Gusto di Casto B.V. in Buitenveldert-West

My boyfriend and I are incredibly happy that we stopped here for lunch last Saturday. The sandwiches are 10/10; you can taste how fresh everything is, so you are willing to pay more because it is worth it. And the service is more than good and appropriate. We will be back very soon for another bottle of limoncello!

Male servant today (30 may 2026) was incredibly rude. We just wanted to get one chair from a free table so my mother could sit. He just refused. “We don’t do that. You can sit on the bench or go somewhere else”. We went to the french bistro 5 meters away and had a great time. I’d recommend the french bistro. Not this italian place with rude staff.

A very cozy place with friendly stuff and great food! Too bad we’ve only discovered this place recently, as we live nearby. They have Italian cooks, follow traditional recipes, and import ingredients from Italy - you can feel it in the taste! Also approved by my very picky Italian boyfriend :D We loved parmigiana and lasagna. The managers and staff are super friendly, you can see a lot of people coming there regularly for a nice chat and atmosphere. For sure it’s a gem!

This is a really nice, good Italian lunch and dinner spot. Delicious sandwiches with amazing fillings, salads, and hot and cold lunches. They also have a display case where you can take delicious dishes home. But a cup of coffee tastes even better there! The staff is friendly too, by the way!

It is a nice place to go for lunch, just good food.

Nice restaurant and lovely service.

Delicious sandwiches, but truly authentic and artisanal. Had a fantastic meal and the staff also helped me well with a dish that wasn't on the menu. Compliments.

A lovely little Italian restaurant. You can dine in or take out. The service is friendly and very accommodating, accommodating my allergies, especially now that I'm pregnant. For the very first time, I had spaghetti bolognese at a restaurant. So I'm very happy and satisfied. Highly recommended, we'll definitely go back when we're in the area.

So we came for lunch so about 12:00 and it’s quite full. So better to have a reservation. Overall the restaurant is very nice. It’s quite small with a great atmosphere. They even have a Juventus Shirt signed by plenty of players. It’s really cool. The food was good and the staff was friendly. Overall had a great experience

Tasty sandwiches and good espresso

By far the most unfriendly waitress and waitress. Due to a phone call with bad news about my son's doctor's results, I had to briefly place my laptop on the table after lunch. When she realized this and I explained why it was necessary for a short time—in an otherwise empty establishment—this woman stuck to the rule that laptops were not allowed to be opened: zero humanity or compassion. Surely you haven't experienced anything like this anywhere before: where is your sense of humanity?

Fantastic sandwiches, had lunch there with the team!!

Very expensive, and the food leaves a lot to be desired. I had the worst risottini I’ve ever had. they tasted old and completely lacked flavor. Honestly, it was very disappointing for the price, the food is not fresh at all.

What fantastic sandwiches they have here! A great place for a delicious Italian lunch!

I liked the food here and it stays super busy. Nice and authentic Italian pizzas are served. Service is quick and the food is really fresh. Would want to visit soon to try other food dishes.

A very cute Italian restaurant with delicious food and big portions. People running this place are very friendly. Their thin-dough pizzas are very big in size and tasty. You may try vegetale for vegetarian and Daviola for meat one. And don't forget to order a glass of Primitivo! Belissima! 🤌

We had another delicious meal tonight; the lemon chicken was really well-prepared and full of flavor. For dessert, of course, I had the pistachio tiramisu, which remains my favorite. I come here several times a week, and the food is always excellent. The lasagna and pesto pasta are also highly recommended; they're always fresh and made with care. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff is friendly and helpful. A great place for both a quick lunch and a relaxed dinner.

I come here for dinner and drinks at least three times a week; the food is fantastic!! They have nothing but delicious food, from wonderfully thin pizzas to delicious pasta and fantastic desserts🤩 Highly recommended if you're looking for a tasty lunch or early dinner! Everything is truly delicious. The staff is friendly and always helpful.

