Al Mercato in Wijk 00 Centrum

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to, if not the best. I had the spaghetti vongole and a spicy salami pizza. Everything was very well cooked. And that's the important word. The pizza's tomato sauce was delicious. A small downside to the tiramisu was that it lacked coffee. In any case, I know where to come back! We highly recommend it.

A very good Pornstar Martini and a Pizza Parma. A definite recommendation.

Al Mercato is a lovely restaurant in a lively city square and has a large variety of dishes on their menu. The atmosphere in the dining area is pleasant and colourful. Their food is delicious, pastas were out of the world!! Vodka tomato sauce penne was fingerlicking worth..

Delicious food, friendly staff, highly recommended!

We had the whipped ricotta for appetisers and spaghetti with clams and shrimps (linguine on the menu) and the Conchiglie Al Mercato as mains. The bread with the whipped ricotta came hot, they were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The ricotta, truffle, and honey combo were truly excellent. The pasta were al dente and the sauces were cooked to perfection. We loved every bite and the servers were friendly and took really good care of us. We will definitely come back to try their pizzas and gnocchi - we saw them being served to other tables and had food envy!

Atomosphere was in very good. The food was very good. the tomato sauce was good İ prefer pizza to eat but there is not much of kokteyl

As an Italian and restaurateur, I can say the food is excellent. The pasta was truly delicious, and the service was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

Amazingly delicious food, very friendly staff, and authentic Italian people, and definitely worth a detour. I would definitely like to come again.

Heerlijk gegeten en bediening was uitstekend. Mooie locatie aan het plein waar het gezellig druk was. Al met al zeker de moeite waard!

Best pizza! Very tasty and the cellars are really nice 👏

The terrace isn't very large, so we sat inside. The atmosphere is great with all the illuminated bottles on the wall. The staff is friendly. The pizza was decent: spicy pizza wasn't spicy, the margarita pizza was rather bland, and the Parma pizza was good. The pistachio lava cake dessert was a disappointment. I inquired about it, and it was supposed to be a cake with pistachio and white chocolate sauce. Instead, I received a flavorless, greenish cake with milk chocolate sauce. A disappointing end to the meal.

What a surprise this was! The food was wonderfully prepared. Thank you.

During Maastricht's Saturday market, despite the entire street being packed with food, this place was surprisingly quiet! The chairs, decor, and tableware were all quite fancy, and the prices were certainly high. We ordered octopus, two pasta dishes, and two drinks for 80 euros. The food was delicious! The only downside was that it had rained earlier that day, and while it had stopped by the time we arrived, the outdoor seating cushions were still wet...

Very enjoyable family dinner, great food using quality ingredients. Sumptuous amounts of burrata, nice 👍 The tiramisu from another guest needed improvement though. Bit unfortunate for an Italian restaurant. But then again I'm not really a desert person, hence 5 starts, as for me everything was great

We had personally reserved a table (for a larger group) for 8:30 p.m. When we arrived on time, we were asked to wait a few minutes because the people in front of us were just leaving. No problem! After waiting outside for a quarter of an hour and asking twice, we finally went into the restaurant, but the tables were still not available. We weren't given any further information and were simply ignored. So we ended up going to the restaurant next door. Service definitely couldn't be better.

😗🤌 Delicious food and excellent service.

By far the friendliest staff and the best service, along with the most delicious food! We'd love to come back.

Authentic Italian food – the burrata and pizza are perfect! I've only had pizza this good in Italy!

Wonderful terrace. Super friendly staff who know how to smile and make you feel at home. My spaghetti puttanesca was perfect and very tasteful.

Best truffles pasta north of the alps, and other dishes are great as well. Phenomenal and friendly service!

Had a fantastic meal here today. The waiter and patron was incredibly attentive, a truly perfect man, so friendly and welcoming. The truffle pasta was amazing, and the pizza was fantastic, too! The tiramisu was top-notch!

