Osteria Bella Ciao Oud-West in Staatsliedenbuurt

We had a wonderful meal with our six kids, friendly service, and delicious food. The only downside is the door and the cold air that comes from it when it opens.

Tasteful music, excellent service and beautiful interior. What a wonderful establishment. One of the hidden pearls of the city.

The food was delicious! The dishes were flavorful, and the tiramisu was truly perfect—I haven't tasted such a good tiramisu in a long time. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

I had the "Gamberi al burro" here, and it was truly fantastic! The flavors were perfectly balanced—fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff who truly care about their guests. I'll definitely be back; highly recommended!

Definitely try the pizza and risotto. The atmosphere is great, the seating is spacious and clean, and every bite makes you feel like you're in Italy. You should definitely try it.

Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been too. Incredible food, the best service, I would recommend this to everyone I know! I’ve never had better tiramisu in my life.

Good food, very helpful service!

Had a wonderful evening here, the food was above expectations, big portions so watch out. The staff was lovely and there was no rush to finish and leave like in so many places in Amsterdam...

Absolutely incredible! This restaurant is recently opened 3 months ago and it is a must-try. Every dish was divine and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend!

One of the best Italian restaurants in Amsterdam with an attractive and diverse menu and a very kind staff. We really enjoyed the food.

We had a top experience at Rosso Bianco yesterday. We went for lunch and ordered pizza, and it was just perfect. The base was thin and crispy, so you don't feel all heavy and sluggish afterwards while you're exploring Amsterdam. I had the Pizza Rosso and it was a yummy vegetarian option that I'd definitely recommend. The music and the general atmosphere created a lekker vibe, making it a good spot for a date with my husband. One thing I really appreciated was the timing. You know how sometimes you go for pizza and it arrives so fast you feel like you're on a conveyor belt? It wasn't like that at all here. The pacing was just right. Overall, the staff really friendly and the service was great. A five-star visit!

While the atmosphere and the service were very good, the food was not. We had a starter, 2 dishes of pasta and we shared them. First of all, the frutti di mare pasta had a lot of Parmesan both in the sauce and on top while cheese was not mentioned in the menu and my partner is lactose intolerant.. In addition, after our dinner we both experienced serious belly annoyance and difficulty in digestion. Note here that I am not intolerant to anything and my stomach is very resistant to any food…

This place has been taken over, and now everything is worse. Terribly bad service! Unfriendly waiter and broken Dutch. The pizza is meager for the price. Not worth the money! I don't recommend it!

Been there a few times already and their food and service is awesome!

Hospitality and service at this restaurant are subpar. Upon entering, every Dutch-speaking guest is yelled at because the waiter doesn't speak Dutch. It doesn't make you feel welcome. Then, it takes a long time for food to come out of the kitchen, and when it does arrive, it's wrong. Only four out of five restaurants were occupied, yet two tables received the wrong dishes, and others waited too long for their food. One guest even waited so long that they simply took their food away. You keep staring at empty glasses; no one comes to ask if you want another drink. At one point, we were even completely alone in the restaurant. Food: bruschetta was unfortunately served on toasted cornbread, and the pastas were okay but nothing more. A disappointing evening.

Update (3rd revision): It seems the owner is trying to discredit my review — a pattern you’ll notice if you read how they respond to anyone giving less than 5 stars. For the record: I visited on July 2 at 20:07 and paid €56 for two pizzas and a beer. I can provide the invoice as proof. Claiming that unhappy guests were never there is dishonest. Even more worrying: many of the 5-star reviews use identical or clearly photoshopped photos, which strongly suggests fake reviews. This feels like a scam operation. Be careful. Update (2nd revision): In response to the owner: I visited 3–4 weeks ago and paid nearly €60 for two people. The pizza tasted like it had been frozen, with a few toppings added on top. That’s not fresh — and definitely not worth €30 per pizza. Rather than threatening customers, try focusing on your food quality. Original review: They serve what seems like frozen pizza with toppings added for €60 for two people — a complete rip-off, even by Amsterdam standards. Poor quality and not worth the money. If you’re in the area, I recommend Bella Storia around the corner — fresh wood oven pizza for almost half the price. Much better quality and service.

An unforgettable culinary journey! Dining at Rosso Bianco was like being transported to the heart of Italy. Every dish was bursting with exotic spices, vibrant flavors, and stunning presentation. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the service was outstanding—from the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to help us lift our stroller into the restaurant. A truly thoughtful touch that set the tone for an amazing evening.

The food was truly delicious, everything was excellent. Friendly service, nice atmosphere.

Fantastic food with good service! After some nice pasta we got some very nice tiramisu and of course limoncello!

