Amazing food and service was perfect

Even for my low expectations it was a total mess. I ordered a pasta with sausage and mushrooms sauce, but it was poorly served with just a few pieces of mushrooms in it and no sausage at all. When I asked if it’s supposed to be like that - even before I asked my question I’ve been asked multiple times if I’d like to have my order remade which is very weird. I said no and I asked straight question - is it supposed to look like that or no. The guy said yes, but after some time he brought a small pane with extra sauce and apologised that it came so late. Then just before we finished main course they gave us a bread. Only because tiramisu was great I gave this place 1 out of 5. An extremely expensive beer and poor service makes my evening out with my wife wasted. Never come again.

Recommend taking a pizza here, it was delicious. The staff is friendly and welcoming 🥰

Meat with potatoes was something special, awesome

We were warmly welcomed by the team! Excellent service from Eleonora, kind and professional! The food was delicious and quick, I highly recommend the braised beef in Barbera!! :) I'll definitely be back! Thanks for the limoncello :)))

A truly great Italian restaurant. A rare good restaurant in Amsterdam. We came here on behalf of a friend, without a reservation. There were 12 of us, and the owner was able to get us a seat in his establishment in just 10 minutes. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is great and the desserts delicious! True Italian cuisine! See you soon 👍

Very tasty quick and nice service

The burrata was too dry and lacked richness. It was more like a dry mozzarella. The main course was too small for the price more like a starter. The bread was good and needed it in order not to leave hungry. Noisy place and feels cramped. Nice staff and quick service. Considering the price and quality, I cannot recommend this restaurant

Ordered bread n lasagna. Lasagna was bit too salty for me

An amazing italian restaurant. Encapsulates the simple genious italian food making. The service was warm and friendly. The atmosphere is so authentic and you feel embraced and welcome. Really warm recommendation from our visit!!!

Highly recommended! We were there in early October and had excellent pizzas, but the other dishes at the nearby tables looked equally appetizing. Special mention goes to all the staff, starting with the owner. They're Italians who welcomed us with the typical warmth of southern Italy. Thank you guys, we were happy to be your guests!

Great location in the heart of Amsterdam, and finally a restaurant with excellent food! Impeccable service, highly recommended.

Wonderful food, excellent service, friendly staff, highly recommend! Ensure to make reservations ahead!

Amazing vibrant restaurant. Great service and delicious food. Bruschetta was excellent. And pizza Devine.

I split the prosciutto pizza and bolognese with my wife and we absolutely loved both dishes! We also had the barbera wine and it was amazing. 10/10!

Everything amazing! Food and service!

A very very good mortadella, stracciatella and pistachio pizza!!

The best pizza and food in Amsterdam 🔥 I recommend trying the tiramisu. It will be the most divine dessert of your life. This isn't my first time here. And every time, everything is top-notch.

Simply excellent! Anyone who loves Italian food has to come here. The service is super friendly.

What can I say...we ate better than many places in Italy!! The owner is great, and everyone around him is great! Rating: 5 out of 5

The pasta was good, but the excellent service and beautiful decor really made the experience enjoyable.

AMAZING FOOD!!! Everything was good, from the main dish to the desert. The service was also exquisite. Lovely place, would definetely return.

The place is a bit small, so if you're looking to dine in, I recommend making a reservation. We had a pizza (mortadella, pistachio cream, and fior di latte) that was excellent. The chicken was tender, tasty, and well-cooked. The only downside was the wine. Recommended.

When a rating of 4.5 is clearly too low. Hard to beat, quite simply, a bunch of employees who are truly proud of what they do. With GOOD reason

Best Italian food I have tried so far in Amsterdam.. A must visit

The place offers amazing food with quality ingredients with great service. The place has a cosy ambiance.

Italian restaurants in Amsterdam are amazing and this one is no exception. Great service and presentation. Very cozy.

