Fast and friendly service. A busy but roomy dinning room. Fresh pasta and great pizzas. We had the 4 cheese pizza, well good and cheesy with a good spicy salami. We also got a lamb ragu with parpadelle under a bread dome. Very tasty. The lemoncello spritzer very refreshing. I recommend this place if in the area. read more

Food and service were outstanding. It was one of the few places open on a November Monday night but the staff was fun and attentive. We started with the fried misto and shared a pizza the Parma. Bother were outstanding. There is a mix of Italians working there but the vibe is amazing. Maybe make reservations so you don't miss the fun! read more

Recently came to this establishment for a work trip. We received horrible service and the manager talked down to us. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

Four and a half stars. Friendly service, and they accept Visa signature cards as payment. The tables in the back patio area were packed by mid-evening thanks to the nice weather, and I snagged one of the few remaining seats at the bar as I waited a reasonable amount of time for my takeaway. Note that napkins and plasticware do not come with takeout by default. The tagliatelle fungi was quite flavorful, with generous shavings of truffle on top-- I'd definitely get it again. The Napoletana pizza was a bit chewier than I expected from a neopolitan style crust, topped with bold flavors, plenty briney from the anchovies and olives. A large pizza was enough to share between 3-4 people, and a pasta entree enough to share between 2 people. I would definitely come back here on a return trip, with so many delicious options on their menu yet to explore, in particular: ducati, bresaola, hannibal, capricciosa, pesce pizzas; superdivino, gnocchi all'astice pastas. read more

I went to Pastanini twice during my short trip to Den Haag, once just for wine, and the second time for pizza. I went in the first time just to drink a glass of wine and read a book, and I was really impressed by the service. Even though they were fully booked, they were happy to have me sit on the patio or at the bar, and they never made me feel weird about staying for a long time without ordering. Their wine selection by the glass was decent, and they were nice about letting me taste before committing to a glass. I also had a tiramisu that was just OK. The pizza looked so good that I knew I had to come back for a full meal. The grilled asparagus were just perfect, still a little bit crunchy but nicely cooked. I was happy with my spicy salami pizza and the lime cheesecake. I would easily come back the next time I'm in the Hague. read more

My new go-to pizza place in The Hague! They use quality ingredients on the pizza and the pizza dough is perfect - thin, chewy and NOT soggy. The reason for 4 stars is pasta. Although they advertise that all of their pastas are homemade, the linguine I had were definitely store bought, dry pasta (and if you read my other reviews you probably know how much I hate that and consider it lazy). The bolognese sauce was not a traditional, hearty, sauce, but a rather mild, pink, version that had mascarpone cheese in it. I'll definitely be back and will attempt to the best of my ability to order another pasta dish (and not pizza) so I can give them another chance. That said, even if it is not up to my standard, their pizzas will keep me coming back. read more

Pastanini - Four cheese pizza! Excellent! - Italian Near Me - Scheveningen, ZH

I was at The Hague for work and stopped in with my husband for dinner. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. We had the shrimp appetizer, salami pizza and tiramisu. OMGGGG everything was delicious! I am craving the pizza as I type I loved the ambiance and everyone was so warm and inviting. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area! read more

So thankful they were able to seat our part of 4 between reservations, so try to reserve a table before heading to the restaurant. We had the salami pizza (with spicy salami), the margarita pizza and another with prosciutto, olives and artichoke hearts. Each pizza was amazing. We devoured them! Everything I saw come from the kitchen looked delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Mouthwatering! Simply some of the best Italian food my brother and I have had in a while. The superdivino Pasta was so good and perfect for everyone unable to choose between pizza and pasta. Pasta Portions are bigger than the pizzas - so have those if you're hungry. Excellent service and great recommendations. Let you trade the inside of your superdivino pasta with any other pasta dish - great! Seafood pasta was also really awesome. Great tiramisu and chocolate lava cake as well. read more

What a find! This cozy and quaint Italian cafe has a great staff and excellent food. The menu is diverse and has good selections for carnivores and vegetarians alike. The pizzas are particularly impressive and the Tiramisu was delicious. Fair prices as well. Busy - but will make room for groups. And they take reservations which I highly recommend. read more

Fantastic! Wonderful food, truly Italian, friendly staff. One of the best bruschetta I have ever had. Don't miss this place!

Note that I usually write reviews after more than one trip to a location, but since I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get back here, I thought I'd write a little something anyway because I loved my experience. Everyone who works at the restaurant is very friendly and don't give you the cold shoulder if you're an obvious tourist, like me. Almost everyone I talked to was at least bilingual, which I don't expect eating abroad, but was appreciated nonetheless. The food was the best I've had in The Netherlands so far - lobster pasta (the nightly special, I don't know if you'll find it just any night). Overall, a great experience for the price. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Absulute favourite for relaxed bite with family. Great italian food. Not your standard menu but simply great! And the staff is very friendly also ( or even especially :-) when you have kids. Which is typical Italy. Pizza tartufo is really top as is the rib-eye con ruccola. And don't forget the pollo arrabiatta. I totally don't recognise the review of Adam B with the remark about the tap water. Or maybe they learned from it. :-) read more

I had a lunch with a friend. We have order pizzas and I have orderd a glass of wine and a glass of tap water. It took a waitress a long time to bring us drinks and she brought me instead of glass a small bottle of tap water. When I went to pay the bill I noticed that I was charged 1 euro for the tap water. When I asked the waiter what is this, instead of giving me an explanation, she told me that I pay water in my household so I should not be so surprised to be charged for the tap water. I tried to explain that this is the first time that a resturant charges me for a tap water. To make this even worse the waiter who brought me water further explained that if she had served me only a glass it would not be charged, but because she brought me a bottle it must be charged. I have told her that indeed I requested a glass and not bottle, and that I understand that they use this "trick" to cheat on customers. Regardless of the quality of food, this is the last time that I visit this fraudulent restaurant. read more

The food here is good, but the beer choice is poor, and they don't accept credit cards, which left me in a very bad situation when I ate there this evening read more

I went here before a trip to Scheveningen and wow! The best Italian food I've eaten outside Italy! From the bruschetta to the pasta to pizza, everything is authentic with Italian herbs and fresh ingredients. They have a traditional pizza oven so the pizza is really perfect, the dough is delicious and the toppings as well. The pasta comes with the most tender lamb ragout you can imagine, seriously yummy! You can sit in an area with plant on one wall and glass at the roof so it's really light and cozy, typically Italian! The prices are ok for the quality you get and the servers are very friendly! Come here when you long for a trip to Italy you'll certainly be satisfied ;) read more

Great pizza (2 sizes) and seafood risotto (lotsa fish). Friendly service and Italian beer. Desserts were very tasty. Great atmosphere.

The pizza is fair. The service is, unfortunately, typical. They will not give you a glass of tap water no matter how much you spend on food and drinks otherwise, and if you ask for tap water you'll get a lecture about how "this is a business and we must make money." read more

The food here is good, but overpriced, compared to other similar places in the Netherlands. It's a nice place to sit, if it weren't for the bad service. As part of a general lack of service-orientedness, they are very difficult about giving you tap water, which sometimes they will flat out refuse. To me, as a Dutch person, this is extremely inhospitable, and the staff's attitude makes me go to this restaurant much less often than I would otherwise. Also, after having sat in this restaurant, you smell of food. They need to sort out their ventilation system, but most of all, their service. At these prices, you can't expect customers to put up with this kind of treatment AND being smelly the rest of the day. read more