I was quite unhappy with my recent visit. I ordered two main dishes and was surprised to learn that I couldn’t get a glass of tap water unless I also bought another drink. For a restaurant, that policy seems unfair and not very friendly, especially given how much food I ordered. It created a negative impression and made the experience less pleasant. Sadly, I don’t plan to go back and wouldn’t recommend the place because of this rule.

I was very disappointed during my last visit. After ordering two main meals, I was told that I couldn’t have a glass of tap water unless I purchased another drink, which I found surprising. For a restaurant, this policy feels unreasonable and unwelcoming, especially considering the amount of food I ordered. It gave me a poor impression and made the visit less enjoyable. Unfortunately, I don’t intend to return and can’t recommend the restaurant because of this policy.

Lovely "sandwiches" for a takeaway, more than a simple sandwich 😋, amazing array of ingredients and so fresh and healthy

The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. There were also options to choose from different types of bread, but unfortunately, at 1 p.m., the options were more limited. The service was good and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant with an Italian touch. The sandwiches are pricey for the quantity/size. Definitely worth a visit.

Always been satisfied, but this time the lasagna wasn't good and the vitello tonnato smelled like cheap fish. Really not good. Too bad. A different chef?

At Gusto di Gasto, you'll feel like you're in Italy. Everything you eat here is of excellent quality, perfectly seasoned, prepared with the very best ingredients and with LOVE—you can taste it. The paninis (sandwiches) are generously topped. The pizza has a delicious thin crust. The melanzana a la parmigiano is incredibly delicious, just like everything else they offer. The service is fast and friendly, and they also offer takeout, both hot and cold.

Rude unfriendly old waiter. His young colleague rescued a bit the review. Quite disappointing location and worse coffee.

Real Amsterdam Italians, good food, nice atmosphere and knowledge of the trade.

Honestly worst service I have ever seen in a restaurant! Asked for tap water after having ordered two main dishes and they said I needed to buy a drink to get access to the water. It was weird but not the end of the world, then they bring a single glass of water and when my friend asked for one too they told him that he needed to buy a drink to get access to the water. Please do not go to this restaurant as there are much better options around it.

I was really disappointed with my recent visit. I ordered two main courses and was shocked to be told I couldn’t have a glass of tap water unless I also ordered a drink. For a restaurant, that feels unreasonable and unwelcoming especially considering the amount of food I ordered. It left a bad impression and made the whole experience less enjoyable. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it based on this policy.

Great service! Just before closing time, I ordered a delicious bresaola pizza for pickup. Very generously topped, and the arugula was served neatly on the side. The only thing I could do with the dough was a bit better (the Roman crust could be crispier, which could also be due to pickup).

Poor service and atmosphere. I was ignored by the rather rude waiter. I was also not allowed to sit down because the restaurant was closing. It turned out he had lied about the closing time.

Very nice service and the food was super good 👍

Nice food, service, and location, also good variety of choices, you can check with the service on daily special

Nice local restaurant with tasty food.

My current comment: Everything has changed significantly, the food quality is presentable but rather disappointing, the pinsa is hard like a rock, not crispy, and its size is just the size of a lady hand, and cost €14.95, way too expensive, and still very hungry! I am not a big eater. Service from the staff is still ok, as we are frequent customers, yet, having no laptop policy is too explicit and not welcoming customers. Below was the comment i gave 5 years ago with five stars “Love coming back to this Italian restaurant. Wonderful service, price and portion are all very reasonable, love their fresh blood orange juice.”

We tried both the sandwiches and the pizzas. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet our expectations and didn’t reflect the quality one expects from Italian cuisine. The pizza had an unusual smell and taste, which affected our experience. We were hoping for better.

A long time customer here, for years. I like the sandwiches even though the prices increased a lot recent years. One big disappointment is weird "no laptop" policy and the insistance of the crew on this. My friend had to check her emails per a few minutes but she has been warned a few times, first nicely but then in a very rude way. That behavior was not ok, and this policy makes no sense. Waitress was telling something like, "other customers also want that, so close it"..completely non sense..