Great! Authentic Italian cuisine. Highly recommended.

We went as a family and the staff welcomed us with the friendliest of faces. The service, food and ambiance were excellent. It deserves the value for everything. We will definitely visit again soon.

Everything was great. Thank you.

New owner, new menu, but it remains a more than excellent Italian restaurant in a beautiful location with excellent service. And very affordable. The pizza and risotto were perfect.

I’m a neighbor and was disappointed by how unwelcoming the staff were. I was asked if I was alone, then immediately told the pizza would take 25 minutes after I sat down no greeting, no warmth. I left and won’t be returning.

Great place! Proper good food, service-minded staff, and a good venue. Also affordable for what you get.

They have been open for 3 weeks now. We had a great meal and it is a good successor to the previous restaurant.

Amazing food and ambience👌 Vintage oldies playing in the background, elegant decorations, big portions and kind, friendly staff. Highly reccommend!

The food, atmosphere, and staff were amazing,I liked it here

The owner of legendary flavors that we can't replace in Istanbul... We can't wait to come, visit and taste that delicious flavor again🧿🩵🎉

The food was brilliant and the staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I was disappointed that I couldn't try their pizzas as I planned lunch. Will go again for dinner

Great, amazing place with great food and even very nice staff! see you soon Osteria Bella Ciao

I advise all Dutch and non-Dutch people, and especially all Italians who want to savor the typical flavors of Italy, to book a table and not miss the opportunity to spend a pleasant evening. Top service, excellent food and the right atmosphere are the perfect mix that made the evening unique, to be repeated. Starting from the professional and always smiling waiters Paola and Daniele who, despite the restaurant being full, were able to manage us customers in the best possible way, satisfying our requests with speed, promptness and attention to detail, not to mention the best part, the food with 100% Italian ingredients. We started with an Italian appetizer, a bruschette mix and an octopus of which I don't remember having ever eaten one so good. The Italian appetizer consisted of a platter with an immensity of delicacies, from the typical aubergine parmigiana to cheeses, continuing with the much-loved cured meats, burrata and grilled vegetables. To then continue with the main course, I personally went for the traditional one, a truly delicious plate of paccheri with lobster, my friends tried a classic fillet with a side of potatoes, sea bass and risotto with prawns, and how could we not miss a "Bella Ciao" pizza to share with a perfectly made dough and a truly particular and unique flavour. Even though we were full we wanted to continue with dessert, it absolutely couldn't be missing 😁😍. We took 4 and decided to share them, from the classic of classics, the tiramisu, continuing with the panna cotta, continuing with the chocolate soufflé (my favorite) and finishing with the Nutella semifreddo. We then finished with an excellent espresso and homemade limoncello, delicious 💯 We will return as soon as possible. Lastly, I really wanted to thank the owners Giorgia and Enzo who made us feel truly at home with their hospitality and kindness. Thanks for the nice experience

Very Beautiful restaurant in Amsterdam , excellent food , excellent service I was really impressed by the restaurant🌻 The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. the strong point of the place is the authentic Italian kitchen you have the opportunity to enjoy typical traditional products Last night I tasted the dish Panciotti della Nonna and it was an explosion of flavours. Love it .The pizza is really good I love it 🍕 The panna cotta was the final touch of a very tasty dinner. I highly recommend this place to all lovers of good food!🍷 And The wine was from Italy very good one , the cocktails 🍸 I love it Thanks everyone very good done ❤️🔝

Wow. This was SUPER disappointing experience. 60+EUR for 1. Red tuna tatare. It was the worst tuna tatare I had in my life... It was literally old (not fresh at all) tuna with salty salt. It had no taste at all, not to mention the texture. Damn have You ever heard of capers or lemon? 2. Polpo/pulpa/octopus (check the photo) Tiny, Tiny, Tiny portion of octopus... Tapas size. It was OK 5/10. 3. Bottle of water. I give 1* for the service. Waiter was amateur working part time. Brightest point of the lunch.

Food was great! But service is too slow. It took 30 mins to get 1 pizza and 1 pasta + they charge for tap water (1 euro!) (Prices shown there include a 30% discount from the fork)

It's one of the best places I have ever been! The food, atmosphere, and staff were amazing!

I had just eaten a lot of local food and wanted a nice Italian risotto. Never has there been a more appropriate choice! Optimal. My wife ate the sea bream and my son the pizza. In addition to the versatility of the Italian dishes and in any case all very good, the staff and owner were praised for their kindness and helpfulness, it felt like being at home! Highly recommended.

Very warm welcome and very good service! We had a pasta with black garlic and another one with a ragout with octopus. The pastas were really good! Also we had a tiramisu for dessert which was enjoyable as well. For drinks I had a proper made Negroni and my girlfriend choose a white wine by the glass (they had a lot of wines by the glass). The team was really passionate and really put their heart in to the place.

