When we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty, yet we were asked for a reservation. Throughout our entire visit, the restaurant was never even half full, yet we were seated right at the front, near the exit. As a result, I was cold the whole time. Initially, the waitress came by far too frequently for my liking, and later not at all. After waiting half an hour (which is far too long for two simple dishes in an empty restaurant), a waiter arrived with the wrong dishes (including a baked eggplant). After another 15 minutes, when I finally reached the waitress, I asked why it was taking so long. She said it was her mistake and the food would arrive in two minutes. Another 10 minutes passed, and the food still hadn't arrived. When it finally did, they offered us something on the house, which we declined because we simply wanted exactly what we had ordered, nothing more and nothing less. Despite our repeated refusal, the waiter presented us with the eggplant that had been mistakenly prepared earlier. He didn't even ask what we liked or what we wanted to eat; he simply left it there and walked away. I ordered Pasta Cacio e Pepe, which is simply pasta with Parmesan and pepper. €24 seems excessive to me. As we were clearing the table, the waiter asked if we wanted to take it with us, which we declined. A bill of over €100 for a bad experience. Average food, poor service, we certainly won't be back. There are thousands of Italian restaurants that offer better food for a quarter of the price.

A very cozy little restaurant in Amsterdam. Some tables are quite close together, so there's sometimes a bit of space. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful, and he suggested good wine pairings with our meal! The food itself was delicious; I had the pasta gamberi. Unfortunately, it wasn't warm, but rather cold.

A very warm welcome. The owner, Dario, personally explained the options available due to my cow's milk allergy. The vitello tonnato and pasta with ragù and cingiale, respectively, were excellent. The ciabatta was also good, but it was charged separately. The bill was rather expensive. The restaurant is very small, and our table was cramped and a bit drafty. Nevertheless, we will return on our next visit to Ams.

This is a must visit Italian in De Pijp. The pasta is truly the best we’ve had anywhere. It’s a small and cosy restaurant. Reservations are mandatory. We all went with pasta dishes. The focaccia bread was deliciously light and crispy to go with the burrata salad. The Montepulciano wine was a perfect combination. Tiramisu to share finished a lovely meal after a cold and wet day in Amsterdam 🥶

Food was really good and really like the place. The service was really bad. After 30 minutes of waiting I had to ask a waiter to take my order, I wasn’t even asked is I wanted something to drink. I ordered a starter and a main and they came at the same time, so I did not need my starter anymore obviously. When I asked for oil it took 10 minutes and my food what’s turning cold. I’ve been here before and I had the same service. Overall, food is amazing. But the service needs to step up their game.

Super high price for very average food. Carbonara, ragu and parmigiana were lacking taste. They could not serve pizza on that night either which is what we came for. It wasn’t cozy nor comfortable. We were cramped in a corner with no space, I was leaning my back on a lady behind me. Service was fine but overall not a pleasant experience and therefore would not recommend.

The tattooed waiter is rude. From the moment you step inside, you feel rushed and hurried; you're not even allowed to look at the menu in peace. He aggressively takes away wine and water glasses. The pizza oven supposedly doesn't work, even though pizzas are served later in the evening? I read in several reviews that this is often mentioned; very disappointing! The waiter keeps coming to the table to take plates away even though you haven't finished eating. Half an hour before the time slot, he gruffly tells us to either order more or pay the bill. As three women, we didn't feel comfortable saying anything about it. There are plenty of other nice Italian restaurants in Amsterdam where you can eat well for less!

Was there yesterday, a Carletto pasta worth 32€ was not even having the base: the truffle freshly grinded on top -in front of me. The carpaccio was average, the meatballs were bad and harsh, the focaccia is not a focaccia, the bruschette were average too. There was no possibility to order pizzas. The wine was per glass 12 euros. Being italian, this in another fake and expensive place. The price was high, though. Not recommended.

