Pasta Plaza in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Rarely have I been so disappointed by a meal

Everything was perfect! Delicious sweets, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

Very unfriendly staff, ordered churros. Waited half an hour at the table, they were always arguing, they all left. I kept waiting, at a certain point we asked them how our churros were, they looked at me, and asked me what do you want? I told them what I ordered, they didn't even know what I had ordered anymore, the price is very expensive, dirty and rude. Rating -1, avoid going there!!!

Horrible, stay away from a place like this!! Rude staff, exorbitant prices, zero cleanliness and order! After waiting half an hour for a portion of churros, we complained, and they didn't even know they were supposed to make them for us anymore!! No comment 🤬🤬

so scammy they charged 15 euros for a single stroop waffle that was so mediocre very disappointed

Dirty, disgusting, and priced ridiculously. €15 for a crepe.

13.50 euros for this, with black banana, poor presentation and terrible service

Of all the places in Amsterdam, this has probably got to be the most GARBAGE place of all. 10 euro for a stale and tasteless stroopwaffle— served by a disgruntled, unappreciative worker.

Run away!!!! Big thieves, the prices are too high, never seen before, almost 20 euros for just a cup with strawberries!!! Never again

Horrible! The personnel is unkind and they play very loud music!

Just as we were deciding, we got a strange look. When we tried to order a banana milkshake (which was listed on the menu), he said he didn't have it. He mentioned other flavors that weren't on the menu. We chose a strawberry milkshake and a mango milkshake. Before we knew it, they were ready, and we hadn't even heard a blender running, just cabinets opening. These were small milkshakes for which we paid €15. The strawberry milkshake didn't taste like a regular strawberry milkshake. The mango one contained a lump of powder with an intense mango flavor—just instant powder. It also contained small, black seeds that aren't found in mangoes. While we were finishing our drink, a customer we suspected was trans came in. The kitchen staff laughed at this person after they came to check on us. The cashier also laughed in their faces, covering their mouth with their hand to try and hide it. The employees were still chatting among themselves in Arabic, which the customer apparently understood, and certainly didn't appreciate it, so he left the store. The restroom was also extremely dirty and unsanitary. It was also terribly expensive (18 euros for a cup with strawberries and a little chocolate sauce). Definitely not recommended!

Horrible. Worst place I’ve been ever. 16€ for an old, dry and disgusting waffle without pricing list. I think the guys just made up the price depending on your tourist face, and they tell you the price while laughing. I hope you close forever soon.

Don't eve try to go.i don't know how they are still in business

Terrible!!! Stay away! A real scam! Just paid 24 euros for 2 strawberry satays. They don't show you the price on the payment terminal. I should have read the reviews here first. I also read that there are tons of hygiene issues. The food inspection department needs to address this. How can this place even still exist?

🛑🛑🛑🛑SCAM🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑 Worst dining experience of my life! €15 for a 6-month-old waffle.... If you have any self-respect, move on. 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑

A Nutella pancake for €11, inedible. Covered in disgusting chocolate sauce (not Nutella). Inedible pancake. Simply awful.

A tourist trap like I never thought I'd encounter again. Avoid immediately. €29 for a waffle, a Coke, and a coffee. No price displayed. I wonder if this is even legal.

This establishment should be flagged to the authorities for the damage it's doing to tourism in Amsterdam. It is nothing short of a scam. Out of the three overpriced waffles we ordered—each costing an absurd amount—not one was even remotely edible. The texture was rubbery and artificial, almost plastic-like, and completely unfit for consumption. We were charged nearly €50 for what can only be described as a disgraceful attempt at food. On top of that, the staff was incredibly rude, dismissive, and seemed annoyed at having to serve anyone at all—making the experience even worse than the food itself, which is saying something. Tourists deserve better than this kind of blatant exploitation. Places like this give Amsterdam a bad name and should be held accountable.

‼️‼️Scam warning ‼️ ‼️ We ordered 4 cups of coffee, 2 cakes, 2 chorus and 1 banana smoothie,,,, and we were shocked we paid 95 eu and didn't receive the banana smoothie,,, the drinks and drinks were terribly sweet, the language barrier made us not understand what we had to pay and we couldn't ask for the bill because they didn't want to communicate in English and only wanted to speak their native language plus body language🤬🤬🤬 🆘🆘🆘 I don't understand why the government allows such a scam shop to exist in the middle of a beautiful city. ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

This must be the worst AND most expensive stroopwafel in Amsterdam. Stale and soggy. Barely edible. AVOID.

Scammers. 2 sweets cost 25 euros.

A strawberry and custard tart! 13 euros for a poor-quality product... I don't recommend it.

Extremely rude staff and overpriced.

