Incanto in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Staff super nice, made a reservation and then wanted to make it later which they accommodated. Restaurant in a cool building overlooking Munttoren and canal.

What a lovely location above the busy streets of Amsterdam. Situated in a historic building with large windows, most tables overlook the square below. They offer an a la carte menu as well as a tasting menu. I opted for a la carte and could not have been more pleased with my meal. First, the wine was spectacular. I asked for a suggestion and after I answered a few questions about my preferences for red wine, the proprietor brought me the most perfect Italian red. My meal was amazing - saffron gnocchi with langoustine and a lemon burrata drizzle. I had a delicious pistachio panna cotta for dessert. Restaurant is highly recommended.

Fantastic dining experience, I felt like at home in Italy 😊

Personale gentile ed educato….. veloci nel servizio. Attenti e cordiali. Piatti squisiti! Come in Italia! Unica nota Dolente Il Locale non accessibile a chi Ha qualche difficoltà nella deambulazione!

Fixed stop when we come to Amsterdam. Excellent food, lovely place, very friendly staff

The food in this place blew my mind, service was impeccable, instantly in my top 3 restaurants in amsterdam.

Comida excelente, servicio excelente, en general una gran experiencia. El menú de Chefs 4 platos era muy sabroso y buena relación calidad-precio. Sin duda recomiendo.

Modern Italiaans van uitstekende kwaliteit. Mooie wijnen, die deskundig en onderhoudend gepresenteerd worden. De bediening is sowieso van hoge kwaliteit: informeel zonder opdringerig te zijn. En het uitzicht: zelfs met een prachtige tafeldame was het moeilijk niet af en toe afgeleid te worden door een blik op het Muntplein

Eis um pequeno e discreto restaurante no centro de Amesterdão, num primeiro andar, onde a cozinha italiana dá cartas num menu pequeno mas focado na autenticidade. Todos os pratos foram excepcionais, tanto que tivemos de voltar uma segunda vez. Serviço muito afável e uma pujante carta de vinhos italianos completam na perfeição este restaurante verdadeiramente encantador, onde apetece estar. E voltar…

This is a small, discreet restaurant in the centre of Amsterdam, on the first floor, where Italian cuisine is the order of the day on a small menu that focuses on authenticity. All the dishes were exceptional, so much so that we had to go back a second time. Very friendly service and a strong Italian wine list perfectly complement this truly charming restaurant, where you want to be. And come back…

Good Italian cuisine. Friendly service that responded well to our timetable for a performance. Nice place with a view of the Munttoren

I said an indescribably idyllic restaurant in a good location in Amsterdam. Great food and service. The next time I travel to Amsterdam, I will come to this restaurant again. A popular place, you should reserve a table in advance. We got a wonderful window table on the second floor of the restaurant, the third floor from street level.

we were there last night(18th April), it was awful. the food quality was not good, it was not fresh at all. it was very crowded, during the time we were there, their employees broke 3 times glasses , many times we heard sth fell down in the kitchen. The food is not worthy of the price at all. I do not recommend it at all.

Really nice restaurant, hidden gem, need to find the entry up the stairs but it's definitely worthwhile, nice wines very good food

First night in Amsterdam and found this gem just up the road from our hotel. Great food and wine. A lovely young crew who are happy to serve you. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is a delight in the true sense of the word. The excellent service, the high quality food, the very nice atmosphere and the location with a breathtaking view of the flower market in the center of Amsterdam. Our waiter Leo (Alessandro Borghi's lookalike 😍) served us with great professionalism and excellence. A true professional. Worth mentioning is the best tiramisu I have ever tasted.

Me and my wife had the worst experience there..! 1st dish (out of 4) arrived after 20 min from order and meanwhile we stuffed ourselves with bread.. the 1st dish was small but pretty tasty, than we had to wait for another 25 min for the 2nd course which was absolutely the worst Risotto we ever had (and we both love Risotto and Italian food).. I told it to the wateriest and asked if there is another dish instead and she just nodded her head and took the plates. We thought we might get a dish instead or at least a partial refund on the bill.. but we got non! Absolutely disgraceful behavior to a client at a fine dinning restaurant.. stay away!!!

For me this is the best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam and surrounding areas. Reception, service, food and surroundings are top notch. No boring pizzas and pastas here that anyone can make, but top quality with a refined twist. Nice wine list and top wines by the glass. Nice place to stay and eat on the 2nd or 1st floor. Beautiful view of Rokin and flower market. Parking in the hotel garage, a 200m walk away.

