A beautiful Italian dining experience that was truly worth discovering. 🤍🇮🇹 We started with the scallops and octopus, both beautifully presented and wonderfully executed. The scallops were delicate and flavorful, while the octopus was tender, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. For the main course, the fillet steak was simply excellent — beautifully cooked, wonderfully tender, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with a lovely balance between elegance and comfort. A charming place for anyone looking for a refined yet relaxed Italian meal. Everything we had was delightful, and I would genuinely recommend stopping by if you are in the area. A memorable meal and definitely a place I would be happy to return to. ✨ ❤️❤️❤️ 🇮🇹🥂 One small consideration is that the restaurant is located right next to a bar. If you choose to sit near the entrance, you may occasionally be disturbed by cigarette smoke coming from outside, which can be a little unpleasant during the meal. That said, the food itself was truly enjoyable and still made the visit worthwhile. 🤍

My only complaint is that the menu and prices aren't displayed. Thinking we were going to an ordinary Italian restaurant, we ended up in a gourmet establishment. The bill was steep. Without ordering wine or dessert, we paid almost €120 for two people, including a starter and main course. A glass of wine was €9, and water was extra. We only ordered water. Otherwise, it was very good.

I had the pleasure of dining at Gio Cucina Italiana and I can say it was an exceptional experience. Despite the restaurant being packed, service was incredibly fast, and the staff, with great kindness and professionalism, managed to find us a table. The welcome was warm, and we immediately felt at home. Each dish was carefully presented, explaining every single ingredient and conveying all the passion behind the cuisine. Chef Giorgia is simply wonderful, and together with her fantastic, knowledgeable, and attentive staff, she makes every moment special. The wine selection is also excellent, with perfectly recommended pairings. The portions are generous and the flavors authentic: an explosion of flavor that rediscovers the true pleasure of good food and brings your taste buds back to life. What can I say... Italy is everything: Gio Cucina Italiana is all about! I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone seeking quality, passion, and an impeccable welcome.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Amsterdam, without a doubt! The quality of the food is exceptional, and the value is truly incredible. It's one of the few places where I'd happily pay any price and any dish, because every course is worth every penny. Even the simplest preparation manages to surprise you: the flavors are intense, balanced, and literally explode in your mouth. The staff is incredible, always smiling, knowledgeable, attentive to every detail, and capable of making you feel at home from the first moment. The hospitality, professionalism, and passion they put into their work truly make the difference. A place I recommend to anyone who wants to savor authentic Italian cuisine in Amsterdam.

If I had to recommend just one restaurant in Amsterdam, I'd choose this one without a doubt. It's one of my favorite places and, in my opinion, offers the best value in the city. Every dish, even the simplest, is prepared with incredible care and literally bursts with flavor. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion behind every course. The service is also excellent: the waiters are always smiling, knowledgeable, organized, fast, and extremely efficient. They make you feel welcomed from the first to the last minute and help make the experience even more enjoyable. A restaurant that never disappoints and one I always return to with pleasure. If you're in Amsterdam, it's definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

What a disappointment. We arrived at 10:00 pm with my wife and two daughters, looking forward to dinner — Google clearly lists closing time as 10:30 pm. We were met at the door by a staff member who, without a hint of warmth, told us they were full. Fair enough — we offered to wait for a table. The answer? "The kitchen closed at 10:00 pm." So half an hour before the advertised closing time, we were simply sent away. It's embarrassing to stand at a restaurant's door with your family and be treated like an inconvenience. If your kitchen closes at 10:00 pm, have the honesty to update your hours on Google — other families deserve to know before making the trip. A restaurant is measured not just by its food, but by how it treats people. On that count: zero. We won't be back, and we don't recommend it.

The octopus and tuna are very nice. Perfect cooking time. The monk fish texture is also perfect but the tomatoes sauce is too sour. The staff are very polite. But because only two of them were serving the customers. So we had been waiting for table even we booked, we also needed to wait for order, the food and the bill. So it was a long wait for everything.

What a wonderful evening I had here. The atmosphere in the place is incredibly cozy, partly due to the impressive wine wall that immediately gives the space a warm and distinctive feel. It is the perfect place to unwind for a moment in the city center. The food was truly fantastic, and the presentation on the plates was meticulously taken care of.