AVOID !!! Biggest scam and the rudest encounter of our whole trip: €10 for 2 takeaway coffees. When canceling the order, you're waved out in the most disrespectful way. This place should be shut down immediately. Those guys have no souls.

Horrible prices for poor quality, run away

LOTS of food!! €11 for a Nutella crepe, not even good! Don't go there at all!!

AVOID THIS PLACE! ”I never wanted to rate an establishment so low. Not only was the waffles bad and the prices high. But the worker would throw around the food with such anger. It seemed he was upset to serve customers. This was one of the only times I had a negative experience in Amsterdam.

37 euros for 2 waffles A tourist trap to avoid

Rude staff, we sat down to eat a dessert and they put on the music of their homeland and sang. Their sweet "garbage" is simply stale and overpriced. When we asked the employee for a product list, he replied that there was none. Of course, it's our fault for sitting down and giving value to this chicken coop!!!

Very bad place. Tourist trap. Be aware !

Attention!!! Here you will be cheated and ripped off!!! After buying three items the third remained inside the microwave. After asking for my food the guy behind the counter wanted to play and ignore me. Prices are extremly bloated and absolutely no service. I agree with everything all other people say about it this place. Avoid this place. Food is not good quality. City of Amsterdam should close this very bad business down.

Absolutely terrible place. Really loud music and rude staff. We paid €28 for 2 waffles, insane. They definitely saw that we were British tourists and just took the piss. The waffles were taken from display and just heated in a microwave. Not fresh and not tasty. A real shame because they’re in an amazing location. Just a full on scam. AVOID AVOID AVOID

If I could rate lower than 1 star I would! Wish I'd seen the reviews before going in - staff weren't friendly at all, but we ordered some sweet treats anyway and ended up paying €33 for 2x waffles (no ice cream) and a bottle of pop. My waffle was also stale. Absolutely awful place

I have the horror of wanting a waffle when leaving the restaurant opposite. So we paid €21 for a waffle+donut. The problem beyond the price is that it's not even good! It will stand out to me forever I think... This candy is a pure scam with no respect.

Avoid, excessive prices, nothing is fresh and it's just not good.

Total rip off, do yourself a favor and walk down the street to find fresh food elsewhere for half of the price!

Horrible, the Donuts were moldy!! To flee! It’s a tourist trap!! I was fooled like the others... It was simply disgusting and too expensive, €22 for a donut and a small tray of churros!

!!! ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY do not go and enrich these THIEVES by giving them a cent!!!! Worst "restaurant" in Amsterdam by far! A business that doesn't even deserve to exist, the owners must have had their restaurant license in a surprise bag!! €22 for a moldy, soft and inedible donut + a disgusting reheated waffle. No prices are displayed, and they put the TPE directly on your card without of course showing you the screen and its exorbitant prices. I am deeply shocked that such a restaurant exists!!

HORRIBLE ! 14€ for a poor waffle frozen and reheated in the microwave. Disgusting to eat. Prices are not displayed, scammers!!!

FOR SURE NOT A SCAM. Wow what a great place. love that I was lured in to get anything I want at the tip of my fingers and the prices were TOTALLY REASONABLE. My my I just love getting up-charged after seeing a different price on the screen that was quickly turned off after I ordered. I DID NOT FEEL PRESSURED AT ALL by the presence of dealers in the back of the store! I wish I could totally go back. Be sure to get "TOP CHURRO'D" as my friends like to call it. Don't worry there is NO better option within steps from this place. COME SEE FOR YOURSELF!

A store that serves waffles, crepes, and churros The crepe is very delicious, I haven't tried it yet The service was very nice and the guys are honestly great But the price is expensive

Thieves, 15€ per waffle, very excessive price for an industrial waffle not good at all, much too sweet, to avoid absolutely

Don’t go! They totally ripped off tourists. They charged 3 euros for two strawberries, and 3 yuan for the sauce. It tasted bad and was expensive. It was not fresh. Other stores that cost 10 euros were much better than this one. Don’t buy anything from this store, just a rib off of tourists.

Total rip off! Prices are not signposted, service is totally unfriendly and rude. We bought 1 Dubai cup and waffle and paid 50€ and got 18€ back. Since when does a waffle & strawberry cup cost €32?

I WON'T GO SON DON'T GO LIKE A BLOODBOX

0/5 is not an option, so 1/5 it is. Really RUDE stuff, awful food (they reheat it in an oven) and too high prices (13.5 € for 1 waffle that you could hardly chew). Tourist trap - STAY AWAY!!!

Let's hope this disgusting place closes soon... €27 for a waffol and a frappe... starving

10 euro stroopwaffel enough said. Also burnt and dry

Real scammers. A shame for us tourists who entered this place because we were walking the streets of Amsterdam and we were victims of their eagerness. If I could give it 0 stars I would. The food is of very low quality and EXPENSIVE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!