This is a very good Italian restaurant on the Maastricht culinary map. You can feel the passion of the hosts for their cuisine and their guests. The dishes are prepared with high-quality ingredients, beautifully presented, and full of authentic Italian flavors. The service was very polite, helpful, and smiling. They made us feel welcome. The pizza was very good, with fresh toppings and a thin crust, although not entirely impressive. For example, the Truffle pizza had little truffle flavor. The Malfadina tartufo also lacked the intensity of the truffle flavor. The Linguine and Conchiglie Al Mercato were delicious. And since I love sweets, the absolute highlight of the evening for me was the Coure al pistacchio dessert, a delicate pastry with a pistachio center, generously topped with liquid, incredibly velvety milk chocolate. We paired it all with a great Italian wine, Primitivo di Manduria. It's worth noting, however, that the restaurant was very crowded on the day of André Rieu's concert, and despite making a reservation, we had to wait a while for a table. Overall, the experience was positive, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian flavors.

On Sunday, I went to the cellar, and at first, he was friendly. I asked if it was possible to use the bathroom. Of course, I would have paid for that. Apparently, that wasn't possible, and his friendliness vanished as if by magic. He asked me to please go to Poke Bowl next door. I could have become a customer...

Wow! I've rarely had such a delicious pizza! The Pizza Parma was generously topped, with a very thin and delicious crust! Other dishes, like the truffle pasta and the pumpkin ravioli, were also divine. The service was very friendly and welcoming, and the accompanying wine was highly recommended! We were here during the André Rieu concert, which was quite busy (we made a reservation in advance), but everything was perfectly taken care of. We will definitely go back when we visit Maastricht!

Bery pretty nice place in the middle of the arealna in Maastrich. Food are tasty and staff is very gentle. Very close to A Riue concert area.

We had a great time at this restaurant. Our lovely Polish waitress was outstanding. She knew about every item on the menu and what the portions were and recommended a few appetizers to the group so we could share them amongst ourselves. She checked on us often and ensured our glasses were always full. Excellent service and food. Thank you!

Had a delicious tuna steak. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and good, efficient service. Then we went to Rieu's. A fantastic evening in Maastricht.

Very pleasant and fast servers! The pizzas were very good and well-filled.

The pizza was amazing. I definitely recommend you try it.

We had a wonderful dinner tonight. It was busy due to André Rieu's performances, but despite that, we experienced excellent and fast service. The food was very good. The tenderloin was tender, and the pasta had just the right bite. The appetizer and dessert were also impeccable. The staff were friendly and helpful!

We ate here with four people on the night André Rieu was performing. It was very full, which meant a slightly longer wait. The service was otherwise very good and polite. We ordered the Pizza Diavola and the Gnocchi Scampi. The pizza was good, as expected—not exceptional, but good. The Gnocchi Scampi was the highlight. The sauce was delicious, the gnocchi was well-made, and the scampi were wonderful. I would definitely recommend it! For dessert, we had the Cuore al Pistacchio. It was very tasty, especially the chocolate sauce that gave it a lovely flavor. All in all, I would definitely eat here again, but only when André isn't around!

Fantastic food, no smoking on the patio, good and prompt service—what more could you ask for? Keep it up!

Altijd alles wij in Maastricht zijn gaan we hier eten. Super lekker eten en drinken.Personeel is altijd erg vriendelijke.

Price quality ratio is not good. Expensive food but pizza is cold quickly. Dough not baked well. Taste a bit bland.

Very nice experience in the heart of downtown / Maastricht, the pizzas were very good! The quality was there 🤩🥂

Delicious pizza. Nice atmosphere and reasonable

Excellent restaurant-pizzeria in the heart of Maastricht, for us Italians it is a certainty in terms of quality and flavors of our country, friendly staff and very nice place inside. I attach some photos to my review 🌟 Even being Saturday night we did not wait long for our dishes, it is advisable to book.

Cozy restaurant Celebrated a nice birthday! February 2022

Zeer goede service!! Heerlijke linguinevongolescampi gegeten gezellig vertoeven mooi interieur zeker een bezoekje waard ☺️

Very tasty pasta, enough choice for starters and desserts. Cosy dining. Tables close together. Otherwise, friendly service!!!

Wonderful Italian coziness, with great food!!