Very friendly staff, cozy ambience, creative food

Incanto is definitely one of my favorites, if not my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam! After visiting about 15 times, I can safely say that the food is made with love, fresh and seasonal ingredients, the wine is decadent and the service top notch. Roelof (the manager and sommelier) is truly an expert in wines and will give you the best of suggestions according to your taste and preferences. 10/10 recommend!

Incredible people incredible atmosphere and the most delightful Italian authentic meals at a remarkable price. I love these people and I love that you can see all of Amsterdam from up here. No wonder it’s a Hit with the locals

Really nice place, with delicious food and lots of personal attention. The group I was with had a lot of allergies and they takes this super serious. Also they had a lot of patience!

Ottimo ristorante italiano in Amsterdam. Personale gentile e attento. Il locale é molto accogliente e piacevole. Torneremo sicuramente.

Very delicious food and amazing wine selection to pair it with. The staff were incredibly attentive and paid attention to requests and dietary restrictions we had. Regardless, they delivered the food with absolute perfection. Highly recommended

Bellissimo posto con una vista speciale sui canali di Amsterdam. La cameriera, italiana, è stata molto gentile e premurosa, così come tutti i suoi colleghi olandesi. Cibo davvero piacevole e buona carta dei vini, da provare assolutamente!

Definitely one of the best places in Amsterdam to eat real Italian food in a very intimate setting. We went to celebrate New Year's Eve, we took the tasting menu which was spectacular. A couple of people have replaced one of the fixed plates for another without problems. Impeccable service, excellent food quality, incredible range of wines and fairly honest prices. Definitely worth visiting!

Excellent menu for NYE. The food was very well prepared and well done, the Wine Pairing also had a very good selection.

Excellent dinner, Italian cuisine. Thanks to the chef and all the staff, very kind and helpful. Special evenings are spent in this restaurant. Highly recommended

Come during the New Year's meal. 4-course meal. Very good food Very pleasant service Nice place. Only small downside: Arrival at 7:30 p.m. At 10 p.m., we were kicked out because other people were waiting to eat (a shame because we would have had a coffee and finished our glass of wine in peace). However, we could really recommend this place!

I think my expectation was too high..I tried the steak with truffle on the top, but I barely tasted the truffle, no scent. So I felt it was just a salted tender beef steak with no sauce, just a bit of spinach, nothing more than that compared to the price. Would’ve been great if there was at least a side such as potatoes. For that moment I completely forgot I was at an Italian restaurant, means a bit disappointed. Appetiser octopus was good, great atmosphere. But wouldn’t want to go back next time.

Online zoekend naar een nieuw eetadres kwamen we uit bij Incanto. Discreet verstopt aan de Amstel, dus geen massatoerisme over de vloer. Klein en knus restaurant met mooi uitzicht over het Muntplein en Rokin. De medewerkers zijn vriendelijk en efficiënt. Geen te uitgebreide menukaart met mooie gerechten, goed klaargemaakt en gepresenteerd. Uitgebreide wijnkaart met diverse prijsklassen. Wij hebben genoten van onze avond. Incanto staat nu met stip in ons adresboek.

Had a private dining event with work, the service and food was superb. A fine dining experience.

Herzlich willkommen in diesem wunderbaren italienischen Restaurant. So ein feines Essen mit toller Bedienung Wir kommen wieder Molto Bene

Wonderful, beautiful experience in the heart of Amsterdam. Due to its location on the 1st floor, it creates a living room atmosphere when you look out the windows.

Wow, what a fantastic meal. This place is amazing. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable. Great wine, food, and the desserts were all delicious.

This restaurant, right in the tourist heart of Amsterdam, turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The location, on the first floor, offers beautiful views all around. The food was delicious. What really stood out was the service: attentive and friendly, everyone kept an eye on all the tables and helped each other. And all of this led by an enthusiastic, cheerful sommelier who not only served excellent wines, but who knew how to tell even better stories. Definitely recommended!

If there’s one restaurant you visit while in Amsterdam make sure it’s this one! Me and my partner decided to end our trip in Amsterdam with dinner here. And let me tell you it did not disappoint! We both got the 4 course menu but I got the vegetarian option so we got to try so much. I really recommend doing the 4 courses. My boyfriend had one course he didn’t love as much but they got him something else without him even having to ask and free of charge. Their service is on another level as we were always being waited on and they even had a sommelier to recommend us the most delicious wine to pair with our food! This was the best meal I have ever had by FAR and the service was even better!

