The service and environment were friendly, and the food delivered. We enjoyed a Burrata tomato salad made with arugula, focaccia, penne pasta arriabata, and a rib eye steak. We also purchased a bottle of Italian wine, a barolo that was very nice. I will tell you that if we had drank more going to the bathroom, would've been a harrowing experience as the bathroom is located upstairs up a very narrow, steep stairwell. So, this Italian restaurant is very worthy of being considered while you're in downtown Amsterdam.

So next time I was in town, I was sure to make a reservation. They anticipated my arrival and sat me at the bar. They have WiFi that works! The pizza was really good and you could taste its freshness. I had a couple of cocktails but it was really tempting to get beer on tap. 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.

Because the space is small, you absolutely have to make a reservation. I went on a Sunday afternoon, almost right when they opened, and I didn't have a reservation. They offered me a table outside.

This Italian place is in the very center of the water village. On one of the isolated islands. With plenty seats both inside and outside in the yard. Fabio served us is also the owner, well son of the owner. We were treated very pleasantly. He lend us a charger for our phone battery emergency. They have pizza, pasta, and many other dishes of large portion. The price is around 8 to 12 for pasta and pizza. We had two coffees, shared one pizza of spicy salami and one truffle ice cream dessert. It was wonderful. We end up really satisfied with only 19 euro bill. To top up, Fabio was so friendly and passionate about his business. He chat with every costumer like they are friends. This is a family business he run with his uncle and dad. And they are from Sicily. Definitely visit again if we ever comes back to Giethoorn!

In this case go ahead order a bottle of good sparkling water instead. If you are hungry order the pizza. If you order other dishes it will be a longer wait. The service here is just under staffed. Do have all of your food come together. Don't recommend the house wine. Order other wine that is made by other winery. The beef dish is great. The dairy is Northland's main business. So order steak is for sure is a good choice. The Tiramisu is just so so. Taste like the regular cake. So don't expect too much.
