Imagine my happiness over summer when I realised De Pizzabakkers (who don't deliver and aren't a…read morepart of the crazy thuisbezorgd family) were opening up in my neighbourhood. This amazing local hotspot is generally buzzing on a Thursday and Friday night, so if you expect to eat in, be sure to make a booking! Otherwise, call ahead and order before you stop in for a pick up.. because if I'm truly honest, the waiting time can be a bit of a snoooooooore! My favourite pizza on their menu is the Tartufo- now the ingredient list is kind of random, there's cooked ham, eggs and cheese but the secret finish is the generous drizzle of truffle cream sauce and that my friends is the shiz. So basically the shiz all over my pizza bizz is the most magical and delicious combination (and yes, this is a tomato free pizza!!!!!)! I've also tried the Prosciutto, and with a twist of freshly cracked pepper, this pizza comes a close close second to my favourite! The only thing I'm sad about is that it's no longer summer and you can't enjoy the pizza (and prosecco) on the terrace but summer is only a few (plus a few) more months away guys! So I'll see you all there in the summertime!

Pizzeria Il Palio is located on Leidsekruisstraat, a short walk away from Leidseplein in Amsterdam…read more I decided to visit here for dinner, on the first day of my December 2023 trip to the Dutch capital. The restaurant is a decent size, there is a small number of tables as you enter the restaurant, or you can go down a small number of steps where there are more tables. The pricing was reasonable for food items, but I did find the €4.5 surcharge for a gluten-free pizza base to be a little excessive, I understand that gluten-free does cost the restaurant more, but it seems a little over the top to charge this much more. I decided to go for the gluten-free pollo pizza which contained chicken and mushrooms, the chicken was very good quality, the amount of the toppings (chicken, mushrooms, sauce etc) was generous and could almost be restaurant quality on its own, but the base was far too thick, it wasn't crispy, it was edible sure but wasn't too enjoyable. Drinks also seemed fairly expensive, especially non-alcoholic drinks, the cheapest drink in terms of € per ml was a draught beer - it was amusing to me how beer ended up being cheaper than water! The staff seemed friendly enough and the phone charging boxes were a nice touch as they don't have plug sockets by the tables. The other members of my party ordered a lasagna and were very pleased with their meals so perhaps their regular food seems much better than their gluten-free options, which need some work but there's a lot of potential for sure. 3* - I probably wouldn't return but that doesn't mean my experience was bad, there were some positives about the experience as mentioned.

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!