If you are in Amsterdam and hungry, wanna taste something very delicious definitely this is the place to go highly recommended and a special note for the staff they are so much friendly

This evening we had dinner at this restaurant-pizzeria run entirely by young Italians. To our pleasant surprise, we ate as if we were at home. Highly recommended, the pizza, as well as the tiramisu!!! If you want to feel at home, this place is highly recommended!

This place is run by two Italian guys. The pizza is truly delicious. It's a deep-sided pizza, but it's cooked to perfection (in an electric oven with a refractory brick surface). The ingredients used are excellent. The leavening is perfect. The result is a tasty yet light pizza, easy to digest. I hope the guys grow up quickly, so they can expand the place a bit.

Perfect, always! The food and staff are amazing, and the service is excellent.

The food was delicious and the location was beautiful.

Excellent food and pizza. We went two nights in a row and tried both the starters and the pizza.

You arrive and they have Italian music playing, a super welcoming entrance, and the food is simply spectacular 👌

An excellent dining experience at Demetra. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with a true Mediterranean touch. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, and the staff’s kindness made us and our daughter feel completely comfortable. A place we will happily return to and highly recommend.

Pizzas we're out if this world. Friendly staff too.

I had dinner at Demetra and absolutely loved it! Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, quick service and a very welcoming vibe. A true gem in Amsterdam!

I followed the glowing reviews left here and ate there as a couple. I had a BRASATO AL BARBERA & TARTUFO, which was very good. My wife had a pasta dish, which wasn't bad, but it was a portion more suitable for a child, and the meat in the sauce was sparse. I hesitated over which glass of wine to choose. The waitress gave me a taste of Valpolicella to help me decide; it was very good, so I chose it. A waiter arrived with a tiny pitcher of wine (not the bottle), which he poured into my glass, which only contained a little (for €10!!), and when I tasted it, it wasn't the same wine at all; it was a heavy, staining red. My wife and I were of the same opinion. Fortunately, I had it changed without any difficulty. The waiter told me he had prepared it himself. I'm willing to believe him, but he didn't get the right bottle. If you order wine there, ask for it to be poured into your glass in front of you! Once, but not twice.

Went there on 12th July Pasta noodle is all handmade - so super super fresh! We had the truffle ravioli and ragu pasta, absolutely delicious and satisfied our cravings !

We had dinner at Demetra this evening, and I can absolutely say it's the best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. The pizza was delicious, the kids loved the tagliatelle Bolognese, and we loved the ravioli and truffle risotto! Andrea was also incredibly kind and gave us excellent advice. We'll definitely be back!

Great. We ate there twice during our trip to Amsterdam. I had the risotto and the pizza piccantina, both delicious. Friendly staff, we'd be happy to go back anytime.

Perfect A real treat in a genuine Italian restaurant Nothing like the tourist spots on the city's main avenues Highly recommended

Great experience! We ordered pizza and found it very good. Thick crust, light dough, quality tomatoes, and mozzarella, not bad for Holland. Friendly staff and quick service. The desserts were also excellent. Highly recommended!

Simply brilliant! Excellent location, great atmosphere, and spotless. You feel immediately at ease. The staff is excellent, especially the Italian waitress, who contributes greatly to the authentic atmosphere. The food: extremely delicious! The pizza is one of the best I've ever had: crispy base, fresh ingredients, perfect flavor. The open kitchen is also a highlight: you can directly see how freshly everything is prepared, which builds trust and shows there's nothing to hide here. The value for money is truly excellent. Absolutely recommended, I'll definitely be back!

Excellent Italian restaurant near the center of Amsterdam. I recommend booking in advance as there aren't many seats. Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff.

Exceptional restaurant, very friendly staff, and delicious food. Recommended.

What a stew... every day And the pizza leveled up... Very good!

Very nice restaurant in the center of Amsterdam. The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent.

Great food! One of the most delicious Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. To have the best experience ensure that you make a reservation.

Proper Neapolitan pizza. Great service.