An absolute scam ! 13€ for a shitty waffle.. The man was not friendly at all, avoid this place !

We went there in evening. they charged €42 for two churros with nutella. We only ask for one with sauce and the other without sauce but got two with sauce . We got oasis drink and latte in small cup. The staff were not very friendly. The churros were stale we were barely able to eat any.

How some where can charge 51 euros for 2 lots of churros, 2 can of drink and 2 doughnuts is a joke works out about 2.50 euro each

This store is the biggest rip-off. I ordered a waffle with Nutella and paid €10 for it. The waffle was really small and hard, so it broke into pieces while I was eating it. The employee was also extremely unfriendly. This place actually deserves 0 stars. Don't go there under any circumstances, they make their money from tourists who think they are getting something good for their price!

Read before you go !!! This place is absolutely to be avoided! The prices aren’t even displayed, which makes the experience even more frustrating. On top of that, they are outrageously high, without any justification in terms of quality. I paid €18 for a reheated waffle with a questionable taste, clearly a low-quality product. The Nutella crêpe was disappointing—it tasted like a cheap spread, nothing like the real thing. Worse still, I purchased two bottles of Coke Zero and they had expired five months ago, which is completely unacceptable!! The Health and Hazard department should come check this place … I absolutely do not recommend going and will never return.

Absolutely avoid!! The prices are totally excessive, and this is clearly not justified by the quality of the products. I bought two bottles of coke that were 5 months out of date, which is unacceptable. In addition, the Nutella crepe was not, it looked like a low-end spread, far from what one would expect. The reheated waffle for €18 had a questionable taste and was clearly a poor quality product. In addition, the prices are not even displayed, which makes the experience even more frustrating. I absolutely do not recommend this business and I will never return.

One point is even way too many for this store!! Outrageous prices - as a tourist you are just being ripped off. After we asked them about the price, they discussed it with us and were insulted at the end. I really don't recommend anyone!!!

The driest churros ever, paying €16 for hard churros with just a little bit of white chocolate is ridiculous and also unfriendly to all customers.

Yes, total mistake from my side to just walk in there. I could not believe the price and said out loud that your prices are ridiculous. Feeling really annoyed now.

It is a disgraceful place both for the treatment and the prices. All wrong.

Here the prices are two direct flights

The cashier only looks at the phone and doesn't look at the customers and when you ask for information he replies pissed off. Given his "attention to detail" when we asked for a chocolate topping he gave us the Nutella one... risking an ALLERGIC REACTION... when we pointed it out to him he didn't care. Expensive AF

I give it one star because it is the minimum but it is embarrassing, very expensive and it is junk food. The traditional sweet cost us €15, which other stores offer for €4 and better. DON'T GO, REGRETTABLE

Fraud, we were in Amsterdam and we went to this store by chance. They charged us 15 euros for a Waffle, I felt cheated, since they didn't list the price and when I saw the receipt for what they had charged me, the seller was no longer there. He would even be ashamed, since he had to charge and run into the premises. If you want a typical waffle, go to the local market located to the south at one of the stops on Metro Line 52. The waffle is freshly made and costs 4 euros with Nutella.

Tourist scam!! 14 euros for waffles and 5 euros for coffees and not good service, very unsatisfying

They don’t post prices then charge you for a price higher than the one they tell you. To make things worse, the food is mediocre at best.

Tourism scam! Over 50 euros for 3 stroopwafels and 2 coffees! 1 star because I can't give it 0 stars! Everyone please don't go!

Scam! Avoid at all costs. Prices are not displayed intentionally, and workers just make up with the prices each time. €26 for one stroopwafel and one stick of chocolate covered strawberries. Neither were good.

To avoid unwelcoming staff expensive price for nothing (tourist trap) + do not respect hygiene standards

HORRIBLE. The waffles taste like soap, for €15 I would prefer GOKAN HAN

That's because I can't give less than one star. But the taste of the waffle is terrible, musty taste. The price is not justified €15 1 waffle

Horrible churros and the worst stroopwafels you can eat in Ámsterdam. The personal is not gentle at all.

Price is ridiculous!!! Be aware

Rude and poor food, shameful to say the least. They treat you badly.

Ignorant and rude, they treat customers like fish after having ripped them off. DO NOT GO!

Arab music in the middle of dutch street, terrible service overprixed food

The most expensive and at the same time the worst donut I have ever eaten. 10€ for a donut. A cheeky rip-off!

