Isola Bella in Grachtengordel-Zuid

The food was truly delicious. It was a shame about the large chunks of garlic in the food, but that didn't spoil my appetite. The service wasn't what you'd normally expect in a restaurant. I won't be back.

The Sicilia pizza and spaghetti pepperoni were wonderful. We chose this restaurant based on the reviews, and we weren't disappointed. The waiter was also very polite.

The dish was very good, but not even the size of a children's menu... Very disappointing, the server took it all in stride...

Increíble restaurante con camareros atentos y una decoración acogedora, esto es muy recomendable para los amantes de los primos italianos 👌

La comida y el servicio eran increíbles. Todo desde el momento en que nos sentamos hasta el check fue encantador. Sin duda comería aquí de nuevo. Muy recomendable.

First time in Holland. Issola Bella was excellent. Taste of Sicilia pizza was great. I'm happy to be here 😀

Fantastic experience and amazing food. We will return next time we are in Amsterdam!

lekker eten , gezellige buurt , prima service , vriendelijk personeel,zeker een super aanrader, allen daar heen , ik kom terug

Excellent food and attention. I recommend it

The tenderloin with cream sauce is really great as is the double espresso with tiramisu. Italian beer and a scroppino complete it. Also nice that you don't have to wait long.

Paramos a comer una pizza. Éramos los únicos clientes en el restaurante. Nuestro servidor era amable y la pizza era buena. ¡No estaba contento cuando fui al baño y no había jabón! Esto es inaceptable. Era temprano por la tarde y parecía haber suficiente personal para atender el mantenimiento de los baños.

Excellent cuisine and a timeless setting. If you also love art, you'll enjoy dining in a setting worthy of Gaudi.

Beautiful restaurant with Art Déco character and the food is great!

Honestamente nunca escribas una crítica negativa. . . La comida era bastante buena, pero el servicio absolutamente horrible. Primera vez en Amsterdam - primera noche fue aquí para la cena. Estaba sentado en la parte trasera y esperó 30 - 45 minutos para ser reconocido después de que se cerraron los menús, camarera nunca volvió. El restaurante no estaba demasiado ocupado para un sábado por la noche. Mi hijo quería el desierto pero nunca nos ofrecieron, nunca nos preguntaron si queríamos beber algo. Pedimos agua con nuestra cena y nos cobraron $ 8 por el agua, ¿es esto típico en Amsterdam? ¿Tal vez? Causó nuestra primera impresión de Amsterdam no es genial, muy desagradable. Definitivamente no recomendaría especialmente con tantas opciones gastronómicas en esta área.

Eat here. They make pasta like your Mum would. Can't recommend this place enough. Words don't do justice, so I won't even try.

Especially gnocchi was unforgettable. There is sirculation in restaurant regularly, waitress were very kind and behaved warm.

Cené aquí como parte de un grupo de mujeres. La comida era deliciosa! Todo estaba recién hecho y las porciones eran generosas. El personal era muy servicial con nuestro gran grupo. Algunos de nuestro grupo regresaron por segunda noche. Gracias por una gran noche!

Authentic Italian. Good homemade ravioli dishes and pizza. Staff very friendly. No kids menu but they can adapt to suit. Very much recommended.

Very nice place! Food was good, you get way more than you pay for. Staff were all very friendly🫶🏻 and helpful when the pin machine didn't work. Big shoutout to the waitress with the ACDC shirt :) Groetjes uit Wageningen🩷🍋

We've been here twice during our visits to Amsterdam. We liked that we always arrived to find there were always tables available. It's spacious, and the service is quick. The pizzas are very good, and the spaghetti is also delicious. I also really liked the tiramisu for dessert. I think it's a good place to have dinner and relax. The food is also good quality, as is the prompt service from the waiters.

Buen restaurante italiano, con una gran variedad de platos. Todo está cocinado en la habitación principal, está recién hecho. Sin embargo, los precios son tranquilos altos.

We had dinner here yesterday, Friday February 21, 2025, before a visit to the Carré theater. The restaurant is very attractively decorated, with beautiful walls and ceilings. We were kindly received by a young waiter who served us for the rest of the evening. The food is fantastic, truly authentic and tasty Italian dishes. We enjoyed an anti pasti starter with a delicious white wine. The cannelloni was freshly prepared and incredibly tasty. The dessert was also very tasty. Upon departure we were offered a delicious glass of Limoncello. The prices are very reasonable, we initially thought that our bill was incorrect because the amount was much lower than expected. Isola Bella is highly recommended if you want to eat delicious and authentic Italian food in the middle of Amsterdam. Thanks for a nice evening!

The food was very tasty, although on the pricey side. There was very little sting in the drink. The staff was very friendly.

Great food, service good reasonable price...