We experienced it on our last day in Amsterdam. It was truly a great gastronomic experience. Everything was perfect, including starters and main courses. I especially recommend you to try tuna tartare, veal cheek and spaghetti.

Found by chance while walking in the streets of the city. Sophisticated menu of fresh and seasonal products. The young, friendly, helpful and above all true Italian staff immediately welcomed us (even though we hadn't booked) and made us feel immediately at ease. We chose to rely on the kitchen and its menu of the day consisting of 4 courses (very refined and balanced). We thank you for the splendid evening with a crazy view and in the hope of a prompt goodbye we wish only the best. See you next time with warm recommendation!

We were there at 10 p.m., but the kitchen was already closed. Please also write that the opening time is until 10 p.m. and not until midnight. Otherwise you'll walk here unnecessarily. As an alternative, a separate kitchen opening time can also be stored on Maps. But it doesn't make any sense.

Excellent service. We went to a work dinner and everything was great!!!!! I READ A BIG !!!!!

Superb quality food and wine pairing. amazing staff with great sommelier skills. Food is on more expensive side

Great Italian! Had the chefs menu and it was great.....dessert is excellent as well! Great view overlooking the street

Great experience. Really nice service. Delicious menu and can be customized too. Food was truly excellent. View is beautiful and location too. Definitely go back here!

Delicious Italian cuisine, very fine delicate flavors, adequate portions and incredible wine selection.

We had an amazing evening, choosing the 4-course chef’s menu, and it was absolutely delicious! Every dish was packed with flavor and creativity. The team was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. This place is definitely a must-visit, and we will absolutely be coming back!

The manager is a really uneducated person, he was trying to make a reservation (which was available), when he came out and shouted that he couldn't sit down and wait. A real shame.

Nuestro grupo de cuatro eligió este restaurante porque estaba situado muy cerca del Hotel D'LEurope. Nuestro servidor italiano era encantador. La comida... no tanto. Pedimos un tipo de aperitivo ricotta / cannoli para nuestra mesa. Se recomendó conseguir dos ya que eran porciones pequeñas. Era bastante caro a 18 euros por pedido y promedio, en el mejor de los casos. No había ninguna oferta de ensaladas en el menú, que me pareció extraño para un restaurante italiano. Todos teníamos pastas que eran inmemorables. Las ofertas de vino eran muy agradables. En general, no es un lugar al que volvería.

Thanks to the great food and the friendly staff, we had an amazing evening :) although I personally found the wine pairing a bit experimental(?), but all in all great place for a nice dinner!

La comida italiana es nuestra favorita y este lugar no nos decepcionó. Estábamos con un grupo con un menú fijo y disfrutamos de cada curso que se sirvió. Los platos de cerámica que utilizan también son hermosos. El personal era muy servicial y divertido. Solo una nota que el restaurante está a un vuelo de la calle.

The hours are listed as closing at 12am on Tuesday. I showed up at 10:45pm and it was already closed.

Delicious food, friendly staff. We were sitting among the Italians so I think that says it all. The cacio e pepe was perfectly traditionally prepared and very tasty.

Four of us had dinner in this restaurant with a magnificent view of the canal. The dishes were all very good, but the prices, even considering the city average, we found them slightly excessive. What we liked least was the service: although some waiters were very friendly, others offered a very cold although courteous service, and some were even annoyed and slightly rude. I think that considering quality-price and service, there are better options in the city

We went here twice while we were in Amsterdam. The warm, welcoming service made the experience truly special. A big thank you to Gaaya for being very helpful! Highly recommend this place—great atmosphere, nice view, attentive staff, and an overall exceptional dining experience.

My husband and I first came here 10+ yrs ago and had a wonderful experience on one of our first dates. The location overlooks the beautiful Amstel River, and despite being in the Center, is tucked away in a refurbished traditional Dutch building, and is so gezellig. We've since come back twice over 10 years, and, unfortunately, the food has gotten progressively worse. The descriptions in the menu hold the promise of authentic flavor combinations but the preparations leave much to be desired - the seasoning is consistently over or under, the sauces were too dry with high salinity, and they also lacked depth and complexity to our palettes. We ordered the gnocchi, octopus, and duck. The gnocchi was the best of the three, but not by leaps and bounds. There is a place in the restaurant world for mediocre Italian fare, but their price points do not match the quality of the dishes. The one bright spot in the evening was the wine - both the sommelier and the wine were incredible and memorable. We're grateful for the excellent service, but won't be returning.