Very, very tasty, super nice service, we would love to come back 💐☀️

Very nice staff and the food was a dream, quiet corner to enjoy!!

I sat outside for 30 minutes and no one came To serve Me

Very tasty dinner tonight. Super friendly service. Tasty cappuccino. In short, completely satisfied, we will come back.

Delicious pizza! Run by Italians. You really feel like you're in Italy for a moment 🇮🇹🍀

Delicious food. Genuinely Italian.

Great Italian restaurant! - There is a good variety of food options, between pasta and pizzas. We had the orecchiette and one calzone with mushroom and prosciutto, they were both very tasty and quite abundant with regards to portions. - If you keep in mind the quality of the dishes, I believe that prices are actually slightly lower than an average Italian restaurant! Very affordable dishes overall - Atmosphere inside is lovely, can be very romantic but also informal, suitable for a date or for a more laid back hang out with friends. Really like the design of their interiors and the lighting, I find it very aesthetic! - Location wise is a bit outside the city center, just below westerpark and a bit outside Jordaan, so if you are in the area and look for a good Italian restaurant this is the place! - Staff was all Italian and very helpful and kind! Definitely recommend giving it a shot!

The Service was super friendly and always checked if things were okay. Food recommendations were top and they were super polite. The Food is really good, Pizza was top! I had a special Pasta menu and it was really creamy! Ambient is really nice, classic and mood is great

Great Italian waiter and food is really good and fresh. You will enjoy.

Todo el personal italiano hace de este restaurante un auténtico lugar. La comida es fresca y sabe muy bien. Me encantó el ambiente vibrante e íntimo

Cant express enough what a great time my friends and I had. Everything was amazing, especially the service (is quite hard to find good service in the NL). The food and hospitality were through the chart. Highly recommend.

Very high quality food, excellent atmosphere for a dinner with friends and family, excellent service, beautiful culinary experience!!! Grandma's waistcoats and 3 chocolate mousse are highly recommended!!

We visited this place on March 1 2025: * The place smelled a bit like a bathroom in the main hall * The food tasted ok, but the portion was too small for the price * On the same day, my partner felt severe stomach pain and nausea after eating Linguine alle Vongole (the one with clams)

Amazing staff and food! Can only recommend it to everyone. The only small feedback is the smell of baby lotion when you come in, but you stop noticing it pretty quickly.

We recently had lunch at Osteria Bella Ciao and the experience was truly pleasant. The focaccia with bottarga and mozzarella foam is simply delicious, a perfect balance of flavours. We chose two first courses: pasta with Genoese sauce, offered on the menu of the day, and orecchiette with Trapani-style pesto. Both dishes were rich in flavor and prepared with quality ingredients. Excellent service with friendly and welcoming staff. A place to return to with pleasure!

Excellent place with excellent services and tasty food

Excellent service, Danielle was very kind and friendly!

Great tent. And that calzone, fantastic.

Very welcoming and friendly staff, especially Daniele! The service was fast, the orecchiette delicious and the staff very helpful with the wine selection. Will definitely go back to try the tiramisu and some limoncello!

Very nice people, all Italian place and the pizza was TOP!

Delicious food here! The octopus (starter) is highly recommended! The risotto had a nice taste, but the rice itself was still a bit undercooked. The pizzas were fine. Staff were very attentive and friendly, but upon entering we felt very rushed to order. We had only been sitting for maybe 5-10 minutes and they had already come by three times to ask if we were ready to order. Other than that, it was otherwise fine.

Tonight's experience was fantastic. After doing some research, my girlfriend and I chose to eat at the Osteria Bella Ciao. We started with a Burrata and Octopus. Yummy! Quality of the Burrata exceptional, and the octopus was cooked to perfection and delicious. The first ones we tried were Orecchiette alla Trapanese and Tagliolino al Nero and both tasted really fantastic. Lastly, the three chocolate cake and tiramisu were the icing on a sublime dinner. Beautiful location with large windows and staff with truly pleasant courtesy and attention. Surely when we return to Amsterdam it will be the place we visit first! Thank you with all my heart!

Pretty good restaurant with an interesting menu — definitely worth checking out, though slightly more expensive than average. The pastas we tried had rich flavor and a complex taste, but they were a bit greasy for our liking. The tiramisu was fantastic — they did a great job with adding tiny crunchy bits inside. The cappuccino was well-made with proper foam. Staff was nice, but atmosphere felt a bit lonely - the place is too spacious in my opinion. But that’s a minor thing. If prices were a bit cheaper and pasta less greasy, I would give it 5 stars.

