What an amazing dining experience. The decor inside the restaurant is fancy yet not too upscale,…read morethe menu is huge, servers are attentive and helpful and the food is out of this world. After taking the drink order, a nice accompaniment of olives, bread and spread were brought to the table which already had EVO for dipping. The pizza Parma tasted as good as it looked, the outside crust was thicker than the rest but so fresh and good. The ham wasn't salty but really went well with the cheese.... Oh my the ravioli - it looked like a work of art, and tasted so good... ravioli covered in a mushroom and cream sauce and adorned with a couple chips, a couple breadsticks, toasted chestnuts and micro greens. Just an amazing place and excellent food.....thank you for a wonderful meal.

Looking for a pizza while in Schoorl For work. Originally…read morewas going to simply go to 'trefpunt but was reminded we had not tried this location as of yet. 31 different pizza options should hit almost any type of hunger. I went with the Bergen (tomato sauce, mozzarella. Pesto, bacon and rocket) while my colleague had the Groet (every meat you can think of :)) Both were very good. Thin crust with very good flavor. Started with soups (fish soup was reported to be fantastic while the minestrone was ok). House wine was acceptable. I'd say a good spot to stop by if you are hungry for some Italian while in schoorl

It was my very first time visiting Alkmaar for a show and food was also on my mind. After a short…read morewalk from the train station we spotted Happy Italy near the venue and decided to eat here without hesitation. This place is absolutely massive in size and offers both a ton of seating, but also a ball pit for kids which was heavily used when we were there. The menu here has a ton of different pizza, pasta, and salad options as well as some appetizers, desserts, and drinks to round out the meal. I had one thing on the mind and it was pizza, BBQ chicken pizza (I also tried a piece of the Pizza Prosciutto di Parma and it was very, very good). Let me tell you, this is the type of pizza I want at all times of the day. The pizza itself was the perfect size while the dough was on the softer side, which I absolutely love. Both the chicken and the BBQ sauce on top were great as well, making this a great pizza that I absolutely finished off. Overall, Happy Italy cured my hunger and treated me well at the same time. This place was insanely busy during my visit and the staff did seem to be stretching themselves out a bit, but they were all very kind and did a great job. Good food? Good staff? And to top it all off the restaurant itself looks cool as well! This place is covered in books, art, and everything in between to make the whole visit wonderful. Hungry for the pizza? This place has you covered.

I have been here with my two daughters. Both ordered the same pizza, one was well done, one wasn't…read morecooked well. We asked the waitress if the second pizza could have a second round in the pizza oven. After ten minutes, she brought a new, again half cooked pizza. Again, we asked to fix this (pizza #1 was very fine). A manager waiter came by, discussing about dough, cheese etc, but not fixing the problem. At the end, my daughter more or less ate half of it. There was no sorry, not a scoop of ice-cream for my daughter or anything else, just the full bill. I asked if it wasn't strange to pay full for half cooked food. That was not her decision to make. We will not come back here. Sometimes it just happens, the food is not cooked well. It matters how you respond. It was very clear, their 100% satisfaction guarantee only exists on paper, not in real life.

Great location for Italian and much much better than Portofino but at a more expensive price. I…read morehad a the two course meal, perfectly creamy risotto to start followed by delicious ravioli (buffalo mozz, basil and tomato) with each bite like a margarita pizza! Very good house wine and friendly service. I would certainly swing back through next time I am in the mood for Italian.

What can I say....?…read more Fantastic, modern Italian food in this brand new restaurant. Best I had in years, better then most (any?) michelin star restaurants I tried over the years. Also amazing wines (arrangements possible). If you're in the neighborhood don't miss out on this one. Prices are very good.. 2 courses for 25,50, 3 for 28,50, 4 for 32,50
