    Calamari
    Maestro L.

    This place is a hot mess. Other than the one bartender the staff is simply untrained. Our waitress tried but she just didn't know any of the wines, or a wine brand from a grape. We were going to eat dinner here but ended up just having an appetizer and walking next-door to the pizza place. We had the calamari which in my opinion was not Calamari, the consistency and perfect rings was just not right. The place was also very dirty, don't look up at the ceiling tiles or light covers.

    Authentic home style Italian good in the Southside of Amsterdam. We went on a Sunday night which was parm night. Chicken, eggplant, haddock, sausage & meatball parm selections. 12.95 you get a house salad with delicious homemadeItalian dressing, a basket of their homemade garlic bread, voice of Parm and side of pasta. A great deal ! This place has been here for years and sad to say business is slow because it's in an out of the way spot. A great place to go for Authentic Italian food. Friendly staff, great Chianti and good atmosphere!Take a ride to Amsterdam and patronize this restaurant! It's worth it!

    Parillo's doesn't look like much from the outside as you make your way across the street from the private parking lot for customers, but it's got a quaint, friendly vibe on the inside that makes you feel like you're visiting family. Once you're past the bar and booth seating up front, the actual dining room feels more like your grandmother's house than a restaurant, with a random piano here and an old couch there. It's clean, inviting, and cozy, and the wait staff certainly helps make you feel at home too. While we didn't see a wine list, we were able to order a few glasses of chardonnay and pinot grigio, which were decent (and affordable at $4 a glass). Dinner portions came with a soup that was quite tasty, salad with a house Italian dressing, and bread with garlic butter. By the time our meals came out, it was tough to eat much more. My veal prosciutto was very tasty, though a little soggy due to juices being left on the plate, and came with a side of roasted potatoes which were excellent. Two steaks came out looking quite good, though one was a little too red for a medium rare. The sides of pasta were also quite good. Overall, the 4 of us ate very well for $100 (which included 6 glasses of wine). There aren't many restaurants in the Amsterdam area, so I was glad to find Parillo's to be a good selection among the few.

    View of the Amsterdam Castle Hotel from the patio at Parillo's.  This was once the Armory that gave the restaurant its name.

    Great spot for a quick drink after work or dinner with family. Choice of eating at the bar or in a dining area in back. Staff and management treat you like family and the food is delicious! I highly recommend it!

    We stopped here for Sunday lunch while visiting one of our kids in Amsterdam. We were pleasantly surprised by the service and food. It is hard to try a new place without knowing what to expect. I'd definitely recommend eating here if you're looking for a delicious Italian lunch or dinner. We sat outside at one of their small tables. The flowers and decor were a nice touch, so was the Italian music playlist. My husband ordered the antipasto, the small was large enough to share but he chose it for his meal. I had the homemade cavatelli & meatballs. The pasta was delicious and the meatballs were moist and cooked well. One of our kids had the personal pizza and had no complaints. The other had the crispy chicken sandwich which came with crispy fries as a side. Everyone ate everything on their plates! They had good beers on tap and decent wine and the homemade garlic bread and Italian dressing were delicious too. I would recommend checking the place out!

    This place is closed. It has been closed for over a year. Not sure why there are still hours and it is saying open.

    Best Italian food in Amsterdam. Try the greens and artichokes for APPS and anything for dinner will be awesome.

It's honestly a time warp going into this restaurant, like going back to the 1950s. Which would be nice if it didn't have to smell like an artifact from the 1950s. The elderly lady who served us was nice.

We each ordered dinner, mine was chicken parm which included pasta and salad for $25. The dinner was good, not great, but generous portion. When we got the bill, we noticed we were charged extra for the blue cheese, classless and ridiculous, but I know other restaurants sometimes do it. Okay. But then...we saw the $21.00 charge for three diet cokes. $7.00 a glass? There had to be a mistake! I asked the waiter who said it was not an error, but in fact, what they charge. At $7.00 per glass we could've bought a 12 pack of soda each! My guests and I were totally shocked and could not believe it wasn't an error! Needless to say, we will not be back. For the price of three glasses of Coke, we could've bought another full dinner! I did tell the waiter it was ridiculous and a good way to keep customers from returning. We won't be!