Another great experience at Carletto! I went with a group of friends on Thursday night and the food was just as good as I remember from the first experience I had about a year ago. I don’t get a chance to get out to Amsterdam much but when I do this is my favourite place to eat. Between us we ordered a lot of starters, everyone ordered a pasta each and we got some pizzas to share. Everything was phenomenal. Such great flavour, super fresh and you really get that home made/ made with love feeling. The service was great and attentive, and we all had an amazing time. Wonderful cocktails too and probably the best limoncello we’ve had in a long time. Thank you Emilliano for the hospitality and we hope to come back again soon! Pro tip - over order because that truffle pizza is just as good for breakfast the next day haha! Best Italian food in NL in my opinion

Came in a few minutes after opening and walked in to an almost empty restaurant. Asked for a table for two. Were told that they were fully booked. Staff member did not even check or anything. I Checked the website earlier that afternoon, and there was availability for 5pm, so it's quite unlikely that they were fully booked. Very disappointed. Edit: walked into a different restaurant an hour later. They were PACKED to the brim. A waiter created a place for us at the bar. Now that's how it's done.

We were on a date and decided to try out Carletto together. The appetizer with the mushrooms were divine! But after a while we were quite dissapointed at the service. There was a waiter who took our order and made a mistake. He kept pushing and telling us that we ordered it. But I am definitely sure it wasn't what we ordered, because we discussed what to get upon arriving even pointing it out on the menu! So we got the wrong order and it ruined our experience at Carletto regretfully. Later on when we decided to leave the owner asked us what had happened, we explained the situation on how the order got messed up. And he was very nice and politely apologized for the experience we had for the evening. We discussed to come back another time to give it a second chance and had a wonderfull dinner!

Edit August 29, 2025: It's to the owner's credit that he contacted us by phone to understand what went wrong with the bill on August 28, 2025. As a gesture of appreciation, he refunded the amount we had to pay to resolve this matter. The owner certainly takes our feedback seriously. Edit August 28, 2025: We ate here again tonight at the owner's invitation. The food was good, and the woman who served us was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, things went wrong again at the end. We were charged the same amount as last time, and we were supposed to pay the extra. However, the manager had overcharged our bill by €60 (for items we hadn't ordered at all)! This was our last time. Edit July 7, 2025: The owner has since contacted us personally to apologize again and has invited us back for another try. This is certainly appreciated, and we will be back for dinner soon. A hectic evening you'd rather skip! On Wednesday evening, the three of us fancied dinner at Carletto in de Pijp, a cozy-looking Italian restaurant that seemed promising on paper. Unfortunately, the evening started off on a sour note: less than two minutes after we sat down, the waitstaff was already at our table to take our orders. We wanted to order a few appetizers, but sitting down to browse the main courses wasn't an option, as everything had to be ordered at once. We'd planned to share two different pasta dishes and a pizza. But to our surprise, we were told the pizza oven wasn't turned on. Strange, and disappointing. The appetizers arrived very quickly. And then, while some plates weren't even completely empty, the waitstaff tried to clear them without asking if we were finished. We had to intervene; it's not only rude to take food/plates away without asking if you're finished while others at the table are still eating, it's also incredibly unpleasant. The main courses also arrived too quickly after the starters. Everything felt so rushed, as if they wanted to get rid of their guests. I saw other tables getting annoyed by this, but no one said anything. The atmosphere was anything but welcoming. The staff started clearing everything away well before closing time, while we were still sitting at our table with a bottle of wine. When we tried to politely raise this with the manager, he initially tried to walk away. Only when we called him back because we hadn't finished talking did he return, saying this was "Italian service." In a city like Amsterdam, where you're competing with countless charming restaurants, that doesn't seem like a particularly smart strategy. The place was empty (working) at 9:30 PM, and at 10:05 PM we were asked to pay the bill. As a "make-up," we were given three limoncellos. And the biggest joke of the evening was that he arrived with a paper takeaway bag containing a plastic container of house tiramisu and three spoons. He said you can eat these outside, but you don't have to leave right away. Seriously?! As if we had to finish our evening on the street. As an extra gesture, a bottle of water was taken off the bill for €7.50, which is already a lot for a bottle of still water. But all these gestures felt very awkward and forced, like a band-aid on a wound that couldn't heal anymore. How dare you, as a manager, walk away during a conversation with customers who are trying to help you with constructive criticism?! And what about the pasta? It was good and tasty. But in the end, two of the three people had stomach aches that night! At Carletto, the motto seems to be: order quickly, eat quickly, and leave quickly so the place can close up again. We certainly won't be back, and I doubt the other customers around us will either. I also wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here, unless you're in a hurry, of course, or want to get a stomach ache.