Had a lovely margarita pizza and the best ever Cesar salad. Staff very friendly

I am quite picky when it comes to Italian food. Ate here with my husband and we had a pizza, lasagna and 2 coffees. The food was so good that I forgot to take a picture and post it. The staff is super friendly and the food was great. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ now for a 2nd time and took a picture.

We received a very friendly and welcoming welcome, the food was delicious, and the dog was also very welcome. Highly recommended!

Very good food at a good price. The service was very friendly!

I definitely will not recommend this Restaurant.. Big disappointment. Food wasn't cooked enough. Meat completely not cooked and not testy. I pasta stinky disgusting and definitely too expensive compared to the quality

Zeer klantonvriendelijkheid. Ben maar weggegaan . Bij vertrek nog de opmerking of ik de deur goed achter me dicht wilde trekken. Nice, NOT

Delicious food and fast and friendly service. Price quality is very good. Sandwiches are large but delicious. And I had the Pulpo Salad, it was so delicious. Really fresh and tasted excellent. We will definitely visit again soon. Highly recommended if you want a nice lunch and the decor is really beautiful.

We first discovered this place two years ago and were absolutely blown away by how delicious the food was. We recently returned, and I’m happy to say it’s just as impressive as we remembered! The staff is warm and welcoming, and the food? Simply outstanding—authentic flavors that instantly transport you to Italy. Every dish is bursting with taste, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality you get. It’s rare to find a spot that consistently delivers such an amazing dining experience, and we’ll definitely keep coming back!

Delicious food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere

It’s a real italian place. Not like being in italy obviously, not exactly perfectly italian to the letter, but they really take care of the food in a way that italians appreciate! I am italian and I visit regularly for pizza or a nice panino. I recommend it. And the coffee is really espresso, short like it should!

Delicious classic Italian! Emphasis on lunch or early dinner.

Prices are stupid. You can also exaggerate. Food was very tasty and friendly people. Even with a slightly lower price, I will definitely come back here, but now you feel a bit relieved.

Tenemos lasaña boloñesa y berenjena parmesana € 17, 95 cada uno. Delicioso, el servicio lento, pero tenían solo 1 - 2 jóvenes en el piso. No se sirve con pan italiano, pero amablemente nos dio una cesta cuando se le pide sin cargo. ¡Nunca antes se había servido una comida italiana sin pan! Así que todo era casi perfecto hasta que fui al baño al final de la visita y no había jabón a la vista! No tan preocupado por mí, pero los servidores también utilizan esa facilidad! No es agradable. Se lo mencioné a nuestro camarero pero tuve la sensación de que “no es mi trabajo” Qué pena.

Delicious sandwiches without E-Numbers and home-baked

Delicious coffee, but what bizarre prices for a sandwich!!! 14.95 for most sandwiches....we are not vultures, but in the end we just had a coffee there because we were really shocked by the prices, and we are really used to that.

It's not super atmospheric, but the people are so hospitable and customer-friendly and the food is super tasty. Highly recommended?

I ate here with my husband for lunch yesterday, when we entered we immediately felt a cozy atmosphere and we were helped right away. I had a pollo matto sandwich and my husband had the vittelo tonato sandwich. However, the service was nice, they were very friendly and were also very neat. The food was affordable for what you ultimately get.

Relatively expensive and only trendy sandwiches that are not special

Super cozy restaurant during lunch. Beautiful dishes with authentic Italian cooking. Try the Caesar salad, a lukewarm salad with delicious dressing. Sublime! Highly recommended. Oh yes, then enjoy some luxurious shopping at Gelderlandplein.

Me encantan los bocadillos de este lugar! El BOXIE es increíble. Caminé desde Amsterdam Centraal para recoger mi Boxie antes de dirigirme al aeropuerto. Soy fan de todos los bocadillos; y no puedo esperar a volver de nuevo. No me he sentado a almorzar aquí - el sándwich para llevar es lo que recuerdo y me dio justo el sabor que esperaba. ¡Gracias!

perfect Italian cappuccino with delicious Sican cannoli

I miss the authentic Italian flavors. Most dishes were bland. I could never bring my Italian friends here. Prices per kg are interesting, resemble a revenue model, which means you pay unnecessarily a lot for very little. Pizza wasn't bad *hence two stars.

