Piccolo Mondo in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

The staff quickly and smoothly arranged three small tables on the sidewalk to accommodate 6 of us when we came up with two extra people. The service was outstanding and the food delicious. An excellent Al fresco dining experience on a lovely spring evening in Amsterdam.

Had a terrible spaghetti carbonara, was a very very creamy sauce. Not at all authentic. Also became ill after eating lunch here (23rd March 2025), reading the reviews, seems other people have also been sick after eating here. Serving staff (lady on her own) were nice, shame about the terrible chef.

Excellent pizza and pasta, would recommend

Lovely little Italian joint! By the canal and a little away from the madness

One of the best Italian restaurants 🤌🏻

It is an Italian food restaurant, they have both pizzas and pasta, very good service and good food, the price accordingly.

A cozy place with great Italian food. Everything is fresh and well-prepared, especially the pasta and pizza. The staff is polite and friendly, and the atmosphere is nice. A great spot for dinner in the heart of Amsterdam. Recommend!

Good Italian restaurant, very fast and inexpensive 👍🏼

I had a really nice experience at the restaurant! The service was super quick, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Even though it was quite crowded, they found us a cozy spot by the door. The pasta was delicious and really well made, which was the highlight for us! As for the decor, a little more Italian charm would make it feel even cozier. But when it comes to the food, we were really happy with the quality. Overall, it was a delightful outing!

Great food and excellent service

Was a great and fast service food came out as expected

My lady and I enjoyed our experience at Piccolo Mondo! The appetizers were amazing and we enjoyed sitting outside for two days for about 3 hours each day. It's the perfect place to soak up Amsterdam and enjoy the sights of people enjoying life here. We enjoying the wine, the drinks the atmosphere but most of all we enjoyed Marco Lorene who provided excellent customer service and hospitality.

Unexpected, very tasty food 👌 friendly service, recommended 👍

We visited Picccolo Mondo during our first night stay in Amsterdam on 2/19. Franco was a lovely host! He was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was fantastic, second best Italian food I’ve ever had (first was in Rome, Italy)! We made a reservation, but it wasn’t busy at the time around 8:30pm. The atmosphere and vibe was cozy, warm, and quiet. All the food we tried was authentic, it took me back to Italy and I loved the different menu options for those who have food allergies. My cousin is gluten free, and she had several food options to choose from. She was very well pleased with the selections for her dietary restriction. We all shared the gluten free pizza and it was delicious, I sure didn’t miss the gluten. I had the pasta carbonara and I’m still thinking about it to this day, it was fantastic!! If you’re ever in Amsterdam, please do yourself a favor and stop in at Piccolo Mundo for dinner and to see Franco and his staff you will not be disappointed. Grazie mille!

Ambiente bastante acolhedor e comida farta e gostosa. Pedimos duas pizza e uma massa e estava td muito bom. E fica há 1/2 quadras da região mais lotada e turística. Localização muito boa

The waitress was kind and the spaghetti was delicious. Sometimes the atmosphere where you eat and the behave of the people are as important as the thing you eat. This was the place which was aware of that!

Este era un restaurante ocupado y tuvimos la suerte de encontrar una mesa ya que no habíamos reservado. Decepcionado por el titular. Pedimos Focaccia y esperábamos pan con aceite de oliva pero lo que conseguimos fue una base de pizza bastante seca. Sin embargo, el plato principal compensó esto ya que estaba delicioso. Puedo recomendar el risotto de setas - gran sabor y textura. Pizza también muy buena.

Thank you for the beautiful evenings I spent with you; excellent cuisine, which is Italian, in flavors and beautiful presentation. Very attentive and authentic in the approach to the customer, the service is fast and attentive. Beautiful music and atmosphere, in the heart of Amsterdam to see! Many compliments! On my next visit, I will be sure to come and visit you!

A group of 8 of us had such an amzing meal here, it really did leave us with a great night of memories. The restaurant was warm and cosy with a great selection of drinks. We all had various wines and beers to begin with and there was a good selection to choose from. The staff were all brilliant and very friendly and were all on ball and knew when to ask if you needed anything. The food was amazing, no complaints from any of the 8 of us here. We all ordered different meals and we all loved them as well as starters. I had the prawn stearter and steak main which was cooked exactly how aI asked. I would defiently recommend anyone to come here for what should be a quality fine dining meal. I will definitely return here one day in the future. 5* to Piccolo Mondo from 8 happy guests. Thank you for the memories!

Just perfect :) Top 3 food in Amsterdam what we eat :) super nice service :)

Considering the good reviews, I honestly do not understand why this institution has 4.5 stars. My husband and I ordered pasta with seafood and pasta carbonara. There was sand in the pasta with seafood (I believe that for the price of 24.5), it should not be there. The pasta itself tasted like ordinary store-bought. The prices for such portions and their preparation are overpriced. Maybe other dishes taste better. But the atmosphere in the institution itself was pleasant. The music was good and the service was also good.