Delicious pizza and 100% Italian!! The staff were friendly and welcoming. Ferdinando and his staff were also fantastic. Thank you! :)

The people were really nice, and the food was excellent. The tiramisu is truly delicious and so big you could even share it. My father gave his meal an 8/10, which is unheard of for him. We even went there twice during our time in Amsterdam, so I can only recommend the restaurant. The waiters are super friendly, which makes the place even more pleasant. <3

I walked into this restaurant and was greeted with a “Welcome” by one of the waitresses. She even let us sit at a table without saying a word about any reservation. A few minutes later, another waiter came up to us and, without any apology or basic courtesy, told us “Sorry, you didn’t reserve — get up and leave.” Excuse me? Is this how you treat your guests? We were completely embarrassed in front of everyone, and no one bothered to explain or offer a solution. It was rude, unprofessional, and frankly disgusting behavior. If reservations are required, train your staff to inform people before seating them — not after humiliating them publicly. I would never come back here and I genuinely advise others to avoid this place if you expect basic respect and hospitality. Shameful.

A small pizzeria with excellent pizzas; the dough is very light and airy. The 'Budel' dishes are highly recommended. The service is very attentive, and the dessert and espresso are just as they should be. Advance reservations are recommended.

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The waiter was rude and unprofessional, making us feel completely unwelcome. At one point, their attitude was so careless, it felt like they didn’t care what they were serving. Because of this behavior, we simply stood up and left. I hope the management takes this seriously and works on improving their staff’s attitude and overall service.

Literally obsessed with this place. The pasta with burrata?? UNREAL. So creamy, so fresh—it felt like a hug from an Italian grandma I never had. The margherita pizza is simple but hits SO hard. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. Also… the staff?? Insanely sweet. They were so welcoming and kind, and they actually cared if we were enjoying the food. It made the whole vibe feel extra cozy. You know when a place has good food and good people?? Yeah, that’s this place. Definitely coming back. 10/10 would recommend if you’re craving pasta and good energy.

I had a very unpleasant experience here. When I asked the waiter if their beer was good, his response was disrespectful. Such an attitude is unacceptable in any restaurant. I cannot recommend this place.

This little place is so awesome!! We reserved our table 20 minutes before arriving and had the best experience. The place was busy and lively but we were helped instantly and the food came extremely quickly. This honestly was probably the best service I’ve ever had! The food was also delicious!!

Excellent pizza and friendly staff, I recommend it

Very cosy authentic Italian restaurant. Delicious but very small portions.

A small menu, great pizzas, all fresh, and friendly waiters—what more could you want? It's a small restaurant, so reservations are recommended.

Incredible restaurant! Super quality products, fantastic service, we had a great time as a family, the pizzas are delicious with a super airy dough! And what about the desserts, the tiramisu is stratospheric and the pistachio canolo has an impressively light ricotta cream!!! The decor is also all Italian, connoisseurs will not miss the signed Raspadori jersey! In short, a real trip to Italy this restaurant. I 100% approve

Friendly atmosphere Fresh dishes cooked to order For pasta lovers, this is a must-see.

Small but good wine list. Plenty of typical dishes. Very good tiramisu...

Very tasty pizza. The crust was very good, and the crust was super crispy and fluffy. The salad, however, was very meager. Aside from arugula, a few olives, and bread cubes, there was only a little Parmesan cheese.

Good pizza, small dishes like pasta. Friendly service. Very small shop.

Fabulous experience, highly recommended for Italians.

It is really good restaurant ! Good atmosphere of Italy, well food end staf is polite.

The perfect Italian in the Netherlands. Great service.

I am a picky eater and their pizza's are delicious.

Demetrs isn't just an Italian restaurant; it's an experience. If you're in Amsterdam and craving truly authentic, delicious Italian cuisine served with a generous helping of warmth, this is an absolute must-visit. Not to be missed, their authentic Neapolitan Pizza! Highly, highly recommended!

We ordered a margarita, it was very delicious and worth trying.