Staff is phenomenal, not often experienced such a good service. Food is okay-ish. Don’t go with a group 10+ as they can’t keep up. Location is not, I feel they tried to put too much people in the limited space. If you have a table near the oven you will also be cooked when the evening ends.

We went thanks to the recommendation of the receptionist at Hotel Edén (my parents spoke to her). We arrived and were served by a fellow countryman from Spain, specifically Galicia. He treated us phenomenally at all times, as did the girl and boy who were with him. The only downside was that the air conditioning was broken in the middle of a heat wave, and we couldn't eat pizza, since if they turned on the oven, you couldn't stay in it. We struggled a bit in the heat, but it was bearable. We ended up choosing pasta, and in my case, I chose cacio e pepe. It was delicious. It reminded me of when I went to Trastevere in Rome last year, where I ate the same dish. The day I return to Amsterdam, I'll be back here. Please give the receptionist at Hotel Edén a shout for the recommendation ;). Big hugs from Llíria (Valencia), Spain.

We found this restaurant by chance while walking. It's located in a less crowded and well-known part of Amsterdam, a more residential but very beautiful area, just a couple of minutes' walk from our hotel. The food was divine; the owner is Italian, and the pasta is handmade by his grandmother. I recommend trying their girella alla norma and carletto (handmade pasta with truffle and a 24-month-old parmesan cream).

Well, to start with everything, my partner chose this place for a date since it was my first time in Amsterdam and I love Italian food :). The reception was really nice—they greeted us warmly and sent us off to our table with one of the waiters. We were sat next to the oven, which I wasn’t too keen on, but hey unique experience and atmosphere! The person serving us was trying to be friendly at the very beginning, but as time went on, they kept being rude and rather unfriendly. But well, anyone might have a bad day, right? Wrong. She was being rude only to us-picking up the dishes without asking and snatching them off the table. Personally, I wouldn’t have minded if it was just her doing her job, but this kind of behavior was only happening at our table, not the one next to us. (The other server with glasses and wavy hair was really kind and cool tho. just this one person didn’t like us, apparently.) As for the food, I ordered the bolognese and my partner the carbonara. Both tasted good—hot and tasty. The tiramisu? It tasted amazing, but the portion didn’t match the price. BUT given how good it was, you can kind of feel okay about paying 11€ for a teacup of tiramisu. Overall, the food was good. If I were to compare this restaurant to another high end restaurant, I’d say you can eat more there for the same cost BUT you should keep in mind that everything here is homemade. At least, according to the menu. Won’t visit again because of the bitter taste the waitress left in our mouth, but I do recommend trying the food.

My husband and I were honeymooning in Amsterdam and strolled into Carletto's by chance just wanting some pasta. While we were a bit underdressed, they sat us quickly and were kind in letting us know they needed the table in about an hour. Not a problem for us. When I tell you the food blew us away, I mean it. It was by far the best food we had our entire trip. So good, we almost came back a second night! We'd never had such fine Italian cuisine, if you're visiting or just a local do yourself a favor and stop by for a meal. I do recommend making a reservation or going early if you want a table, they fill up quick. Truly an experience we will never forget. Thank you Carletto's!

After a long day of walking, my father and I decided that you really can’t go wrong with Italian food—and we were so right. This might honestly be one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam. No joke, I lowkey want to gatekeep it because I want to come back and experience the exact same atmosphere again. But yeah… it’s just that good. The customer service was incredibly kind and helpful. I had so much fun and left feeling genuinely happy—my father even smiled multiple times, like okayyyy?? 🥹 The vibe, the food, the whole experience? Top-tier.

Wow — this was hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in a very long time. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by incredibly friendly and attentive staff who made the entire experience feel warm and genuine. The atmosphere is cozy yet stylish, with beautiful decor that adds to the charm of the place. Now, the food — absolutely amazing! The bruschetta was perfectly done, bursting with fresh flavors. The truffle purée was next level — rich, creamy, and unforgettable. The pizza? Super good — thin, crispy base with top-quality ingredients. Every single dish we tried was a hit. Everything about our visit was just perfect. Huge thank you to the team — we’ll definitely be coming back at our next visit.

Good ambiance and great service. But I've had better when it comes to Italian food, I didn't find anything exceptional. But the quality of the ingredients used were good.

