In a city flooded with Italian restaurants that serve almost the same menu everywhere, what makes a…read morerestaurant stand out is friendly attitudes, great service, and a great location. Capri is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood to get a good meal and indulge in a good dinner conversation with company. During the summer months, it's always a great idea to find a table outside, while during the colder months, you could enjoy watching passers by from the huge windows. I never miss the opportunity to get a pizza while I am here. In recent times, the quality has definitely gone up and it now compares very favorably with the best pizza spots around town. The wine selection is decent, and the Tiramisu is apparently home-made. Menu advice: Start with the bread + garlic butter, follow it up with almost any pizza pie, and then the tiramisu as the grand finalé. You're sure to come back!

We check out the area and my husband sees this Italian place, so we just HAVE to go. When you walk in, the smell lets you know that you picked a good place. We were immediately seen and seated. We were also given English menus to find our lunch. The .5 liter of wine seems a tiny bit steep, but it was good wine...a light Merlot. And we each got a pizza. I'm sure I've never had crust like that before. It was so light and airy! It was just perfect. Not thin and not very think, so soft, like fresh bread should be. The tomato base was very good and had just the right amount. And they covered the whole pizza with cheese! Not everywhere does that, but I certainly appreciated it. The pizza is a fairly good size, but we managed to each finish our own. We will return!

You will become friendly with other guests as the tables are right next to each other. Moving on to the staff - the owners are very accommodating- speak English- and very friendly.

Our group had various pastas and pizza - everyone was quite pleased with their selections. The serving sizes are just right ( not too large or small) - the food seasoning was not too strong yet delivered a very tasty meal. When in Amsterdam- I will revisit this small, quaint Resteraunt

Was really excited to come here on my vacation to have a sit down dinner with my family but…read moreunfortunately that was not the case. The drinks were really good but that was about it. I ordered the pesto pasta and it was bland literally just tasted like pasta. Most of my table sent our food back then one person just asked for fries and never got them but they were on her bill. The staff was a little rude when we were trying to send out food back and it seemed like they avoided our table with how long it took to get simple things and our checks. I ended up leaving while they were waiting for the fries and checks and I went to MANNEKENPIS which happened to be on the same street.

Last dinner in Amsterdam, and we went out with a bang…read more We decided to check out Ristorante La Festa because it was just a few doors down from the apartment we were staying in. After seeing its awesome Yelp reviews, we decided to dine here on our last night, as we wanted something close by and easy. We walked in and were able to get seated immediately. There were only a few parties inside on a Saturday night, an hour before closing. Our server was super friendly, personable and helpful. He told us that the special pizza of the night had burrata and that there were only two pizzas left; if he sells all of the pizzas at the end of the night, his boss will buy him a bottle of whiskey. We had to help the guy out! Plus, burrata is amazing, so how can you resist? We also decided to order the vegetarian antipasta platter with our wines. The food was awesome and so deliciously fresh. The vegetarian antipasta platter came out first, and all of the different assorted items were mixed throughout in an olive oil base with pesto. There were chunks of mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, bleu cheese, cucumbers and arugula. It was better than expected and a great way to start our meal. The pizza then came out and it was delicious! The burrata, as it should be, was the star of the pizza, with its big lump right in the middle. All of us were able to get a chunk of burrata with every slice. For the three of us, the pizza was the perfect portion for sharing. (And our server did end up selling out all the pizza specials, so won his whiskey!) After our meal we were provided complimentary limoncello, which was the perfect night cap. I will say, I'm not a huge Italian food fan, but Ristorante La Festa makes me think otherwise. This was a great dinner in Amsterdam, and who knew you could find awesome Italian food in the Netherlands? The place also feels very home-like, with its small space, dim lighting and far distance from the tourist scene. I'm already missing Ristorante La Festa and Amsterdam.

The owner had some of his friends in so they were sitting back, playing cards, joking, and just having a blast. Even with friends in, the owner was so attentive to us. It made us feel like one of the 'family'. Service was attentive and fast. The food is damn good and the portions are gigantic. No, seriously. After traveling and walking around all day without much food, I couldn't even finish half my meal. There's a house cat!!! Ahh. My crazy cat lady heart was stoked to snuggle that cutie while I tried to shovel the food in my mouth. Also, something to note: owner of the restaurant even handed me out some Advil so I didn't have to run out and get it when I had a headache. All around perfection at La Festa. Do yourself a favor and GO!