Next level. The signature meal was amazing

We had been here before and enjoyed it better with a more private table away from the busy center. It is an old place where you climb steep stairs to get to it. From the window is a pretty view of the hotel L’ Europe. This time it was too hot (no air conditioning). The host was in an awful mood and yelled at one of the waiters several times. The waiters kept changing so did not remember about food allergies until either the host or we explained again. The food was average. My son had the risotto which he enjoyed. I had the gluten free pasta with lamb. It is an expensive but average meal.

Really good food menu, welcoming and attentive staff members, and cozy vibe. The octopus dish and lobster gnocchi were great. The desserts are very pretty, but not as good as they look. I'd recommend ordering multiple food menus and skipping dessert.

Small, but lovely place. Food and service were EXCELLENT

Yummy food in a unique space with huge windows overlooking the canal

My friend and I had a four-course dinner, and although the portions might look small at first, we were absolutely full by the end. Everything was absolutely delicious!

The food was great, service was friendly, location was very nice. The sommelier chose a very nice red wine - we ordered a bottle. We had 4 course dinner with chef selection. First course was this mackerel - tasty! Second - risotto with beetroot sauce -- not a fan of risotto, but it was cooked to perfection the texture and the taste was okay Third - beefsteak ( we called it bifstuk) with truffle -- meat was cooked perfectly pink, not too rare - taste was great Fourth - Dessert - we had cheese plates and panakota plate -- the panakota was soooo delish!!!! Price was okay. Much as i want to give 5 stars, I was not admonished by the food, except the dessert which was so amazing. I think we got what we expected, tho we are waiting for a surprise !!!

Geweldig gegeten hier. Mooie gerechten en heerlijke wijnen. Bediening is zeer gastvrij en vriendelijk. Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Echt een aanrader.

Nice venue in center city of Amsterdam with attentive service staff. The food, while pretending to be somewhat unique and avante gard, didn't work for me. A deconstructed dish with cannolo stuffed with a totally bland buffalo mozzarella with a side of tomato just doesn't work. While it is pretty to look at, the tastes just were not there. Followed by other dishes that were fine, but not exceptional. Lastly, and always speculative, believe I got food poisoning from the Italian cheeses at the end; one was especially funky. Only thing I ate different from my wife. By 5 am, I was suffering and it lasted for 24 hours. Having had food poisoning previously, I'm fairly sure. Always puts a damper on what could have been an acceptable meal.

Fabulous service and food. Refined Italian cuisine. Modern but cosy atmosphere. It has a good wine list, including options by the glass.

A great spot to get a meal. It's a full 4 course experience. Don't expect to fill up necessarily, but you will be impressed with what comes out for you. Service was incredible, they were almost too attentive because the entire staff checks on you. Some beautiful views over the canals as well.

The best Italian fine dining experience in Amsterdam

Delicious food and good service

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at many Italian restaurants worldwide, but Incanto stands out as truly exceptional. Nestled along the picturesque Amstel canal, its location is simply stunning. Despite being Dutch, the owner has mastered the art of Italian cuisine, delivering flavors that transport you straight to Italy. The food and service are outstanding, with each dish meticulously prepared and beautifully presented. A highlight for me was the unique sea bass and Baklava dish, which ranks among the top 5 dishes I’ve ever tasted. Incanto is a must-visit for any Italian food enthusiast!

I was their guest for dinner and I enjoyed it so much that I also returned for lunch. What can I say: excellent food and refined cuisine but their real added value is the team! Special applause to Leo, Serena and Alfio. A mix of professionalism and friendliness. Absolutely recommended. Antonio Amorosini

The discreet entrance reveals a carefully decorated and elegant setting. Fine and tasty cuisine. Great staff!

Incanto is a gem in the heart of Amsterdam! An absolutely amazing Italian dining experience in a cozy, inviting space with great views. Everything we ordered was delicious. The first course of gnocchi with lobster, followed by the pork belly entree, were outstanding. The wine list is impressive, and finding several options of Valpolicella from Le Ragose was one of the highlights of the evening. The service was impeccable and if you are lucky enough to secure a table here, it will be one of your best memories of your time in this vibrant city!

The girls serving were great. Very good service. Nice place to eat out. While eating you can watch the traffic chaos on the Muntplein.

Fantastic meal for two. Beautiful location, cozy space and the food was excellent. The staff is interested and is ready to help you if you have any questions. We will definitely come back here!