Totally not family friendly. We left the Restaurant before ordering, because they didnt want to seat us outside eventhough we made a reservation and they had a free table outside. Probably because we came with a Baby (We mentioned the baby in the Reservation). Inside the restaurant the AC was turned on so high, It wouldve been too cold for the baby, so we had to leave.

Very good pizza, excellent service, and a great location. It comes at a price, of course, but it's definitely worth it!

We went for dinner on the terrace, delicious foods! I love my pasta very much!!! Service is really fast and friendly. Cannot recommend more😍

Great place, I highly recommend it!

Best restaurant in the Netherlands and super nice waiters

Way too expensive for what you get. Very simple food, and the waiter told the table next to us that the tomato sauce here is not fresh. (The table next to us had 1 person allergic to tomatoes) Only order a main course, and you leave the table hungry. Also, you sit very close to each other outside, you can literally follow the entire conversation of the table next to you. For us, definitely not a second time.

Ate here for the first time after a night of shopping in Liège, pasta carbonara was not on the menu but was still made. This was the tastiest pasta carbonara I have ever had. The atmosphere was also very nice and pleasant. We will definitely go back here to eat well.

The food was delicious. Good quality. The service was great..friendly, good explanation, quiet and everything was done with care and attention. If I am near Maastricht, I will definitely come back

Fantastic experience, nice people and delicious food

Amazing food, margharita and tiramisu. Just a little bit expensive. Worth it.

A perfect establishment. The flavors are spot on, the pizzas are incredibly delicious. If you don't try the artichoke salad, you will miss out on a lot. The waiters are extremely attentive and polite. Thank you

Everything was great! The staff was attentive, the food was very tasty. Especially the pumpkin ravioli. By the way, not all items are on the menu, but if you ask if it is available, they can cook it for you. Overall, everything was delicious, we recommend it!!!

Zucchini friti and focaccia bread good. Spaghetti was a bit overcooked but tasted alright.

High quality food and professionalism. The pizza it was crazy goooooood 😮‍💨🤤

Perfect Italian restaurant, very good pizzas, prepared as it should be. Friendly team of young waiters but too bad they don't speak much Dutch, it went well.

Op vrijdag is het marktdag in Maastricht. Behoorlijk druk. Om te lunchen kun je best vroeg een plekje zoeken oftewel reserveren. Om 13.45 u was er voldoende plaats. Correcte bediening zonder meer. Beide pasta’s ( penne alla vodka, linguine alla vongole/scampi ) waren prima, zowel proportioneel als smaak. Dus een aanrader.

We were there for lunch and everything was great. Delicious pizza, excellent truffle pasta and a crisp salad. Service is also nice and the ambience inside is just great. We will definitely come back when we are in Maastricht again.

Yesterday, we had an excellent diner! Fresh made tortellini with pumpkin, hazelnut and cheese. Lovely red wine and a delicious dessert. One of our favourite restaurants 😀.

The food was very tasty and the service staff was very friendly! Definitely recommended

Bad management of the reservation. You have to hurry up and leave your place Not a nice moment.

We ordered house special pizza and pasta and it was great … Zucchini fritti was quite oily

After we met the owner on a terrace and had a pleasant conversation, we had dinner at Al Mercato the next day. What a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, beautiful interior and what friendly employees. Our pizzas were excellent and then tiramisu topped it all off. We will come here again next time we visit Maastricht.

Ottimo ristorante, proprietario con esperienze in italia e prodotti di alta qualità. Mai assaggiato un impasto pizza cosi buono.

Very good and well-served food, very friendly service, the space between the outside tables could be a little bigger, but overall I really liked it and would go back.

The food was delicious, especially the vodka pasta. The staff were attentive and seating was quite comfortable. It is a bit more on the expensive side, but worth it (especially when sharing with friends).

Festive get-together with 7 golfers Excellent food and service. Surprising flavors and nice ambiente Extensively enjoyed for 4 hours with zucchini godwit, carpacio di polpo, Francis di tonno, costolette agne, pizza tartufo, fine wines and more “passionate” chef💥 Absolutely recommended

Price-quality very poor. Beautiful decor. There is a completely different map online than in reality.

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten! Service is also very professional and friendly. I'd love to come back!