For our final night in Amsterdam, we headed to a fancy Italian restaurant we’d found on Google Maps. We’d actually been turned away earlier in the trip because they were fully booked, so we made sure to set a reservation. To our shock, when we arrived, they couldn't find our booking! Thankfully, the waiter was very kind and found us a table with a 90-minute limit. The food presentation was absolutely stunning—the octopus was our favorite; it was incredibly tender and the homemade sauce was heavenly. While my ink pasta was a bit too salty for my liking, my husband and daughter loved theirs, even if the portions were a little on the small side.

The service was attentive, and the waitstaff was professional and well dressed. The bread with olive oil was delicious, and the Pinot Noir was good, although the pour was disappointingly small. Unfortunately, the experience had several downsides. We were seated right next to the door, which wasn’t ideal, our appetizer order was incorrect, and both the bread and entrees took a long time to arrive despite the restaurant being small. My tequila seltzer with pineapple tasted completely off, almost like it had Tabasco in it. To top it off, the meal portions were very small for the price. Overall, there were some bright spots, but the slow service, mistakes, and portion sizes made it hard to justify returning

A good place, but I ordered pasta with truffle and meat; there was absolutely no truffle flavor, and the ricotta and pistachio scone was really underwhelming—the ricotta flavor was too strong.

An exceptional gastronomic and human experience in Amsterdam Dining here was not just a great meal, it was the absolute highlight of our trip—so much so that we decided to return two nights in a row. The kitchen displays outstanding technical mastery. The octopus is, without exaggeration, the best I have ever eaten in my life: perfectly cooked with the exact right texture, and elevated by an extraordinary sauce that showcases a great complexity of flavor. We also tried the scallops, the tenderloin beef, and the tuna; every cut and seafood element was impeccably executed, respecting the fresh produce and achieving distinctive, subtle, and memorable flavor profiles. However, what elevates this restaurant to a superior level is its extraordinary team. Mariam (from Canary Islands), Giuseppe, and Daniel (from Italy) provided us with flawless service. Their closeness, impeccable courtesy, and warm smiles made us feel not like clients, but like close relatives coming back home. That human warmth, combined with culinary excellence, is a rare gem that must be celebrated. We will return without hesitation. Thank you for two unforgettable nights!

The food at the restaurant was pretty good; we had pizza, pasta, and salad. The portions, especially the pizzas, were large: even a medium pizza shared between two people will leave you both full. However, the pizza toppings weren’t particularly interesting or sophisticated, so none of the pizzas had a rich or distinctive flavor. Most of them were combinations of mushrooms, cheese, tomatoes, ham, and salami. Still, for the price and the location, that’s forgivable. The dough itself, actually, was crispy and delicious. The fettuccine was good and came with plenty of sauce. The Caesar salad was decent, but I’d recommend going for the pizza instead. The interior is nice and cozy, but mainly on the second floor. The downstairs area feels dark and poorly ventilated. The bathroom, however, was extremely dirty. Overall, though, I can recommend the place.

We came on our first day in Amsterdam. It was full. I asked the waiter if we can wait outside and he mentioned I don't think anyone will leave soon. So we left. Next day we were there by 5:30. The same waiter asked if we had reservation though the place was empty. I replied no. I went to sit directly as he did not mention on the previous day that reservation was required. He refused to allow us to sit on a certain table and mentioned it was reserved so we sat on another one. The bad thing is that he whispered to his colleagues with something infornt of us as if we can't see him. After this ill manner, another waiter Guiseppe came and thigs went normal. Food was great. The first waiter came back again with the last dish without uttering a word put the food on the table and left. I am sure he needs training as how to treat people. His discriminatory manner was obvious and rude. Still I have to mention that food was outstanding.

My full honest review: The restaurant is always full, even on a random weekday, plan and book ahead 1-2 days, if on weekend or holidays: minimum 3 days. I booked at 6pm, arrived 6:20pm, they were ok and still welcomed me. It took 15-20 more minutes for me to get a menu, and the bread they brought was soggy, soft, which is disappointing. When I first looked at the menu, I was surprised of how affordable the restaurant is despite the fame (ranging from €10-35/dish). As others said, the octopus for starter is a must. It is fresh, you don’t smell the “fishy”, even with the squid ink sauce. It was seared to perfection, outside is crunchy like chicken skin, inside soft and tender. Walking into the main dish, I got the prawns, they were fresh and ok-ish, nothing too special. For the price of €28, I’m not complaining. Overall, great experience, very cheap compared to my other dining experiences. A-must-to-try once, but I don’t know if it’s worth the wait to come back. The restaurant deserves a 5-star. Extra: They gave me 15% discount for the Prawns, which I appreciate, however, charging for this bread is a crime, it’s really bad bread, b.s. Nevertheless, moah, the Cannolo for dessert was so good that it made up for the bread.

