The interior is cozy which adds to La Perla's exclusivity and reservation-only culture because there is limited seating inside. My friend recommended La Perla to me. He goes every time he's in Amsterdam. I can see why. Service was also great and quite friendly.

We sat inside pretty much right across from the action at the pizza oven, so we took it all in. Best seat in the house, in my opinion, other than in fact being one of the four that makes the magic happen. One guy prepping the dough and putting the sauces on, one guy cooking in the round open pizza over and two guys topping after it's cooked. The entire process takes less than four minutes. The inside is not what you come for, but it's plainly appointed, don't really notice to be honest. Our Insalata Mista was very nice and certainly enough for the two of us, and the pizza Cappricciosa the same. A glass of house wine each and the bill was €42.

We had first gone to another Italian restaurant that was nearly empty, but due to reservations, they wouldn't take us in. This place was full, but the owner said if we could just wait a few minutes, they had some tables that were leaving. We had the caprese salad to start. It was very good. The mozzarella, tomatoes, arugula, basil, everything was fresh, and a nice sized portion, enough for two. We had lasagna that was a shareable size as well. It came out, piping hot, bubbling actually. But we made sure to save room for the cheesecake. Probably the best cheesecake I've ever had. The espresso martini and cappuccino topped it off. This place is quaint, and although super busy, if you have a little patience, it is a fantastic experience. Thank you to the owners for trying so hard to keep up with the volume. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend.

In the open kitchen you can see (and hear!) the chef work his magic. The bread, the starters, the fresh home made pasta's and the secondi's are all amazing. They import a lot from Italy themselves, and you can even but a bottle of olive oil here. The place is full of ferrari signs, foto's of Sophia Loren, etc. It feels like a second home. Great for a nice romantich night out or a double date, maybe not so good if you go with more then 4 people, as the place is very small.

On the outside it doesn't look all too fancy. Inside, the tables are closely arranged; making getting up from your table quite a challenge at times. However the waitress was friendly, and the atmosphere cosy. I had the truffle tagliatelle, which tasted excellent, but sadly wasn't cooked properly; it stuck together. Same goes for the pasta with sausage we had. Maybe the secondi taste better, but I'm not prone to go check them out after this experience. All in all, good service, but for the pricing they might pay a little more attention to the food.

The potato and porchetta was a nice pairing, though it could have used a little salt.

The exterior is understated, like many neighboring casual eateries; inside, the dining room embraces a cozy aesthetic with warm lighting, brick walls, and hundreds of handwritten notes from past diners. At 7:30pm on a Wednesday night, the restaurant was about full, with a buzzy yet intimate atmosphere, and they had plenty of room for my walk-in party of three. The menu focuses primarily on Italian cuisine, featuring a broad range of pizzas, pastas, salads, and antipasti. The offerings are intentionally approachable, emphasizing familiar favorites rather than highly regional Italian specialties. There is enough variety to accommodate both quick lunches and more leisurely dinners, with pasta (over ten different varieties of spaghetti), pizza, salads, entrees, and more. My two friends both opted for pasta dishes, which tend to range in between €15-20; coming off a recent trip to Italy, obviously, these dishes couldn't compare, but were solid and had well-developed sauces and al-dente pasta. I ordered the Lamb Chops (€23), and couldn't help but feel disappointed in the portion size. While the lamb chops themselves were cooked well, there were only three tiny pieces of meat. I also wasn't in the mood for greasy fried food that night, so I chose to only get a salad (it usually comes with fries and salad), and the salad itself was decent; a fresh, leafy mix lightly tossed in an oil-based dressing. Prices are relatively accessible given the location (Amsterdam isn't known for being a cheap city), with most meals falling in the €10-20 range before drinks, making it an approachable sit-down option in one of Amsterdam's busiest districts. Service is friendly if a bit slow (so take time to enjoy your meal), the food is solid if not stellar, and a convenient option in one of Amsterdam's most popular areas - just don't come expecting authentic Italian food!