A great restaurant. The food was excellent, fresh and prepared with great attention to detail. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was very cozy and inviting. I'll definitely be back!

What a relief, a real Italian restaurant as it should be. Pizza had a delicious taste, crispy crust and the wine tasted good with it. Super friendly service, very attentive and very fast. Highly recommended!

Great pizza, great service, great ambience

good but don’t get pasta very small portion

We enjoyed an amazing dinner at your wonderful restaurant yesterday. I think I have to mention that the food was far better than the italian restaurants that I visited in Italy. Thank you for the experience!

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great, but everything is expensive. For reference

Nicely decorated restaurant and delicious food. Service was terrible on the other hand. We had to continuously (even for the first drink) signal ourselves to order and we waited 50 minutes for our food only to receive the wrong thing on the table. It actually felt annoying to order. There was no structure in the waitressing; no one knew what he was doing. Despite reservations, we were placed on a double table while there were three of us. Was very annoying. Too bad about the tasty food: it was really tasty

Good quality food, very professional and friendly service

Vriendelijke uitbater, ook zeker het personeel niet vergeten. Hele lekker pizza’s met buffelmozzerella. Ook de andere gerechten zijn altijd lekker.

By far the best place at the market of Maastricht. The service is amazing, always at its best to guarantee a great experience. Furthermore, their competences, especially in terms of language and wine knowledge is absolutely outstanding! The food is great, mastering the art of Italian cuisine: simplicity and deliciousness is at the heart of the restaurant. I highly recommend it, whether it is for some drinks or a nice diner.

I had a great time, the interior is really great! The music choices couldn't be better either! This low beats, soul, jazz music fits perfectly with the overall picture. The food and service were also at their best! Enjoyed a Vitello tonnato followed by a reasonable portion of Rigatoni and finished with a delicious Tiramisu.

The pizza and the meat and the pasta were amazing! Definitely coming back when we will be in Maastricht. Excellent!

Good reception, people listening customer, I got excited about this restaurant

Chic Italian, a bit of a wait. Unfortunately, the truffle risotto got cold very quickly. The portions could be a little larger for the prices.

Nice and attentive staff, and the food was served quickly and tasted very good!

Expedited service, you feel a little under pressure. Dishes not very copious for the price, but nevertheless very good. Cozy atmosphere but a shame not to be at ease

Great food and even better service!

Very friendly staff and delicious Italian food. Price/quality ratio is excellent. Highly recommended.

Delicious meal and very friendly waiters. One of the best Italians I have made in my life, I recommend ++

You can see that the ingredients are of quality, the food is very delicious. The waiters speak English and make you have a good time. Highly recommended!

Very nice staff and tasty pizza

Delicious food, very friendly staff, highly recommended!

Cosy and affordable Italian sharing restaurant. The prices are fair, the food one of a kind and the staff international and friendly. Would recommend!

The Service was really great and the Pizza as well. Unfortunately, the Truffle Risotto was not good at all prepared. I would not return back to the restaurant on my Next visit to Maastricht.

Great food, great service and Italian flair, everything a successful evening needs. Hospitality is practiced here and the food is of the highest standard. Very happy again!

The signature pizza for €21 was soft as a sandwich and mainly consisted of a lot of dough. The green salad with chicken for €23 was tasty but nothing special. Our dishes were not served at the same time, which is always a bit unpleasant when one person's plate is already half empty because otherwise it would get cold. I didn't think the price/quality was in balance and I expected more from the food based on the reviews.

De inrichting, muziek en servies zijn allemaal met aandacht gekozen wat al voor de juiste ambiance zorgt. Maar de pasta die we daar gegeten hebben was geweldig van smaak.

The best pizza i ever eated. All over the world.

Tout est parfait : la déco, l'ambiance, l'accueil, et la pizza! Prenez la pizza Al Mercato, elle est parfaite. Bon appétit !

It's sooo good, the best pizza in the world! Take the pizza Al mercato!!! You can't find better

Great atmosphere, excellent service and staff are very friendly. And the food was fantastic! I think it's the best pasta and calamari I've ever had. Tiramisu was also delicious. We will definitely come back here more often!