Food is great, staff works really hard and very friendly. The sommelier has a lot of knowledge and brings more experience to your dinner with his extra information. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, price quality is great

Food was delicious. They forgot to put in my order so our group of 10 had to wait a bit for me to get my food. Otherwise, it was a nice restaurant.

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. Very advanced Sommelier in house. Did fantastic paring for me and my son. Great presentation for food. It's very tasty. Manu was fantastic. We took set one, including 5 dishes. I'm looking forward to visiting them once again.

It was a very good experience… very business place. Average price, a majestic Italian waitress, a very cute and visible winery and views of the canals and the flower market of 10. I would repeat

As my wife says, this place has the best Cacio e Pepe I've ever had outside of Rome.

Excellent experience Food and service top class

Best restaurant in Amsterdam. Food is amazing, i have never eaten so good . Great atmosphere and wine as well. Highly recommended. Top.

Great food and affordable! Definitely recommend this place.

Restaurant located in a very nice area of ​​Amsterdam, I was there last Monday, the restaurant has an extensive wine list and a nice room, I ordered the menu of the day, all very good but the starter and dessert were simply exceptional! Advised!

The food is excellent and the plating is refined

Italian restaurant, excellent quality food, well cared for and maximum kindness. Fantastic view from the dining room. Well done, keep it up 🔝

Good food but very overpriced. Expected more for the price I paid. People nice though.

Food excellent, specially prepared and good combinations. Great view, very attentive service, very good wine selection! We were thrilled. Difficult to find locally!

If you are in Amsterdam and want to try this restaurant, do it, it's worth it without the slightest doubt. Excellent quality menu in Italian. Dining room staff speaks Italian. Few proposals but as they say "few but good". I recommend a fixed menu with two options to choose from. Dinner for 4 Two menus from €55.00 (2 starters 2 first courses 2 second courses 2 desserts) total €110.00 Plus Two starters Two first courses 6 waters Total 228.00 It's worth it all. Compliments to the chef and all the staff. The only negative note is that if you want to have dinner at 8-8.30pm you have to book at least one day in advance otherwise you risk having a shift at 9.30pm. But this matters relatively if you are on holiday. 4 stars for the environment only because the environment is penalized by the vertical development of the place.

I can share my experience by saying that the food is good, but it is excessively scarce, the service is slow (they take time to serve), and added that if you are a tourist (the majority) they try to put things in the bill to charge you more, it seems to me It's stupid and very sad, I certainly wouldn't return nor will I recommend it. It's not a mistake, trying to deceive you.

I had previously visited this restaurant years ago and it was very wonderful, but unfortunately its level has become low and disappointing in terms of the quality of the food and the poor service and inconvenience caused by loud noises, especially the sounds of the staff as they bang the dishes very loudly.

Truly fantastic restaurant! Everything taken care of down to the smallest detail. The staff is truly impeccable as are the dishes that are offered! An obligatory stop for those who want to enjoy a culinary experience refined in every detail.

Having returned after many years, I found the same quality and attention to food and cooking. An increasingly sophisticated and extensive wine list with over 300 labels Super advice...!👍🔝

Service was good, but that’s about it. Food was mediocre, forgettable and overpriced for what you get. Risotto was awful, fish was disappointing (and incredibly salty) and the dessert was also not good. The tuna tartare was ok. Definitely not worth it!

Ate here for the second time and once again the food was excellent. Prepared and served with care and attention. The speed at which the dishes arrived was too high and they were cleared very quickly. That can be a bit more relaxing. Not/less suitable for people with reduced mobility due to steep stairs.

Unfortunately, really bad food for high prices. Terribly dry octopus and gnocchi with fresh lobster had no taste. I couldn't finish the both dishes. Good wine selection though. Good location, terrible food, polite staff, a tourist trap.

what a great restaurant to celebrate your birthday! Delicious food: the sea bream in particular was fantastic. the view of the Amstel and Hotel de L'Europe is of course something to dream about. Tuesday evening was pleasantly busy! recommended!

Very expensive. The personnel were very arrogant

The food at Incanto was enjoyable, with each dish offering distinct flavors. The tasting menu is generous, so it's best to arrive with a hearty appetite. The staff, including the server and sommelier, were attentive and knowledgeable, making our dining experience feel like a genuine conversation. The staff's dry humor added a pleasant touch to the atmosphere. However, it's worth noting that the location near Rembrandtplein may not suit those seeking a quieter, more local atmosphere, although the restaurant's large windows bring in plenty of natural sunlight

Amazing experience and incredible service by Roulaf,

Excellent Italian cuisine, service one step away from excellence
