Suddlenly, my stomach said "pasta sounds good". So I went with it and just happened to be near the restaurant an aquaintance of mine said he was going to try out later on that evening. It wasn't busy when I went in so I had my choice of tables in either of two rooms. The first room was standard with bare tables, chairs and booths along with the service bar and a view of the kitchen. The other room was much nicer with white table linens, candles and wine glasses already set and ready to be used. I chose the simpler format and took a table by the window so I could watch the world go by while I had my pasta. I was served warmed bread with olive oil while I examined the menu. The waitress explained the menu and told me what the specials of the day were. I really only wanted a nice large plate of spaghetti with a bolognes sauce but it was nowhere to be found on the menu. I settled for the spaghetti with clams. The clams were lil bitty clams still in their shells awaiting my attack. Now, I'm no gourmet but it seemed to me the pasta was a little undercooked for my taste. Overall, the dish seemed a bit salty. Maybe I was expecting too much. The service was good and somewhat attentive though not overly. When the waitress came to take my empty plate I surprised her and ordered a scroppino to cap the meal. That seemed to take longer than I expected to arrive. It was okay when compared with the best I've had. Overall, I was pleased with the experience but I didn't leave satisfied as I wanted more. They're also dog friendly.

Deliciouss!!! Amazing food and service! Our server was attentive and knowledgable. I enjoy the pasta with egg plant it was equisite. My friend had the papardelle with ragu and ate it all!! Will def be back!!

Spaghetti with tomato sauce. So fresh and yummy!

I was hangering for Italian food especially a simple tomatoe base spaghetti and this place hit the spot. Great food and great service. My dish on the menu came with penne pasta but had them switch to spaghetti noodles. It was so fresh and delicious. My husband had the paparrella pasta dish with meat sauce. It was tasty too but I think my dish was better. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Everyone loved this place (and we're picky about Italian) from the bread, buratta, rocket salads and pasta. The winner might have been the pasta with mussels, but the pesto and the arriabiata were all delicious.

Easy to find and nice location. Friendly staff. The beet salad was fresh with nice goat cheese and citrus zing. The spinach gnocchi was creamy and fluffy. Nice sized portion. The meal came with some nice bread and sundried tomato tapenade. Reasonable prices.

So lucky to grab a table with my Mom for dinner on King's Day. Simple menu but wonderful food!

Pasta with cheese, rucula and walnuts
Ellie B.

Great red wine from the north of Italy, combined with the pasta covered with cheese, walnuts and arugukla was heaven. The waiters were incredibly professional and caring. Went there on a monday evening, and its a good sign when Italian grandmas eat their meal here

The  panna cotta is fantastic creamy delight with thin slices of dried candied orange.  A must have ending to your meal
Veronica S.

A great find to be sure . The food is prepared with attention to flavor. Be sure to try the steak, lasagna and cheese board....and the best dried tomato tapenade (Laurie's handcrafted) ask for her recipe

Fish soup was amazing

Another very nice Italian place in the little Italy street from Amsterdam…read more Don't expect pizza's here though this is a real kitchen! This very small Italian is always packed. 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. Expect to spend about 115 euro for 2 persons incl a bottle of wine. Make sure you reserve a table!

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 entrées on top of that were more than enough food. Also enjoy that evening. We had eggplant Parm, pasta carbonara and tortellini. Our server was great at explaining dishes and helping us make selections. The restaurant is a little warmer where we were seated near the pizza oven. The biggest negative was the person making the pizzas who understandably was hot, but did not want us to observe him even though he is in an open kitchen.

We had high expectations for Sebastian, but it ended up being one of the most frustrating dining…read moreexperiences we've had in Amsterdam. From the moment we started ordering, it felt like we were constantly being told "no." Multiple dishes on the menu weren't available to order, with little explanation or effort to offer alternatives. It was disappointing, especially when we had specifically come to try several of their signature items. The most bizarre part of the evening was the drink service. We asked for wines and liquors that were visibly displayed behind the bar, only to be told they were "reserved for the owner" and unavailable to paying guests. If bottles are on display in a restaurant bar but aren't actually available to customers, they shouldn't be presented as part of the experience. The staff wasn't rude, but the overall attitude came across as unaccommodating and dismissive. Instead of feeling welcomed, we felt like we were inconveniencing the restaurant simply by trying to order from the menu. Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience from start to finish, and we won't be returning. With so many incredible restaurants in Amsterdam that are happy to serve what's on their menu and behind their bar, it's hard to recommend Sebastian. Bar and restaurant staff continuously said "this is the worst day of my life."

So we're at our hotel breakfast the other day comparing notes with some people that we had just met…read moreand they suggested we consider this restaurant for dinner. We did and it was worth it. 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.