Comida deliciosa y un servicio increíble! Tenía los raviolis con espinacas y ricota y mi amigo tenía los espaguetis con mejillones, calamares, almejas y camarones. Ambos platos eran increíbles y recomiendo encarecidamente comer aquí. Sin mencionar un ambiente agradable, iluminado por velas. ☺️

We had a delicious meal with 2 adults and 2 children.

I advise you to take the dish “pollo al tartufo e Parmigiano” its parmesan and truffle sauce is excellent!!!

Vinimos aquí con nuestros amigos. Todos pedimos diferentes platos para poder probar los otros platos. Las pizzas, pasta, camarones, queso, todo estaba delicioso. El servicio fue rápido. El personal era muy amable y comprensivo. Tiramisu también era muy sabroso

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, great service.

Excellent service and delicious dishes!

Lovely service , the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was lovely would definitely recommend

Stay away! All of our party (we were 6) had food poison form this place.

Good atmosphere and delicious food!

We had a delicious meal and the view was beautiful. The pasta was delicious and we will definitely come back again, this restaurant is worth 5 stars. Yennie Greece

Bonnesera, the restaurant was amazing. We ate very good, the food was delicious and had the perfect aroma. The service was very good.We are absolutely coming back here, therefore we are coming back again. We had so much fun in the restaurant. Thanks for the food Piccolo Mondo!

.The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant

Highly recommended! We came here on a Saturday evening without a reservation at around 8 p.m. and were greeted in a very friendly manner. The staff was very attentive and always had a relaxed attitude on their lips.

Was very delicious and the servive was nice👍🏼

Unfortunately, one of the worst pasta experiences I’ve ever had. The food was very bad, pasta overcooked and tasteless. Very expensive and no value for what you pay. I’m shocked this place has a high rating. We went with friends and before we were finished the personnel wanted to leave and made it very obvious, to the point that they would sit and stare at us. We felt uncomfortable and left. We all felt nauseous afterwards.

Une belle adresse en plein centre d’Amsterdam. Service très agréable et rapide. Les viandes sont excellentes. L’accompagnement pourrait être un peu plus généreux.

Very cozy restaurant, small, quiet, in the middle of the amsterdam canal's. Very nice place to have a, somehow romantic, dinner. The atmosphere is very nice with some 80s songs in the radio. The food is great and the service is quite quick.

Excellent and authentic Italian food right in the heart of Amsterdam. Tasty fresh made pasta and fresh made rolls. I’ll be visiting this place on my next visit to Amsterdam.

Beautiful Italian restaurant run by caring, wonderful people! The food was brilliant and the atmosphere was warm with great Italian music in the background. You have to eat here! We had pizza, pasta, fish and enjoyed it. Ciao! Grazie

Very tasty meal. Linguini with pesto was very tasty. Service is excellent. Price was a bit on the high side.

Very nice, quiet restaurant with very tasty pizza

My daughter and I came across this quaint restaurant our first night in Amsterdam ... which was New Year's Eve. They were able to seat us immediately. The menu has a good variety of meals from which to choose; all reasonably priced ... and the most important, the meals we had were absolutely delicious. It was so good in fact, we went back for dinner two nights later. We would highly recommend. ** NOTE: the first two photos, are of our first night dining there on 31/12; the third photo, is of our meal last night 2/1

Beautiful Italian restaurant. Spaghetti bolognaise, spaghetti aglioolio and lasagne with garlic bread

Siamo rimasti assolutamente entusiasti della nostra visita al Piccolo Mondo! L’atmosfera accogliente e il calore del personale ci hanno fatto sentire subito a casa. Il menu offre una splendida selezione di piatti autentici della cucina italiana, preparati con grande passione e maestria. Vorremmo sottolineare in particolare la pasta fatta in casa – semplicemente divina! Anche il servizio è stato impeccabile: attento, cordiale e sempre con il sorriso. Un momento indimenticabile è stato il vino consigliato dal cameriere, perfettamente abbinato ai nostri piatti. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati dall’inizio alla fine e non vediamo l’ora di tornare la prossima volta che saremo ad Amsterdam. Grazie mille al team di Piccolo Mondo – fate un lavoro straordinario!

Very cozy place , amazing food .really fast service.

Tasty pizzas. Good service. Nice restaurant!

Wonderful place with best service, mushroom soup was delicious!

We had a very nice meal in a pleasant setting. Very friendly and smooth service!

Surprisingly very clean and modern for Amsterdam! The food was excellent and the server was very friendly. We will return for another great meal.