The Marriott staff pointed us here our first night and the pizza was excellent. We came back for another meal later in the week. The lasagna was outstanding. The bread served was made there and the atmosphere was great & friendly. We were full so didn’t have room for dessert but they looked tempting

Realmente, comida de primera, el propietario era brillante. Estábamos varados cerca después del desastre del 19 de julio con el mundo colapsando. Vino por una pizza la primera noche. A la noche siguiente, volvimos por pasta y nos preguntó si seguíamos varados, se detuvo y estaba charlando con nosotros. Los lugareños estaban diciendo que era un gran lugar, servicio increíble y súper amable, pero todo el mundo en Amsterdam parece ser.

An Italian restaurant worthy of the name! Delicious dish, wine. Very nice experience.

I can order excellent Italian and tasty food and receive friendly service

Delicious thin Italian Pizza with diverse options. Good service and cozy atmosphere.

Tuvimos una experiencia muy horrible en este lugar! Los empleados son muy hostiles a los clientes. No deberían estar en un negocio de hospitalidad en absoluto. El lugar es muy informal y casual pequeño lugar para comer. Estábamos sentados en los asientos exteriores. Nuestro pedido estaba tardando tanto, así que decidí abrir una cookie. La camarera fue histérica y gritando, que no estamos siguiendo una regla. Entendería mucho si el lugar es un incluso tiene un ambiente de restaurante, pero es como un lugar para llevar comida parece que no es fresco en absoluto!

Horrible waiters! We were sitting in the outside seats while waiting for our orders which is taking so long when I decided to eat a cookie! The waitresses went histerical and embarrassed me in public for eating something not from the restaurant(never experienced anything like that). The restaurant is even in a very informal setup. Not worth to be in a hospitality business. Very hostile to customers!

Even if the espresso is good, it's not worth feeling like it's emptying your pockets. 7.50 for two expresses... come on

So we were given a lecture about how our kids were “spoiling” the look of the sugar sachets. Seriously? 1*

Enjoyed a delicious lunch with friends. The positive thing is that everything is very fresh, the service is very attentive and the sandwiches are quite large and well filled. That is also allowed for the price from € 15.00 to € 17.00 per sandwich, which is quite expensive together with the drink prices that are presented quite high and too expensive on the bill, which is very negative because it prevents you from doing it weekly or even more frequently. to go there again. But the food offered is very tasty, so once every 2 months is doable with the investment you have to make with your wallet. If the prices were 20 to 25% cheaper, I would go there every week to enjoy those delicious sandwiches.

Vandaag van een heerlijke lunch genoten met vrienden. Positief is dat alles heel vers is, de bediening is zeer attent en de broodjes zijn behoorlijk groot en goed belegd. Dat mag ook wel voor de prijs vanaf € 15.00 tot € 17.00 per broodje wat onbehoorlijk en flink duur is samen met de drank prijzen die tamelijk hoog en te duur op de rekening wordt gepresenteerd, dat is zeer negatief want het weerhoud je er van weekelijks of zelfs freqenter er weer naar toe te gaan. Maar het geboden voedsel is heel lekker dus 1 x per 2 maanden is te doen met de investering die je met je portemonee moet aandoen. Als de prijzen 20 tot 25 % voordeliger zou zijn ging ik er elke week weer naar toe om van de heerlijke broodjes te genieten.

We had to wait a long time before we were helped, while a group of 4 people who came after us were helped immediately.

Friendly staff and delicious food, great place after a long day of traveling and walking.

I loved the spinach dish (with garlic and pepper). The tomato soup was also good. Friendly service. I can recommend the ravioli with truffle and cream. Update: I came back today and had the vegetale pizza with artichoke, grilled aubergine, arugula and spinach. I loved it!

It’s an Amsterdam classic, but nothing special to drive around for.

Great place for luxury Italian sandwiches. Recommended!