Disappointed by our dining experience here. Planned on having mains and desert and wine. Both adults had Beef tenderloins - medium order cooked to rear for one of the steaks. Barolo sauce tasted really flat and meat was under seasoned. Bread is advertised as served with oil and balsamic but we had to ask for the balsamic it wasn’t forthcoming. Pinot noir was quite acidic and unpleasant and very tiny pour for a glass serving. Pasta amatricana was tasty but guanciale quite rubbery and not rendered down. The side of duchess potatoes was laughable as it is in fact sliced baby potatoes with a tiny bit of parmesan on top. Was never offered another glass of wine so we decided against desert after a disappointing meal and I did express my disappointment over the steak. It comes with 3 little potatoe swirls and a pinch of cress and there isn’t an option for additional sides so doesn’t feel like it even attempts to be a balanced main course. We subsequently went and got some frites after leaving the restaurant and paying €127 for 3 mains and some bread. Maybe an off day as I had booked based on a Friends recommendation.

We came last night for dinner, and if you are in Amsterdam as a Roman here in this restaurant you can eat truly Italian food, everything is good and the service is impeccable down to the smallest detail, 100% recommended

Gió Cucina Italiana is an Italian dream! The food is authentic and delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. It's a great spot for a delicious Italian night out. Their pasta and pizza are a must-try. Come back for more, because it's always delicious!

A fantastic location, discovered during a business trip to Amsterdam. Impeccable service, with a level of customer service truly worthy of someone who loves the restaurant business. Benedetta, in particular, the restaurant's true champion, immediately immersed us in the intimate and convivial atmosphere, suggesting a noteworthy off-menu item (pappardelle with beef ragù and truffle) and an excellent primitivo. The appetizers are meticulously crafted, from burrata to octopus. For those seeking authentic Italian cuisine, suitable for both intimate evenings and business meetings, Gió is undoubtedly the place to go in Amsterdam. Reservations are highly recommended.

As a person who eats pasta and Italian dishes all the time, I can say, without hesitation, that this was the best Italian food that I have ever had. I ordered the asticce (lobster pasta) and it was absolutely divine. The ambiance in the locale is truly amazing and the staff (Jerry, Andrea, Benedetta, Maria, Giada and Emanuele) were super friendly and polite, we were served limoncello and drank together with them (since we stayed until closing time). I have visited here from Sweden together with my husband and son, and they both adored their dishes just as much as I did. Overall, this is THE number 1 choice for anyone who is looking for a great Italian cuisine within the heart of Amsterdam, and I would absolutely recommend this any tourists and dutch alike. This is a true gem! 10/10, extraordinarily good🇮🇹🇳🇱❤️🔥

Tucked away on a small street near the central train station lies a hidden gem, much loved by visitors: Fine Italian cuisine of exceptional quality, flavorful and imaginative; excellent wines; attentive, multilingual, and impeccable service; and reasonable prices. The antithesis of tourist traps, with the added bonus of a warm welcome from professional staff who truly know their craft!

A charming restaurant in one of the most refined areas of central Amsterdam. The chef is 100% Italian. Modern cuisine uses local ingredients with an Italian flair and style. To start, they serve bread baked in-house using 20-year-old sourdough, Gaeta olives, and chickpea hummus. For my appetizer, I ordered an off-the-menu item of the day: a shortcrust pastry shell filled with scallops and calamari, topped with a delicious sauce. For my first course, I had linguine with seafood pesto, mussels, and clams. My second course was a wild sea bass fillet with potatoes, cavolo nero, and endive. For dessert, a crispy cream puff with pistachios. Everything was absolutely delicious. Friendly, Italian-speaking staff. Reasonable prices. Wide wine selection.

The reservation was canceled a few hours in advance without reason. The second reservation was canceled again. They were unreachable by phone and didn't respond to emails. It's a shame, the reviews were promising.

This is our favorite pasta place. We have not come across any other restaurant where pasta itself is so fresh and reminds us of some of the best culinary experiences we had in Rome. Only a pity that they don’t do classics anymore except for at lunch in weekends 🥲 we miss the Cacio e pepe —the authentic one can only be found here in Amsterdam. Apart from good primi piatti, pasta and desert, Pastai offers quality matching wines and the service is very good. We always feel warmly welcomed and bring friends and family whenever we can. Looking forward to seeing you soon again Bella!
