Wow.. Okay I cant say whether this is authentic Italian food or not, I just know it tastes…read moreAMAZING!! I think the pizza here might have been the best I've ever had, and trust me I've had quite a few. I was told the appetizers here are really good too so we shared 4 appetizers and 2 large pizza's and 1 dessert between 4 people and we had some pizza left. The stewed octopus (polpo something) is a MUST get, it was really unbelievably good. It was super tender, with the perfect amount of chewiness. The sauce was a little strong but tasted amazing. They give you free bread (which is really good too, the super crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside kind of bread) so its perfect to dip it in. We also got the vongole in white wine sauce, which is really delicious as well. Again, perfect to dip your bread in. Very pungent garlic flavor but who doesnt love garlic?? I never thought I'd say this but, the fennel salad was totally worth the money too. I usually find salads a waste of money but this was to die for. The quail was slightly disappointing, not a lot of flavor, I would get something else next time :) Then the pizzas, we got one with spicy sausage and one with guanciale and walnuts. Ok so the pizza is like the perfect combination of crispy and bready dough (if you know what I mean), its pretty thin but it holds everything very well and doesnt get soggy. Especially the one with guanciale was really good. Lastly we got a tiramisu to share. I think the ladyfingers could have soaked up some more espresso, they were slightly too firm for me but still really good. Also the service was really good too!! I can't wait to come back here!!!

Since I did not immediately down my glass of red wine after it was served, when I was ready to take a sip, several dead flies were floating in my glass already. The waiter did not even comment when I pointed it out and just brought me a new glass (that immediatelty attracted a swarm of new flies). I did not drink it, but asked for the check and got ready to get out, my wine was not taken off the bill, nor was I offered any excuse beyond "thanks for your understanding".

Their spicy salami pizza tastes as in the 30 min I waited for the pizza the chef took a flight to Italy, hand picked the salami from a farm market stand, made the mozzarella himself with milk just extracted from the cow and baked this amazing delicious pizza in his grandmother wooden oven!!! I've went back so many times and i'm never disappointed! Their wine cart is a bit poor for my taste (but too be fare i'm quite picky with wine) P.S. Doesn't matter how full you are after your pizza, take an authentic italian cappuccino and top your meal with an incredible pistachio Gelato!

Come if you dont have girlfriend or if you have time to waste. But I have to say that the place was nicely decorated and pizza was also looking good but taste wise it was just ok. But for customers, service is the number 1 aspect of a restaurant so If they cant solve that issue I am not planning to visit again.

I asked the lady who was serving us food to prepare my salad without bacon ( i'm vegetarian) and it was no problem at all. The restaurant is very popular so if you want to come i advise to book the table in advance.

We shared the appetizer as well as one of the pizzas, which was completely fine. The pizzas (one Hawaii and one with seafood) were very tasty.

Goede en aardige service, komen vaak langs om te vragen of alles smaakt, gegeven dat we een van de weinige mensen in het restaurant waren op dinsdag middag/avond.

This is an adorable and authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Rotterdam. Though I was not…read moreexactly welcome with open arms when I first came in, the hostess begrudgingly allowed me to sit at an empty seat at the bar and have dinner. It was quite obvious that the clientele was mostly local, where everyone knew each other, and I was the stranger who popped in for a bite to eat unexpectedly and without a reservation. Once it was agreed that I would be served, the service was quite good. I received recommendations of how specialties and possibilities for what to pair with the meals. I selected the House Spaghetti Bolognese, and it was fantastic! It paired nicely w an Italian Rapisso. Toward the end of my meal, the owner/manager, bartender, and hostess were all quite accommodating and kind. I guess it took a little warming up to a stranger who just popped in. I would definitely go back there again if I'm in the area, And likely make a reservation this time. ;-) .

Ristorante Napoli is located close to Stadhuis in Rotterdam, I visited here after being recommended…read moreby Hilton Rotterdam, the hotel where I stayed during my recent trip to the city. As suggested by the name, they offer Italian cuisine, with gluten-free pasta offered. I was able to get a table despite it being very busy as my hotel had made a reservation the restaurant area is quite compact, with lots of tables, close to each other, and it can get pretty noisy, which meant I struggled to have a conversation with the other member of my party, sound levels were between 80 and 90 DB on this occasion. I did originally want to go for some pizza, but I decided to go for pasta instead as this was the only gluten-free option they had, I opted for a gluten-free Carbonara, while my friend had the Margherita Pizza. The food was served very, very quickly and was very hot, the food looked really good as well. The quality of my gluten-free Carbonara was just OK, and it looked so much better than it actually tasted, you could obviously taste that the pasta was gluten-free, but the sauce was fine, and the meat was cooked well. My guest also mentioned that she was impressed with her pizza, although she felt there was a little too much cheese on there, she was also happy to be served straight away in a busy restaurant. It is a little pricey here, but to save money if you're not as hungry, you can order any pasta or risotto dish as a "starter" portion, which works out to around 3-4 euros cheaper. The staff were friendly and the service was good overall. I was annoyed to have been charged for tap water, It was just put on my bill with no further explanation, the charge was €1.5. After speaking to a staff member when paying my bill, they told me that they charge from tap water and donate it to charity, a nice idea but I hate being forced to donate to a charity, especially one that I have never heard of, and I didn't notice any mention of this charge or about the charity, other than the name "DaDa". 3* - Not too bad, it wouldn't be my first choice to return again, but it's a decent Italian in the centre of Rotterdam that does appear to be popular with locals and has some plus points for sure.