Hi me and my other half are from uk we stubble across this place wow the Survice, atmosphere was perfect and the food is amazing proper Italian food, what a little gem of a restaurant, the carbonara and the sausage pasta,both was cooked to perfection, and the meats and cheese was very nice

Great Restaurant with amazing option and is their since 1960. Serve legacy with taste. The people taking order and helping out are also very nice. The way they say Gracias ☺️ wow. Apart from food I got full with gratitude and love 😘. Tried pasta , fried mushrooms and Brucetta

It was fantastic , the best pizza ever

Excellent pasta. Very good service. Possibly one of the best spaghetti I have ever eaten, superb. I advise you to visit this restaurant. Hugs

The food at Isola Bella was fine, but the portions were on the small side. The food was served quickly, which was nice. However, the service varied per employee: some were very friendly, while others seemed less hospitable.

Me and my friends had a tonno and a pepperoni pizza. Cheese was not good, not soft all the way and very greasy. 4/5 stars is way to much. Service was good tho.

If you like Italian food, run away! It’s clearly not Italian and the salt shaker fell into the pan. The pizzas are bland and not cooked and the ragù vida is very hard. The prices are excessive for Domino’s Pizza.

Surprising restaurant with open kitchen and delicious food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices

Just a good restaurant, I had a good ragu myself, other dishes from our table companions were also good.

I've been coming here for years and I always leave very satisfied. The food is great and the service is always very friendly and very good! I would absolutely recommend this.

Good mat. Altid hyggelig. Vert der både på sommer og vinter. Smilende folk som jobber der. Anbefaller og teste ut resturant

The lasgna and pepperoni pizza were lively but the real stars of the show were the desserts! The tiramisu was one of the best I had and the Zapaione truffle was to die for!! The staff was so lovely as well

Une vrai cuisine italienne avec de vrai italien. Belle découverte dans un lieu unique , à la mémoire de ce lieu , Isola Bella , lieu mythique. Très gustative et très bonne , un vrai régal

The experience was not very pleasant. The waiter was very friendly and the food was delicious. But the cook was smoking in the kitchen and there are mice in the restaurant.

The food is absolutely incredible and the staff are lovely! We’ve been every time we come to visit Amsterdam

I ordered the grilled chicken dinner, the chicken texture and amount of cooking time was perfect, absolutely no spices on the chicken and the broccoli was over cooked, all you could taste was onions, very disappointed.

Very cozy place with great italian food.

Great food,great ambiance.We ate here during our stay.Many thanks to Sara for the hospitality.🇭🇷

What a beautiful restaurant and very nice people. Definitely worth eating there.

Lovely food and reasonably priced

Very hospitable staff and tasty affordable pasta!

On a quiet Friday, had the best carbonara that I can remember!! Quick, easy service

Very disappointed with the food and service. Myself and two friends found the food to be bland. I had ordered a large sprite which was flat, when I pointed this out the glass was topped up but still flat, when I complained again was told it was out of bottles but never had sprite like this. My mate was charges €7,50 for water - ok on the menu but still very expensive for water. The Pollo Pasta dish was very bland and tasteless and most was left. My friend’s pizza lacked any source and again most left. The service was lacking and as above, we was left surprised how a complaint was handled.

An average Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. Pizza is a very nice choice. The chef is a real Italian who knows how to cook. Give it a try. You will love it.

Isola Bella es un buen lugar para una gran pizza italiana o plato de pasta en el corazón de Amsterdam. Siempre nos sentábamos fuera, ya que las mesas están protegidas por un dosel por lo que estábamos muy cómodos incluso cuando llovía. En su mayoría comimos pizza y pasta en este restaurante, y nos pareció que era un lugar bastante fácil y cómodo para comer durante las vacaciones. La ubicación del restaurante es en una gran plaza de colores donde se puede ver la vida de la ciudad de Ámsterdam pasar mientras se come. La comida era generosa en porciones y de buen sabor. No para aquellos que están buscando una buena cena, pero este es para familias y cualquiera que quiera comer buena comida mientras está en movimiento sin recurrir a llevar.

Excellent pizzeria restaurant. Beautiful terrace overlooking a quiet, wooded square. The pizzas are very good and plentiful. The service is friendly and the prices are fair. We had a great time. I recommend.

La terrasse était accueillante, il restait une table pour deux, on avait faim et manger Italien nous tentait bien. Bon ben voilà. Le repas bof bof, pas vraiment mauvais (un petit citrate m'a quand même bien aidé à le digérer), mais pas vraiment bon non plus. Insipide, sans intérêt autre que de combler notre appétit. Vin du même niveau et je ne suis pas convaincu du coté maison du dessert. Tarif pas si bon marché compte tenu de la médiocrité de l'ensemble. L'exemple type du restaurant à touristes.

Rude waiter who doesn't know how to deal with guests. Tip: changed jobs

We ordered a baked canneloni and a filet mignon. Both dishes were great!

Restaurant servant jusqu à tard le soir, le personnel est accueillant et agréable. La pizza était généreuse et délicieuse.

We ordered a light salad, and the sauce was only olive oil and thick. We also ordered a lasagna, which was delicious, but the salmon was a bit greasy.

Super service and delicious food! Recommended! Well prepared meat, delicious homemade pasta (tortelli), Italian service.

I was disappointed given the Google rating. The food was bland. The salmon was over-cooked. The vegetable and potato sides were very small. They outright refused to serve tap water and charged 7,50 for a bottle of water. That would be illegal in France.

