This place is an experience in itself! Besides the pastas being absolutely delicious, the singing and the show was beyond superb! Everyone working there is super friendly and very accommodating- i told them we were there celebrating a friends birthday and they especially sang a beautiful song for her along with brought a special dessert out for her. We did the prefix menu where you get 3 pastas and the antipasto - we opted out for the antipasto and asked if we could get an extra pasta instead and they were totally cool about it! The drinks are also amazing here! You need a reservation to eat here and it's worth every penny don't leave Amsterdam without visiting this restaurant!!

Pasta e Basta is a particular reataurant, busy, you have to reserve one of the two diner sessions (from 6 to 9 or from 9 onwards). You can choose a 2 course menu or a 3 course, pretty expensive options both. The decor is a bit old, dark, and the specialty of the place is the singing of the waiters. Antipasti were giving me the impression of being prepared well in advance (the day before?), while the pasta was ok. You get 3 types of pasta to share, food I would nevertheless note average despite being 'inspired' by a Dutch chef, marketing that is reflected in the prices. Prosecco was good but the Chardonnay was terrible. Luckily the service was nice.

Delicious Lamb Pasta

I made reservations here for my wife and my anniversary and it was a great choice! You must try this place at least once while in Amsterdam. The food and service is wonderful and the show put on by the staff is simply unique and a great treat that adds to the romance of this place. I highly recommend the lamb and risotto here if they are offering it. You may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of someone famous dining there!

Get the lasagna as one of your three pastas. It is out of this world amazing! I really wished we had ordered two of those.

You've heard about it, so I won't go into a huge amount of detail, but I just don't think it's natural for people to break into song.

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.
