Ciao Bella Amsterdam in Grachtengordel-Zuid

We found this place in Amsterdam and were amazed by the hospitality and quality of the food! Homemade Italian food!! Highly recommend!

Super fresh pasta, loved it. Simple but delicious!

Amazing food for a good price. Served hot with smiles. You can even eat next to the river at the Bouwman cafe if you ask kindly and have your drinks there.

The ravioli didn't have much flavor, luckily there was a sauce. The biggest problem was the portion size. It wasn't good value for money.

Delicious tiramisu at this nice Italian caterer.

Nice food friendly stuff and italian atmosphere. but charging 3 euro additional for parmeesan cheese is a big MINUS!

Staff are very friendly and the food was perfect definitely recommend

Excellent food!! Superb, friendly service! It's worth it 🥰

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, and attentive service! The desserts are a delight!

Lovely Italian food, quite a few vegy options. Nice red wine

Best value for money spot in the heart of Amsterdam. I’ve lived here for 6 years and it’s the real deal.

We are thrilled. The food (pasta, lasagna, panini) is simply "WOW"! The food tastes fantastic, the location is superb... and the espresso is a true Borbone! We will definitely come back and eat here again!

Stunning food!! All the 4 pasta dishes we had were amazing.

One of the best authentic meals I’ve had. So yummy and fresh. Also tried meatballs and caprese salad.

Had a really nice clean meal, in a great outdoor space. Highly recommend.

Lovely cozy place! The host is amazing and served excellent food!

The best meal On the hottest day in Amsterdam!! We have had Italian food in 6 European countries this trip and my teens declared this the “best meal yet!” We had to order a second round of meatballs as they were gone too fast!! Adorable spot, wonderful service!!

Best pasta ever. Never had such a creamy sauce. U should go.

I think this one is new. Never seen it before. Can def recommend for a simple and tasty lunch!

We've been eating there two days in a row and it's been fantastic! Both the service and the food are highly recommended.

Good food and a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere.

I had the pollo panini and it was so delicious would come back again!

Very nice people, nice food. A Little feeling of italy in Amsterdam

The fresh ravioli with cheese was soooo amazing filling creamy and just delicious!

Great place ! The food was so good and fresh. I was very sceptical of dinning here but what a surprise ! Highly recommends

Everything was excelent. Adam the waiter was amazing!

Idyllic and cozy spot by the canal, we loved it! The meatballs were the best we've ever had 🫰

I live in Canada and think of their delicious lasagna often. Amazing food and the staff were lovely. Hope to visit again soon!

Great food. Great service, great family environment..

Very nice little place with very tasty sandwiches. The decor, food, and music were all great! It wasn't too expensive either, and the staff was very friendly and open.

Tasty and cosy, as usual! Thanks for excellent and not overpriced Italian food in Amsterdam

Gorgeous little Italian, great food and service. Highly recommend 😊

The lady ( I assume the owner) didn’t let me even finish explaining my order, she thought that it was my time in an Italian quick eatery, I end up not ordering the panini. So I decided to have cannoli, wasn’t GOOD, the shell wasn’t crunchy at all.

A very small Italian restaurant with limited seating, run entirely by Dutch women. I ordered two dishes because after three days in Amsterdam, I was craving pasta. I took advantage of the location, right next to the hotel where we were staying. The pasta with tomato sauce wasn't the best, but you know, we're not in Italy. The pasta with creamy porcini mushrooms, however, was truly delicious, excellent.

It was very delicious! Really good service, and the pasta is a masterpiece 😍😍😍

Lovely place, would recommend to anyone ❤️

10/10 place definitely a go to and all the staff is so sweet

The food was good, although the pasta was not freshly made, the noodles were precooked and only reheated and it was also very expensive for only a tiny portion. We left the table hungry.

Solo dinner with wonderful views of the canal. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked! I also had polpette and focaccia and it was also so good! Service was friendly! I will be back!

What a find! Fresh authentic and utterly delicious pasta with really friendly people. Loved it! X

Veryy nice food and coffie, and the people working there nice and polite! It is a 10/10 from me !

Amazing delicious food and great service too, small family business, hand made pasta and more. I had the Cannelloni and it was amazing. Rich with sauce yet balance perfectly. Definitely recommend!!

Tried to make a reservation online but never received a confirmation.... Then Pata Negra delighted us with our visit ❤️

Nice store with a cozy restaurant area. Good food and friendly service.

