.

First meal in Amsterdam... craving Italian. This place can be seen through hotel window. #1 scoped it out on Goggle. Yes Yelp not very useful in this town. Old school ambiance with real old school old Italian dudes holding court inside. The first thing we noticed a guy walks in with a basket full of bread. He speaks to the old dudes holding court then to single waitress at the bar for the front of the store. She promptly starts to slice into a loaf, then fills up several baskets. We get one and so do we he paisans. More folks shuffle in. I think. I looked up and the place once empty is half full. All I remember was that warm soft doughy goodness That melted in my kisser like those ol school communion wafers from catholic high school. Only 100 x better. We decide to share sliced ham and melon then each got a pasta dish. Mine, Bolognese, so I got a glass of red with it. With that settled, I commenced to pour olive oil and stole a balsamic vinegar bottle poured in a few splashes into a little plate. I added fresh ground pepper and salt. Took a slice dipped it lightly and poof... off to never land went I. I swear I was bouncing on cloud of pillowy warmness and Sophia Loren circa 1959 was pouring olive oil over my head. While Gina Lollobrigida, circa 1955, feed me dates wrapped in ham soaked in balsamic. The smoothing tannins of the merlot brought me back. Just in time for the paste Bolognese to show up. Complex, rich and bold, held tightly together by the perfectly aaldente home made Tagliatelle. Perfecto! Ooph. What a happy accident this was! I was craving pizza. They had none! Thank good for happy mistakes! read more

Excellent dinner and service. It's worth looking for, it's a bit off the beaten path.

Quaint Italian restaurant. Limited menu but all very good. Service was excellent and friendly. Highly recommended!

If you've come all the way to Amsterdam, but adore authentic Italian, this place is for you. Relax, there is no where to go but enjoy a beautiful Italian-run restaurant in a tiny period building in Amsterdam. A gem run by kind people who know what they are doing. There is no rush. Enjoy. Two of us shared a medium charcuterie and cheese plate and home made tagliatelle with a bottle of recommended red wine. I'll be back. read more

Food was amazing! Everything was so fresh and delicious. They create their menus daily and would 100% recommend. Be understanding that the menu can be different day-to-day but that's the beauty in places like this! My wife got pasta with claims and I had their spicy sausage pizza. Both were phenomenal! read more

What a gem of a small, family atmosphere restaurant. Every dish is a delicacy with indelible flavor. Nothing complicated, drowned in spices or ingredients. Just simple Italian magic, aided by inspired wines and like home-made desserts. High fives to Tomasso and his incredible wife Benedittina that actually produces the magic in the kitchen. I could recommend the burrata crostini with anchovies, the tuna pasta or the melt-in-your-mouth porchetta, but afraid you may not catch them, the menu changes daily based on whatever Benedittina finds freshest in the market. But you can ask Tomasso for a wine recommendation, he will not fail you. read more

Absolute gem near the heart of the old city. Fresh ingredients shipped in frequently from Italy and appropriate house wines

Very over rated. Food was not very good and restrooms were disgusting. Toilet seat fell off, Service was adequate cool building Would not return read more

We loved our meal here! Our waiter was awesome - so nice, helpful and engaging. We ordered gnocchi and seafood pasta - so fresh and so delicious. The cut fresh bread right before bringing it to the table. A great atmosphere in a cozy corner. read more

Extraordinary find. We came across this establishment on our way to Ann Franks House. After our visit, we were hungry and turned our thoughts to food. After much deliberation, my husband remembered seeing this restaurant full of people, always a good sign. So, we retraced our steps and the rest is history. The food was superb and the service friendly. We were a really demanding group of 6. We had the Burrata and tomatoes, the cheese was like silk. We also had the tiramisu , which was creamy. For the main courses we had the ravioli with truffles and the gnocchi a la bolognese, simply delicious. read more
