They have closer restaurants to the village entrance, but reading all the great reviews about La Piccola Venezia, we walked the extra 15 minutes, and we didn't regret it.

Because the space is small, you absolutely have to make a reservation. I went on a Sunday afternoon, almost right when they opened, and I didn't have a reservation. They offered me a table outside. The table still had cigarette dust on it. The menu is short but representative of Italian cuisine. I think I ordered the wrong thing because I didn't find it spectacular. My Italian colleague advised that the Roman dishes are the best. If you need authentic Italian food in Groningen, go to Gustatio. If you go to Gustatio, make a reservation!

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.

Wonderful, inviting restaurant with delicious Italian food! They have been in business since 1982…read moreand are run by an Italian family. I swear that, in all the years we have been coming here to eat with the family, the owner/grandfather greeted us in Italian -- partially because my in-laws used to live in Italy and speak fluent Italian. My husband still gets the "Italian" treatment... lucky him. My personal favorite are their pizzas (yes, of course, a real wood oven) and my children swear by the lasagna. Through the years I have crafted my own version of a "great" pizza, by ordering a plain pizza and adding gorgonzola and aetichokes. I cannot explain the flavor combination, but the tartness of the artichokes and creaminess of the gorgonzola compliment and expound upon each other. They have Pellegrino, Grodino, and a full bar with (home-made) limoncello: nomnom. If you're stuck in Ede and considering my Bernardo's icecreamery, go here first for dinner!

This Italian place is in the very center of the water village. On one of the isolated islands. With plenty seats both inside and outside in the yard. Fabio served us is also the owner, well son of the owner. We were treated very pleasantly. He lend us a charger for our phone battery emergency. They have pizza, pasta, and many other dishes of large portion. The price is around 8 to 12 for pasta and pizza. We had two coffees, shared one pizza of spicy salami and one truffle ice cream dessert. It was wonderful. We end up really satisfied with only 19 euro bill. To top up, Fabio was so friendly and passionate about his business. He chat with every costumer like they are friends. This is a family business he run with his uncle and dad. And they are from Sicily. Definitely visit again if we ever comes back to Giethoorn!

In this case go ahead order a bottle of good sparkling water instead. If you are hungry order the pizza. If you order other dishes it will be a longer wait. The service here is just under staffed. Do have all of your food come together. Don't recommend the house wine. Order other wine that is made by other winery. The beef dish is great. The dairy is Northland's main business. So order steak is for sure is a good choice. The Tiramisu is just so so. Taste like the regular cake. So don't expect too much. The salad seems all under dressing in all the restaurant in this country. Over all we like it.