Amazing service and the environment is very cozy. The lasagna is a very great dish for anyone wanting to try it!

Amazing food, really lovely staff, and fab service! My friends and I felt that this place lived up to the positive reviews ☺️

The woman who served us was incredibly friendly and offered vegan options as well. Highly recommended and very reasonably priced.

What can I say... if you're Italian and want to eat well, stop by! Takeout is also available. The girls are very welcoming!

I love Ciao Bella! They have great food and the staff is lovely ;)🤩❤️

Delicious food. Everything was simply fantastic.

And the best tomato sauce is that the pasta is fresh.

Unfortunately, the food was disappointing, as it lacked flavor. The portions were also far too small. We ordered two pasta sauces – one with mushrooms and one with Parmesan – but both tasted very similar, as they were barely seasoned and the cheese flavor was barely noticeable. Overall, we felt the food was not good value for money.

stable food quality, service with a smile

I had lunch at Ciao Bella for the second time yesterday. Delicious, generously filled paninis with beautiful homemade ingredients and fresh pasta. I'll definitely be back!

Excellent Italian meal and friendly service. Cozy, homemade vibes. Loved it ! Arancini, lasagne, legumes x

It looks like a deli, but it actually has a few tables for dine-in. It saved our New Year's Eve dinner, and we ate well, and the ingredients are truly Italian.

The food is great and tastes homemade in the best way possible (probably, one of the best Italian places in Amsterdam)! The place is also very cozy and warm.

We spontaneously decided to visit this restaurant in the afternoon. The blend of classic Italian cuisine with French flair and charm intrigued us. The service was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting and cozy. The pasta was delicious and freshly prepared. Absolutely scrumptious! For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which was also excellent. It's served in small plastic dessert dishes – convenient for takeaway, but a shame for dining in. The espresso was also good. All in all, a very good experience.

Food aside, I’m giving 1 star because this restaurant regularly places its sign so that it blocks most of the pavement at a narrow spot (rest of pavement being already occupied by their tables and chairs). I’ve repeatedly seen people with strollers and older people forced into the road traffic because of it. Your visibility shouldn’t come at the expense of pedestrian safety.

Very nice restaurant and very friendly staff, excellent food 👌🏻

Great food. Great vibes. Sweet girls working. Definitely recommend

Amazing fresh pasta for such a reasonable price

Nice and simple and very good Italian food

We ate homemade pasta here (vegetarian). It was delicious! However, it's not a cozy restaurant. So it depends on what you're looking for. The food was excellent, and the staff were really friendly, so the ambiance wasn't so important.

We had a wonderful lunch here, what a beautiful place and good food, everything was perfect!!

Delicious!!! Lovely staff. Relaxed vibe :)

I had a great experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and truly well prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I highly recommend it — definitely deserving of five stars.

UAU amazing experience Very welcoming place, the food is great, the staff are friendly, attentive and professional.

Absolutely top-notch, I highly recommend it.

The place is very good and the food is top-notch.

Good service, good food, I recommend it.

The place is amazing and the service is excellent!!!

Great food and great staff #be'79

Great atmosphere and customer service. And the food was even better! The Tagliatelle to Crema di Funghi was divine!!!

A small, very cozy Italian restaurant/deli. There's very limited seating, so it's best to make a reservation! They offer a wide variety of homemade pasta dishes with several sauces. For starters, we had burrata on a bed of arugula with homemade focaccia, followed by rigatoni with mushroom sauce and gnocchi with Parmesan sauce. Simple but comforting and high-quality. It was delicious!

I can’t believe how amazing the food is! ♥️ Analucia cooks everything herself with so much love and passion. Every bite feels special, you can truly taste the care behind every dish. I definitely recommend this place! 🤌🏻 And of course, the lasagna! 😄 It’s a hidden gem in Amsterdam! 💎 Update: I’m already in Bali! Obrigada

Very nice little Restaurant. Superb hand made food with love!

I'm so glad we decided to try this place, the pasta was so fresh and very tasty. We also had the bruschetta and roast vegetables which were both also very good. The staff here were very helpful and you can tell there is a genuine love for the food they make. 10/10

We had a great dinner for our last night in Amsterdam. The ingredients were fresh and the pasta was amazing. It was hand made and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend

lovely place and so welcoming !! food is delicious

Nice little place that looks onto the canal. Me and my friend had the the bolognese which tasted fresh. Such a nice vibe, really enjoyed the food and would go back!

