I love Italia Oggi! I learned about it from dear friends who had dinner there years ago. They sent…read moreme a photo of them with the owner. When I visited there myself in 2024, on a Sunday night, the owner was not there, but his son was and when I showed him the photo of my friends and his dad, he suggested we get a photo of the two of us. We did. Then I just was back again with my sister and brother-in-law and I showed them both those two photos and they suggested getting a new one of the three of us. We did. Now I live in California, so it's not like dropping in because I'm in the neighborhood, but this place feels like family!! They delivered a fabulous dessert for my 80th birthday. That is family! Food is always deeeelicious and served with special care. Thanks Italia Oggi for making each visit so very special.

Our dining experience was good. I would come back but would definitely try other places in the area first. Nothing bad. Just nothing stellar.

Disappointingly customer unfriendly. We wanted to have dinner on the terrace with a group of 10…read morepeople. Couldn't make a reservation, so we came early to bestie ourselves there would be enough space (which was the case, half of the terrace was still empty). To have a very snobby waitress tell us in a very infriendly manner that "it was their policy not to move a table so a group could eat together". Upon the question what the big difference was to a table for eight and a table for two, 50 cm apart, she anwered "well, then we might just as well hire 12 waitresses". Didn't quite get the point of that, but we wanted to celebrate a birthday in pleasant surroundings so we went to the neighbours, Café Keppler, and had an excellent evening there, with lovely service from people who actually understand that running a restaurant is about making sure people feel welcome.

The appetizer, the bruschetta, was average and lacked any real Italian flavors. The house wine was similarly less than average. The pizza was descent but again, nothing special. If you want an average meal in a food factory, I would go here. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't very memorable and reminded me more of a place to 'just eat something' rather than a restaurant that provides anything memorable. The service was fantastic though. I will be rating this restaurant with 3 stars. It's a 3 minus, actually, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt!

Absolutely delicious! Will be back! It was nice to find this…read morehidden gem. Thank you for the great food and service.

What is great about this place are the terrific views. Not many tourists come here, but surprisingly the staff does not speak any Dutch. They are Italian and told me they are trying to learn. Normally, I get a bit annoyed but this lady was so sweet. I spilled some tomato on my white dress and she gave me a sponge with hot water and soap. A lot of people buy there coffee and sandwich to go and then hop on the ferry. But if the weather is nice it is wonderful to sit on the terrace and look at the water, the boats and the amazing skies. Hard to imagine that you ard only 5 minutes away from the Central Station. Definitely worth a visit!

Really, everything we had was great - bread with olive oil, salads, pizza, pasta. The prices were quite reasonable too, which was icing on the cake. We put this gem on our list of fallbacks for future trips. We found ourselves back in Amsterdam last week and without inspiration for dinner. As we were going to be in the area, we thought we'd try Da Giorgio again. The restaurant was decidedly less crowded than the last time we were there - this time, only a few tables were occupied. We probably ordered the same things we had over the summer and we found it just as good this time. This joint is a solid standby. If you're in the Red Light District or at Centraal Station, you won't be disappointed.

5&33 was likely the swankiest pitstop that we made in Amsterdam. It's located inside of a hotel and…read morehad great ambience, good service, and a fire place that lit up the entire restaurant. You'd think Anthony Bourdain would be up to something if he dropped by this place. Everything seemed fitting for a romantic evening out. You've got servers ready to bounce at you with your order, a candlelit table, and restrooms that offer fancy towels, lotion, and even cologne... or maybe someone left it there by accident? Either way, they certainly live up to their reputation for bougieness. We would've ordered an entire three course meal. However, we came here for one thing only- their charcuterie plate. Meats. Cheeses. Bread. That's all we really wanted, and it was fantastic. Their prosciutto was extremely tasty and the selection of cheeses to match were fab. We got a sense that the wait staff were a bit annoyed that we only ordered their €30 charcuterie board, but hey, they're known for such and I will attest that it was good. I'd love to come back one day to taste more of their heartier fare, but until then, I am satisfied with my care at 5&33.

However the place was quite nice and the cocktails were excellent, kudos to the bartenders :D Kinda odd that there wasn't a coat room or even coat hooks so everyone had piles with them consisting of their coat and bag. Hoping to maybe go back and check it out another time.
