    House special
    Brad M.

    By far the best overall restaurant experience in Amsterdam. Great homemade Italian cuisine and atmosphere. Seating is quite comfortable with space unlike most European restaurants. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Authentic menu. Highly recommend their house speciality of Tagliolini Al Parmiagiano which is made in a large cheese wheel of Parmesan cheese. Cooked in front of you the delicious homemade noodles are quite delightful. Most people around us ordered that. We had four of the deserts which were excellent as well. The caprese salad was a nice twist on a classic. I highly recommend this place based on flavor, ambiance, price and staff. Not to be missed. Prices were some of the most affordable I've seen. Wine selection very good as well.

    Seafood linguine

    After walking around in the rain a bit, I was craving Italian and ended up here at Impero Romano. My meal started with the typical bread with oil and vinegar but the vinegar had a very distinct taste that was a pleasant change from the standard vinegar. I couldn't resist the seafood linguini per the menu description. And it did not disappoint. It was a delight with a hearty portion of octopus, shrimp, and mussels. The service was great and the atmosphere was peaceful and romantic. The set menu looked appealing as well and a return visit is due to try! I polished off my meal with a treat of tiramisu and it was one of the best I've tried.

    Servers were so kind and patient to us young silly Americans. The best Italian food I have ever eaten. I am still thinking of her.

    Great Italian food in Holland! Wine list was also great with outstanding service. Very nice ambiance

    I checked Yelp and it said the restaurant was open. So we walked half a mile to get there and it was closed for another two hours.

    One of the best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. They have a cheese wheel with truffle. You should go there.

He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.

    Flying Dutchmen is a really cool spot with great cocktails…read more I visited at 4 PM, shortly after opening, and got a table easily. It's a small space and can fill up quickly. The space is really cool, with some neat lit-up signs behind the bar and antique paintings on the ceiling. I tried a few cocktails and they were all tasty. These included the Flying Dutchmen -- their signature cocktail -- and the Umami Margarita. I was a bit hesitant about the Dutchmen because it was with gin and orange, but I liked it a lot. The margarita was unusual with some mushroom dust on the rim. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

    Thanks to Iago from NJoy, we heard about this soeakeasy and decided to check it out. Reservations…read morerecommended. Carlota who answered the doorbell, was able to accommodate us at the bar (our preferred seating anyway). She took our coats, placed them in the coat closet up front and led us inside. Once seated, we were given gorgeous ruby red complimentary aperitif (hibiscus, honey, ginger). The drink menu is interesting, based on the concept of growing up, with more basic tastes to start and more mature complex tastes later on in life. (The drinks are more complex the later in the menu). I ordered the Awake at Last, and my husband ordered the Ruby Stone. Mine was sweet and coffee flavored and his was more tart and sour cherry flavored. When I tried his drink, I immediately felt nostalgic because it reminded me of umeboshi (pickled plum in Japanese food), so we ended up trading drinks. Both were great for supping. Sitting at the bar was fun, watching the bartender at his work. He was silent, focused, skilled, professional. So glad we checked it out! I didn't post pictures of the entrance or inside because I'll leave it to you to discover! (The fun of a speakeasy).

They brought us a welcome cocktail to cleanse the palette and explained the menu. The servers/bartenders were very knowledgeable regarding what drinks could be made GF. I ordered the Danonino - it came with three different flavors. It was sweet but really good. Will def come back and try other drinks! Highly recommend.

We ordered beef bitterballen to try this traditional Dutch comfort food. Meanwhile, my husband ordered their signature cocktail called "Beurre Noisette" old fashioned and I ordered a Dutch Negroni (Negronis are my favorite drink to order wherever I go). Both were delicious! Meanwhile, we chatted with Iago the bartender, and Lily the manager. We learned more about Amsterdam and why so many people come here from elsewhere in Europe to work. Iago was super fun to talk to. He'd lived in Amsterdam for 7 years and It was only his first week here at NJoy. He was skilled as a bartender, being able to mix fabulous cocktails and also hold an interesting conversation at the same time. We'd go back just to be able to talk with him again, such a friendly bartender, very attentive, and professional. The beef bitterballen was so hot we had to wait a bit to try it. It comes with savory mustard that is better than any mustard I've tried before. Not sure why. The bitterballen were crispy fried with beef ragú inside. I'm not a fan myself but am glad I tried it. NJoy is elegant and romantic and cozy. There's another bar downstairs with a disco ball above. It would be fantastic to host a celebration event here. Their cocktails are memorable! Highly recommend!