The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! Daniele was so nice and really made the night extra special

An excellent and pure Italian restaurant. Pure since all the staff is Italian. You notice this in its hospitality and the dedication and quality of its food!

Very nice Italian food here! Also staff is very hospitable and friendly. I would recommend this place!

The restaurant staff were super nice and the atmosphere is great. The food was super good and delicious. Very recommended

The dishes are really good and the service impeccable especially the waiter; too kind and too smiling 🫶🏽

The restaurant offers quality products and dishes with an excellent flavour, with attention to detail. However, the portions are a little smaller than the asking price. The restaurant has good Italian quality food, and everything tastes really good. The only downside is that the portions are a bit small for the price.

All very good, fast friendly and helpful service, real Italian cuisine, the ricotta flakes are sensational!

Service was great!! Real Italians :)

Super top food, as an Italian I can say that it exceeds expectations. Highly recommended, especially the "fixed" menu with a super honest price for the quality of the products.

All dishes excellent. Impeccable service from both Paola and Daniele, as well as the owners, who are very attentive to the customer. I will definitely return, highly recommended.

Nice staff and very good food, good guys..I highly recommend

Good food, nice people and a great place for a very good price.

Very good food and amazing waiter!

Super welcoming and very good value for money! 🔝

Pizza was tough pasta not particularly same for the teramisu. It wasn't bad but for the price I would have gone to another Italian before

Cozy environment! Polite and friendly staff. Daniele was one of those waiters that we all wish would serve us, Chef Giuseppe Top! restaurant to absolutely recommend. Well done everyone.

La segunda vez que estuvimos allí. El servicio es muy bueno y el personal muy amable. El menú es variado y la comida es excelente👌

There was only one waitress, so it took time for the food to get to the table. Otherwise everything was great

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and a very calm and pleasant setting. I had the Denver pizza and it could have had a little more toppings but overall a great experience.

Very nice and cozy Italian restaurant with tasty dishes and desserts

Very good Italian restaurant. The pizza was excellent as well as the pasta. The tiramisu was really good and we highly recommend it. The only downside was the prices which were relatively high but which can be understood.

Beautiful linguine vongole, great wines and lovely friendly service - grazie ❤️

I have not written many reviews but I really wanted to let everyone know how nice the food was but also how all the staff was very friendly! I would really recommend this place to others :)

The boss ( Spanish Lady I think ) was extremely disrespectful towards me. Im a Uber Eats driver and she acts like im a sub-human. I was just trying to help out and help with a problem. There is nothing wrong with the employees they are fine. But the boss is really disrespectful.

Cené con mi novio anoche. Increíbles cócteles y comida, el lugar se ve muy bien también. El personal era muy acogedor y hospitalario. Definitivamente volveré.

I had dinner with my boyfriend last night. Amazing cocktails and food, the place looks very nice as well. The staff was very welcoming and hospitable. Will definitely return.

This place was a real gem of a find. The food was amazing. Fresh pasta, need I say more. The staff were so kind and helpful. One was from Napoli. You could tell he really loved the food and was so passionate about the menu. Thanks for a great first dinner in Amsterdam! We will be back

Really tasty pizza! Also the cocktails were good. Service was okay bit it was a busy Friday evening. Would recommend!

We dined in on a Friday evening and ordered burrata, pizzas and pasta to share. The staff were hospitable and attentive; the pizza was good, though the squid ink pasta fell a bit short of my expectations. Overall, it’s a nice Italian spot for dining out.

The pizza was very tough, bland, black edges and impossible to cut with a knife. Very bad. The service was very nice. Due to the poor quality we did not have to pay for the pizza. Only the drinks are paid for. That was very nice. We had reserved via TheFork and arrived a little early. That was no problem. But our evening was ruined. I saw that the restaurant had given a no show on TheFork so we couldn't post a bad review. So we're going to solve this.

Amazing Food and Service, a great moment !

Amazing place with great food and even better staff!

A stylish Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. We gave a chance to Chef’s selection of a 3-course menu. Beef tartare, truffle gnocchi and tiramusu were soo good!! Cannot wait to try their pizzas 🍕

Had a delicious meal here last night with fine wine, a super cozy atmosphere and incredibly friendly and cordial service. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back.

Delicious, high-quality Italian food. Good, friendly service. And the desserts are excellent. And what is very important to me is the excellent expresso.

The atmosphere is good. Tasty fresh squid-ink pasta with spicy sauce, but disappointed with the tiramisu.

Really good Place! We enjoyed Everything pretty much!

Pizzas were great and service amazing !

Ozan and Daniele are amazing bartenders in there and the good were amazing