Delicious, honest Italian food. Make a reservation if you want to be sure of a table!

I like this small place with different variety of fresh and delicious food. Last time had these photos and again the taste didn’t disappoint us. Great option also for take away!

You are off track in the Netherlands. A chicken sandwich for €15, cappuccino for €4.50 Served on a mini table. With screeching tires to France where you get a three-course menu for €15, including wine, coffee, water and bread. For the price of your chicken sandwich.

I had a sandwich that was really good, good portion, good taste and fresh bread.

Very convenient outside the mall, food served quickly. The spaghetti bolognese tastes very ordinary and the noodles are soft. Garlic fried pasta... very oily and greasy.

Wide selection of prepared food for takeaway: octopuss salad, pasta, chicken with lemon sauce, lasagna, etc. All dishes are very tasty and the service is friendly. Prices are on the higher side, yet reasonable.

We have a coffee there a few times a week and occasionally take takeaway food home. Service is always friendly and the coffee and the food are excellent!

Ecstasy! I'll be back here! Delicious fresh sandwiches made with love!

Paid 15 euros for a mediocre vitello tonato sandwich (which turned out to have nothing else on it). When I asked for arugula, I received a scornful heap on a small plate for which I then had to pay an extra euro. Way too expensive and quite dirty

Pricey, but good quality. Quite busy around lunchtime, always a good sign...

Bought food to eat at home. Two pieces of lasagna, a small piece of melanzane and 5 meatballs. The price? 67 euros. Bizarre for the quantity. The food was tasty but the ratio between quantity and price is absurd.

What delicious sandwiches you have here. So much variation and richly invested. My favorite is olive bread with provolone, grilled eggplant and lots of spinach + pine nuts, etc. Cappuccino and espresso macchiato are also of very good quality. Prices have risen considerably over time and there is usually a lot of crowding at the uncomfortable tables, where nowadays you are often only allowed to sit downstairs. The controls are also quite tight these days.

had a nice variety of Italian cuisine. The service was great and the atmosphere was amazing!!

Great food and friendly service even an hour before closing time! We came here for dinner with our family from Japan and we will definitely come back!

Don't be fooled by the outside, just go inside. Delicious and very friendly

Great for a nice cup of coffee.

Delicious sandwiches and friendly service. Everything is pricey, but quality is provided

Delicious Italian. Just a bit pricey.

The waiters are a bit rude, but okay. They moved our son's chair because they had to make an extra table. The food is good but a little expensive.

Gezellig druk Italiaans restaurant, nu alleen kopje koffie. Vriendelijke bediening en vlot geholpen.

While the café looks very nice, the personnel was very unpolite with me and my girlfriend. We are both vegans, and we asked if they had anything vegan for us for breakfast, they said they didn't. Due to time constraints (my girlfriend had to catch a train) we decided to get a Cappuccino (with soy milk) at the café, and eat our own vegan snacks. We were sitting outside in the self-service area. After a couple of minutes we got asked to stop eating our things, or just leave. If you don't offer a service, especially regarding allergies and restrictive diets (you don't know why I cannot eat dairy!) you should always be understanding, and allow your customers to eat their own food. We had also paid 9 euros for two cappucinos! Very bad service, very unprofessional. I felt unwelcomed, and mistreated. This is not how I should feel in a place that takes customer service seriously. I really wish they can get better! (the cappuccino was just ok)

Super lekker eten!!! Service ontzettend gezellig met vaste medewerkers!

Really friendly service. We got a table for four even when the restaurant was pretty full. We got our food fast, but unfortunately the ravioli was a little cold. The pizzas were tasty and really big.

Good pizza and good value for Amsterdam.

This place use to serve delicious sandwiches and was one of our favorites. They increased the prices recently and the quality of the food got worse. If a sandwich is for 15 eur, I expect quality ingredients and generous portions. Very disappointing.

La comida es muy buena y la atención también. Pero pedimos un aperol y nos dieron de botella, es decir el que viene listo y no un cocktail preparado, esperábamos que al ser italiano fuera mejor .