Good taste of music for Arabic people, sometimes they dance and forget to attend the clients. But they scam us because the music is so loud. Be careful. They scam all the tourist. It’s a tourist trap!!! we’ve been there for two hours and they told us” do you want to sleep here😡😡” Not good attention for the client! I bought €15 for a miserable waffle The chocolate is not even that good. It’s fake Nutella. It’s bad chocolate cheap Quality. Run run don’t go there

I had to sell a kidney to pay for a waffle

Only giving one star as zero wasn’t an option!! Avoid Top Churros near the Red Light District. The pricing is a scam—€30 for two stale waffles. The staff are pushy, rushing you through without giving you time to enjoy anything. It’s a total tourist trap. Don't waste your money.

Too expensive and not even good

The only best thing about this place is their speaker quality.

very bad, I don't recommend it to anyone, dry and disgusting food. rude staff and ultimately too obvious

Way too overpriced. Got charged 30€ for 2 waffles. I couldn’t believe it. I first thought the guy said 13€ which would already be too expensive. But 30€😨? Avoid at all cost🫤

I've never eaten something so disgusting in my life, I'm speechless. Hygiene is also catastrophic.

A shame, I realized while reading the comments after being tricked today that it has been 6 years since such a tourist trap existed in a city like. Amsterdam and no one does anything! establishment is still open! A huge huge scam 3 waffles 1 donuts 3 hot chocolates and a coke 94 euros!!!!!!!!no price displayed!! But if that was all there was to it! We didn't even eat! Impossible disgusting waffles! I wonder how long they had been in the window! 1 month and still. If I could put a 0 and avoid gu such an establishment exists! Scandalous!

Very very expensive. Very poor quality. €5 for a coke, very excessive price of waffles. Reheated waffles that have been hanging in the window for months. Disgusting, there are no other words. Avoid!!!! Waffles with dirty smells, discolored chocolate.

I purchased a portion of white chocolate churros (which was actually poor topping) and a crumble cookie. Prices were not displayed. As for the churros, the flavor wasn't bad, but they cost a whopping €27 for 6/7 pieces! The crumble cookie was tastier and cheaper, only €3, but it was taken from the top of the counter where it had been uncovered and airing for who knows how long. Overall the flavors were acceptable, but due to the very high cost of the churros, the poor hygiene and the fact that the employee at the counter seemed to give more importance to the cell phone rather than to the customers (initially overshadowing my request), I can't give a higher review. Not recommended.

Rude service Very great way to ruin the night

All desserts taste terribly bad, absolutely do not eat desserts here. They also sell them at far too high prices and treat people very rudely. We didn't like it at all.

Far from the store!! It's a trap!! I would put zero if there was!!

I can only confirm all the other negative reviews. So many people with negative experiences speak for themselves. I just hope others are smarter and look at the reviews first. The prices are astronomically expensive and in return you get microwaved food. I don't even want to talk about hygiene. But the terrible service is worth mentioning: I've rarely experienced anything so rude. After I found out the prices with horror on my face, he said I could go again. I would have been happy to do that if I didn't want to disappoint my two small children. The prices are not signposted and you cannot add them up. There is also no item information and price on the invoice, only the final price. I wonder if something like this is even legal. Worst rip-off and really ruins your whole vacation. The city should ban something like that.

No fresh goods, more frozen food. Exorbitant prices Example: waffle for 15 euros.

Tourist scam. Asked for a basic strupwafel and charged €15. Asked for a receipt and he was happy to.provide a general sales receipt for €15 for 'verkoop' or general sales. Rip off and not even that nice. Scammers

Ver expensive churros at 12,50€ starting price !!!! And not good at all !!!!

I obviously hadn't looked at the reviews before coming home. To flee!!! I paid €18 for a reheated waffle, a coke and a small bottle of water. In addition, when paying, he takes care to hide the amount of the TPE.

What an absolute rip off. The troops waffles aren't even made fresh in front if you. Visible prices state starting at 6E. We ordered a plain one and we're charged 10e. Avoid at all costs. If this were to happen again, I would leave the waffle and walk away.

Characterized flight. Avoid at all costs, unless you want to leave an arm there.

Huge scam, €70 for 5 waffles, anything.

We had to pay 28€ for Waffel. The price is very reasonable compared to the general level in Amsterdam. Everyone should check carefully before coming

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW ✋ 🛑 🚩 How this shop stays open is beyond me, wish id looked at the other reviews Was charged £28 euros for a waffle and a cookie Seems like they are doing this to most customers and getting away with it. THIS COMPANY NEEDS OBSERVING VERY CLOSELY AS THEY ARE LITERALLY RIPPING TOURISTS OFF AND GIVING THE PLACE A BAD NAME. If one person sees this review and goes elsewhere then i have lost them a customer and my job is done YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