Great Italian restaurant with lots of nice options in terms of side dishes. Interior also great! Pasta with ragu and 'Nduja was well seasoned (rosemary) but had little resemblance to 'Nduja, otherwise delicious freshly made pasta. In our opinion, the pasta with truffle had a slightly too flat taste due to the cream and could have had a sharper/deeper truffle flavor. Otherwise very satisfied and good quality!

To me Carletto is the perfect Italian restaurant. Great food, drinks, hospitality and ambiance. You can tell a lot of effort and attention to detail has been put into this place and the food. I've dined here for two times already and can't wait to come back.

Everything was amazing, gluten free pizza was the best I’ve ever had. No GF pasta unfortunately but well worth going for the pizza. Wine and desserts also on point!

First time we were here everything was perfect. The mixed versions of the bruschetta are unfortunatly not available anymore, but its still very good bruschetta. Amazing pizza and pasta’s with an open kitchen that adds to the overall atmopshere. Would recommend and revisit sometime soon.

I recently visited Carletto in Amsterdam, and I was absolutely blown away! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food was exceptional—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The highlight of my visit, though, was the amazing staff. Every single person was so friendly, professional, and attentive, making the entire dining experience even more memorable. A special shoutout to Ada—she was incredible! Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly made our visit unforgettable. If you're in Amsterdam, Carletto is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Great wine from Puglia. Starters, pasta and dessert were all great and definitely above average compared to other Italian restaurants. Especially the handmade pasta stood out and was delicious. Also the service staff was very attentive, quick and friendly. We had a perfect evening.

I’ve been coming to Carletto regularly for the past two years, and it never disappoints. I was there again yesterday and, as always, it was fantastic. The food is authentic, full of flavor, and made with real care. Emiliano, the owner, is a fantastic host who always makes sure everything is perfect — he truly goes above and beyond. You can feel the passion in every detail. Hands down the best Italian in Amsterdam!

We spontaneously decided to have an early dinner here and it was a great decision. We felt very welcome, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was good. We are hoping to take family for dinner when they come to visit. So I would recommend for a little date night or family dinner!

Great place to eat, we had a few starters to share which were delicious. The Diavolina pizza is really recommended but even more so is their tiramisu!🤩 only downside is that they have shifts of 2 hours because you want to stay there longer!

Best Pasta in town ! At Carletto, they only serve handmade and homemade pasta, and some other dishes like a wide array of starters, a few meat dishes and a few more different pizze. Anyway, the GIRELLA ALLA NORMA, is one long spinach ravioli, not cut into pieces, but served as a spiral on your plate. The ravioli are served with a filling of slow baked aubergine, which makes them extra aromatic and salty ricotta cheese, which is so comforting, together with a light tomato sauce and excellent fresh basil. This dish is such a surprise and delight, and so super tasty! It represents the epitome of Italian Cuisine where "less is not only more", but where with simple, yet high quality ingredients miracles for your tastebuds are created on the plate. Their Montepulciano was excellent too. Bravo e arrivederci !

- Super delicious food - The staff was friendly and service minded - Price aligned with the quality (a bit above average) The only missing point, it was a bit cold inside (we visited during winter time, it was -3c outside)

We have celebrated Valentine’s Day at Carletto. The food was delicious and the service very friendly. When we arrived we were first placed at a table which was a bit close to the entrance and since I am pregnant I asked if we can sit somewhere else because it was a bit cold for me. Fortunately we could switch to a quiet corner so it was fine. They had an alcohol free Prosecco for me which was served in a very full glass, this made me very happy. For starters we had a steak tartare and the burrata to start. The burrata had spicy oil on it which I did not expect but it was a nice twist. For the main they recommended us the ravioli, the surprise was that there were heart shaped ravioli which was very nice but it was a little too salty for my taste and could have had a bit more sauce to it. There were cooked perfectly al dente which I like. My boyfriend had the lasagna, it was very good and the cheese sauce on top was in abundance and delicious. For desert we had the cheesecake with Nutella which was very fluffy and light. Overall a good experience thank you!

Really good food, the service left a lot to be desired. Almost felt like the waitress forgot about us/did not care if we were looked after or not. Not what I expected at all

How incredibly disappointing when you look forward to a nice Italian dinner, walk up there for half an hour, and discover that the place is not there. Shut down your Google maps page!!!