You can find delicious Italian flavors here. The food is very delicious. I wouldn't recommend going inside, but it's nice to sit outside 👌

Pizza is like from Albert Heijn.

Very expensive. 8€ for a 0,33l beer is definitely to much.

The foccacia wasn't real foccacia, just thin pizza bread with garlic. The Spaghetti Aglio Olio tasted bland and the basil was burnt. My friend's Quattro Stagioni pizza was absolutely carelessly topped. Later we wanted to order bread, but there was “no more left”. No bread left?

We only drank one beer, the waiter didn't open his mouth. A pity

Good little Italian in a tourist spot serving authentic Italian food with sensible prices. Staff are friendly and helpful but I do feel that they took the piss a bit when I ordered pineapple on my pepperoni pizza and destroyed good Italian food. I did deserve it!

Very tasty authentic Italian dishes … located in a vibrant area…. Outdoor seating is amazing…. Staff where extremely helpful in preparing low protein ( Msud) pasta

Delicious lasagna, great place, nice staff, real Italian. Also reasonable prices.

Tasty food for a good price. Real Italian!!

Delicious! The taste of the food was 10/10 😍 we were super pleased, the amount of food was also very good!

I loved the pizzas, very delicious and tasty. I just didn't like the soft drinks.

Super experience, bachelor party, went to dinner with 9 ladies. Super atmosphere, top service. Great experience, delicious food

What a great evening my friends and I had. Delicious food, fast good service with lots of goodies from the house! Super nice atmosphere and helpful staff! We will definitely come back again 🙏

Last Friday I was here with my girlfriend for her bachelor party. How wonderful it was! The food, atmosphere, and staff were great. They really made the party complete. Thank you for pampering my girlfriend so much; the bachelor party was completely complete because of you!

This place is really good. They're located in a busy district. Great place to people watch! The owners are super Italian. Very good hospitality and fresh pasta.

Good authentic restaurant, outdoor table on a clear square. Service a little long but very nice home cooking with fresh products. Very good.

Set just off Rembrandt Place, this is a well established authentic Italian. This was our last dinner in Amsterdam and we had established that it is quite pricey. This, however was probably the best value of the places we ate at. Plenty of outside seating, but we chose to eat inside which was fairly quiet. We shared a bruschetta and followed up with penne salmone and tagliatelle pollo and finished with tiramisu. Everything was typically Italian, the decor, service and food, with the past being especially good.

Restaurant with decent cuisine, however the prices are excluding tax (not indicated) and the waiters are extremely unpleasant.

Mediocre Carbonara, worst of my life. Rude waiter. To avoid

Extremely expensive for the quality and portion size. The unfriendly young man. I would not go back.

The pizzas we ordered were very tasty and reasonably priced. Fresh ingredients and freshly baked!

Frankly not good, place to avoid...plus, the staff is not friendly!

Really mediocre food, we had the impression of disturbing the waiter when we asked him for something, quite high price for the contents of the meal,…. definitely not to go if you come to Amsterdam!

Very good Italian restaurant, warm welcome, good food, very pleasant time

Friendly and kind staff, nice interior, good prices. I ordered a Tortello Noci e Gorgonzola with a glass of house wine and everything was delicious and fresh. I’d be back and recommend this place!

Nice simple fulfilling italian style food. You cannot go wrong with pasta.

Very tasty food.highly recommended. Every time we are in Amsterdam.

Tasty Italian dishes of excellent quality. There is an open kitchen.

Het personeel is super vriendelijk. Je hoeft niet lang op je eten te wachten. En de pasta is huisgemaakt en goede kwaliteit. Zeker niet te duur. Komen zeker terug

Terrible! Just awful!!! Pizza wasn't homemade! 🤢 They just slapped half a can of pineapple on it...☹️😵‍💫 My tomato soup tasted like cardboard. This is not a “restaurant”! Overpriced. Old school atmosphere. Not recommended! Any review that says something different is bought!

You should try Isola Bella pizza. Every pizza person knows that the secret of the pizzas is the sauce with natural tomato sauce. Really appreciated.

A lovely find with delicious food!

Best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. The food was incredible and affordable. The owner and his staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend!

Parmesan pasta prepared in front of us in the parmesan wheel with fresh basil. It was very very good and the servers were fun, I recommend 100%

The italian cuissine was on the top…italiano vero .Couldn’t asked more…

Very good food, kind staff, and beautiful ambiente. A place to come back

Really good authentic Italian food. Great food and excellent friendly service

Restaurant open late, and full, good dishes.

We got a table for four at short notice without a reservation. The mozzarella caprese as a starter was okay. Served and garnished a bit carelessly - but could be eaten as usual. Pasta was ordered four times as the main course. Unfortunately, all four pasta dishes were very bland and tasteless. Unfortunately the quality of the food is too low for the price.

It is the best Italian restaurant to visit in Amsterdam. Its pizza dough is very thin and delicious. If you come to Amsterdam, you can visit this place with your eyes closed.

Good pizzeria dating from the 80s, apparently popular with Amsterdammers

Great food and service as normal, reasonably priced.