It has a very stuffy atmosphere with huge chairs, the beef burger is good but not bad.

Bad food, we asked for a pasta with pomodoro sauce, the pasta was good but the sauce it tasted the same as the one you can buy for cheap in the supermarket, the sauce was not hand made at all. We also asked for meatballs that tasted okay, which came with 4 meatballs. They heat up the food in the microwave and they don't want to give you tap water, forcing you to buy bottled water.

We went there twice for lunch and received very friendly service. The food came quickly and was delicious. So anyone who happens to be passing through should definitely eat here.

Wonderful service, delicious food. Everything was fantastic!!!

Not clean. I was looking forward to my meal here and was so upset by the server's/cook's cleanliness. She was wearing a black glove on her one hand and didn't change it once, even after touching her nose, phone, menus, pen, card machine, literally everything. She would have had so many germs on her hand/glove and she used this same hand to put our pasta in the water and pick the basil leaves off the plant and put it on our pasta. The manager/owner needs to be at the restaurant monitoring this. We totally lost our appetite after watching this. 🙁

Best pasta of my life its just not even close. The rigatoni has genuinely made me consider moving to Amsterdam. Seriously, do not miss this spot.

Absolutely loves this Italian restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious especially for the reasonable price. I enjoyed the cotoletta fungi. And I’ll be sure to stop by Ciao Bella anytime I come to visit Amsterdam.

Ciao Bella is a delicatessen that makes you feel like you're in Italy. From warm sandwiches to fresh pasta: everything is delicious, fresh, and carefully prepared. The location on Prinsengracht is the perfect finishing touch – perfect for a quick lunch or to grab a bite to eat. What surprises me is that this place doesn't have a 5-star rating. If you look at the negative reviews, you'll see they mostly focus on how things used to be here, including the owners. Ciao Bella has since been completely renovated and is truly worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Walked into store to order takeaway from Ciao Bella. Ordered Rigatoni Bolognese and Spinach/Ricotta Ravioli cooked fresh with crema funghi sauce. Both delicious meals and the ravioli was fantastic freshly cooked. We got the little mini cannolis in lemon, pistachio and chocolate and they were also very nice - not too sweet!

Lunch on the terrace with fresh, quality products.

Short staffed but still great to sit down and eat tasty fresh pasta☆

Amazing food and service! My husband and I went for a quick lunch and tried the pasta Bolognese — it was absolutely delicious, freshly made, and served very quickly. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine and had a lovely coffee afterward. The cannolis were the best I’ve ever had! Thank you, Ana, for the wonderful food. We hope to visit again soon!

Little lunch break between museums. Decided to have some pasta, and what an amazing place. Even though the gnocchi was out of stock, Ana recommended going for the tagliatelle. Just perfection. Everything tasted homemade and right.

Delicious! The best gnocchi in my life

My go-to weekday lunch place in Amsterdam! Perfect panini’s and the bread is so so good! Consistently delicious food

Dinner at Ciao Bella before our boat tour: The Melanzane alla Parmigiana tasted really good, but at 15 euros it was quite expensive for the portion size. The wine was less convincing - unfortunately of poor quality - and the water was served carelessly in a plastic bottle. Another negative point: 4 euros were charged for four small slices of baguette, which seems a bit excessive. The atmosphere also suffered from the fact that there were cleaning supplies everywhere. What should be highlighted positively, however, is the friendly staff who tried to make the stay pleasant. Conclusion: The culinary aspects are partly convincing, but the price-performance ratio and ambience clearly leave room for improvement.

We had a quick meal here before our theater performance. Recommended if you just want tasty, good Italian food.

Small place with 4 tables inside. It has takeout. The food is very delicious, very good Bolognese pasta, good wine and fantastic desserts. Also very good attention. It is a small thing, but a very good restaurant to eat delicious pasta at a good price and continue enjoying the city. It costs about €20-25 per person without wine.

Utrolig god mat. Jeg skulle gjerne dratt tilbake her og prøvd flere retter. Alt så veldig fristende ut. Jeg spiste en pannini (eller lignende) med kjøttboller. Det ble ikke en smule igjen. Hadde også en cappuccino som smakte fortreffelig. Også super service hos de to damene som jobbet der.