Best pizza in town and very nice Italian experience. And a lot of genuine Italian speaking custumors 👍🏼

If you're searching for an authentic Italian restaurant then look no further, this little gem makes up for its little place with the food that they offer. Everything was spot on! From the bruschetta to the risotto and last but definitely not least the mortadella pizza. By far the best pizza we've ever had (and we've had quite some good pizzas). The staff is super friendly and helpful just to be the cherry on top.

nothing special. small close place and doest worth to waste time ın holiday.

Amazing pizza. Easily one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. Do not miss out, call ahead for reservations. We got extremely lucky to get a table on a whim.. thank god for that! The bolognese was incredible as well!

Really nice place.The pizza was perfect and the tiramisu as well!Highly recommending for everyone!

Little hidden gem within Amsterdam city Centre

It was perfect! We had a blast!

This was a recommendation from someone and it was perfection. Easy to make a reservation online. Quick seating upon arrival and excellent food. Felt like we were eating in Italy. Friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommend. #chefkiss

Nice Italian restaurant, fresh and high quality food. Nice and helpful staff. Restaurant suitable for a quick dinner.

This place is a true GEM. Everything is delicious.

Delicious, authentic Italian dishes and friendly staff. Reservation recommended.

The real taste of Italian cuisine in the center of Amsterdam...excellent pizzas, pasta like in Italy, the Piedmontese Nebiolo that accompanies it is excellent. “Unstructured” canoli are essential and retain the crunch of the dough; the ristretto and the sambucca to "digest" (sic!) and off to bed: trams 4 and 14 are 20 meters away: the best! (PS the cook is certainly a real Italian to make this competitive pizza dough and cook al dente like that!). Thank you for this moment!

Best pizza I've had in a long time and very nice staff! Only visited by Italians, that has to say something xD

We only ate pizza but the pizzas were amazing. The service was also very good. The ambience was quite okay. The food was great, especially the pizzas.

Great service and very, very tasty pizza!

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience at your restaurant. I ordered a tiramisu to go, and I was charged 12 euros for what turned out to be barely three spoonfuls,an absolutely ridiculous portion for that price. What’s worse is that I’ve had the same tiramisu on site before, and the portion was much more generous. This feels like a blatant rip-off. Just because I took it to go doesn’t mean you can reduce the quantity to something that barely qualifies as a sample. Charging full price for a fraction of the usual portion is completely unacceptable and dishonest. You’re essentially scamming your customers and that’s not something I take lightly. I won’t be returning, and I won’t recommend your establishment to anyone unless this is addressed.

A great Italian restaurant, where you can get, for example, the best pizzas in Amsterdam. 😍👍 Also many other good dishes and desserts Tiramisu, really good. A small idyllic restaurant, it is worth making a table reservation. The only minus is that the tables are close together, so the noise of speech is quite loud, so you can't hear the conversations of your own table group.

Small restaurant with super tasty and fresh pizzas. Service was very friendly.

Loved the food, and the Italian employees. The atmosphere was exactly the same of an Italian restaurant in its home country. Both pizza and other courses were amazing.

Magherita and lasagna were good.

I ate very well, I wouldn't have thought I'd find such good Italian food abroad! The very kind owner makes you feel at home! Beautiful discovery

Best Italian food I’ve ever had — better than in Italy itself. Absolute flavor explosion, 10/10, must-visit in Amsterdam.

Best pizza in a long time, maybe ever!

SCAM! Very easy dishes with no taste, no ingredients and cold. They delivered us orders all together, pizza had almost nothing on top and both pasta was hard and cold.. they also pushed us to leave fast.. very sad! Much better Italian restaurants in Amsterdam, don’t go here!

I had such a great time here! The pizzas were super tasty, the staff was really friendly, and the service was spot on. They take reservations, so definitely book ahead — it gets pretty packed. But honestly, it’s totally worth it 🥰

Cute little Italian restaurant tucked away in a little ally. The pizza was fantastic. I had the margarita pizza with the buffalo cheese. So good!!

We loved the dinner and the service. Highly recommended!

This was our first dinner in Amsterdam and we are so glad it was recommended to us :) would come back over and over again
