    Charming small place 1/2 block off the main thoroughfare Geldersekade near Nieuwmarkt, Chinatown (which has a fascinating history) and the Red Light District. As other reviewers have reported the Pasta Bolognese and the Pasta Parmiagiana were fantastic. We have small appetites (the two of us generally split most meals), we asked our server if the plates were large and he said "they are one person". We wanted to try more than one dish so we ordered the two pastas above. We could easily have split either dish, but for people with more "normal" appetites, the servings were just right. Service was excellent. Coming from the states, it takes a little getting used to servers that aren't always asking you how you are doing every 5-10 minutes. There was one server and six tables on an early Sunday night. He did very well. The drinks were good, the atmosphere and food felt authentic. They were friendly and fast. We would definitely recommend and will eat here again when we get the chance.

    We had very good service and the food was delicious. It's just off a main road with 2 little tables outside. Burrata was very fresh. Middle of the road pricing.

    Nice location, and a short walk from the train station.

    Good location, a short walk from the main train station, and right on the edge of the famous "Red Light District". The food is great, however I wish the portions were a little larger. The decor is a combo of simple modern with a touch of old European. The service is quick and friendly, and if you order pasta , you get "dinner and a show", because they bring out the flaming cheese wheel to flavor the noodles. This time I had a nice plate of sea bass, but next time I will definitely try a pasta dish.

    Great dinner to end our trip in Amsterdam. All the pastas were absolutely delicious but the bolognese was the star for sure. Not sure u would do the pizza again but pasta for sure! Great friendly service and cool atmosphere

    We were looking for a place to eat outside the main tourist area. We had a group of twelve or so and it was tricky to find somewhere that would work. I saw that Italia Oggi had good reviews so we gave it a try. They seated us quickly and were very pleasant after we sat down. The menu was typical for an Italian restaurant and had a good selection of pizza and pastas. The ambiance was casual and the prices were reasonable. For me two things stood out that really led to the 3/5 rating. The service was fine. The server tended to be gone for long periods of time which tends to be the norm in Europe relative to the US. The wouldn't split the check at all even though the waiter said they would do two checks when we sat down. Again, pretty typical for Europe. Overall though it just felt like we were annoying the waiter more than anything else. I ordered gnocchi which is a dish I really enjoy. They were baked in a dish with red sauce rather than boiled. The sauce was fine, but not particularly good. The larger issue was that they were very over cooked and very mushy. Gnocchi are a difficult dish and you have to get the cook time just right, unfortunately for me this was way off. The other diners in the group didn't have the same issues, but it was a huge let down for me.

    An absolute must for delicious Italian food while you're in Amsterdam. The service was extremely friendly and fun. We loved the pasta parmigiana show/presentation! It was busy and lively spot, but we were still greeted, seated and served faster than we had expected. From our two weeks in Europe, this was an absolute highlight for my wife and I. Highly recommend!

    When in Amsterdam and craving Italian food... go here. This place was fantastic, authentic and very close to Old Town. I had the Zuppa di Pesce with squid, muscles, white fish and shrimp. It was excellent! The broth was so good with the crispy garlic/Parmesan bread. Super delicious and recommend. My wife had the spaghetti bolognese, which of course, I tried. Al dente with a delicious meat sauce. We were traveling from Switzerland and craving Italian after eating bread, potatoes and fondue for a week and this place hit the spot.

    Pasta parmigiana, finished in a cheese wheel.

    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!

    Hostaria is an Italian restaurant situated in the Jordan area, the little Italy of Amsterdam. After…read morereading the reviews, we thought we'd give this one a try. 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.