Very good food, friendly setting, very knowledgeable server

We loved Piccolo Mondo! A group of six of us had dinner and greatly enjoyed our pizzas and pastas. We recommend the inferno and pepperoni pizzas, as well as the carbonara and Quattro formaggi penne pasta. Everyone was very pleased with the food and the service. Would return!

We were really looking forward to eating here, given the many good reviews. But unfortunately it was very disappointing. Bruschetta with burrata was almost embarrassing, you had to look for the burrata with a magnifying glass and the pesto tasted like the cheapest one in the supermarket. Risotto was tasteless. Everything is also very expensive, but I think that's everything in this area. Shame!

Lovely meal out. Great size portions and great service! We had the carbonara and the mushroom gorganzola and they were excellent. Couldn’t have got any better!

Personeel was keurig correct, echter het eten in dit geval pizza's waren zeer matig , slappe bodem matig belegd. De calzone pizza was smakeloos en slecht gevuld. Prijs stond niet in verhouding tot de kwaliteit.

Amazing place. The service was great, fast and smooth, and the food tasted good. I like the particular detail that they had listed all the allergens in the first page of the menu so easier for strict vegetarian eaters like me to choose the dishes without having to ask the chef for it in every other restaurant in NL.

Highly recommended! We came here on a Saturday evening without a reservation at around 8 p.m. and were given a super friendly welcome. We were told that there was no table available at the moment, but if we waited 10-15 minutes it would work. We waited outside the door and the staff let us know when something was available. The menu has something for everyone, we had 2 pizzas, ravioli and tagliatele with salmon. Everything was very tasty and filled you up. Price-performance ratio was absolutely fine, with several drinks, 4 main courses and 2 desserts we paid around €130. The staff was very attentive and always had a relaxed attitude on their lips. We would recommend the store ☺️

This was a real disappointment The bruschetta was more or less tasteless on boring bread. Unfortunately, the pasta stayed at the same level Surprising that the restaurant received such good reviews before

The food is delicious, it did not disappoint. 👍

Lovely service and even better food. Staff also knows a bit of polish bonus points !!!!

Wonderful evening and dinner with friends. Warm atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious dinner and dessert.💕

Excellent Italian cuisine at Piccolo Mondo. Excellent service and overall great value. Authentic atmosphere and wait staff are Italian. The Carbonara was creamy and packed with flavour. House wine was very good. Also. Well done.

High-quality pasta. I ordered very good mushroom and vegetable pasta, and the price was very reasonable High quality food with good prices I advise everyone to eat here

Food was delicious. Pizza, Salmon, Mussels, house wine....all amazing.

Having just arrived via Eurostar from London (is not the food offer in their “new” Eurostar Plus dumbed down rubbish) we wanted a light lunch and went to this restaurant on spec. The owner was happy to service us from the starter menu. We had tomato soup, some focaccia and prawns in garlic. Everything we had in particular the soup was very good. With a 50cl carafe of vin rouge (okay table wine at these prices) the damage €60 for 2. Good value, nice service and an ideal lunchtime spot.

Eerlijke en lekkere gerechten, bovendien zeer vriendelijke bediening! Op bezoek in een vreemde stad altijd moeilijk de juiste keuze te maken maar wij hadden geluk met onze keuze

We were the first people into the restaurant that night, but the staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. Get the spinach and ricotta ravioli and the lemon tart.

We walked by early on a Monday night. It was quiet and we walked in. We were seated at a great table. We both had pasta dishes and their wonderful bread. Dessert, coffee, and wine were all great! The service was outstanding. If we lived here, it would be our "GO TO" favorite place. Thank you.

We had salmon grill with mushroom soup along with a soft drink / sprite. The place is cozy and the host is very welcoming. We were in early, but I guess the place will get filled as evening progresses. The food was tasty and adequately portioned. The soup can be split between 2 people. It was spiced like Italian. Overall a very nice evening and thanks to the person who waited the table for the excellent service.

Cleanliness to the maximum, good presentation of dishes, excellent house wine! Nothing bad or mediocre! I recommend 100%. If you like to enjoy a good meal and be comfortable 👌🏻💪🏻

Small but nice. Reservations are useful. Delicious food and atmosphere. Baas also walks around often, which gives it a personal atmosphere.

Very nice place to eat especially pasta with trauff souce is very nice

Siamo rimasti piacevolmente colpiti dalla qualità e quantità delle portate. Sembrava di essere in italia, e non essere trattati come turisti. TOP, CONSIGLIATISSINO.

Modern Italian, quite spacious for this neighborhood in Amsterdam. Were friendly to our family with advice on placing the buggy and we received a high chair. Too bad about the draft door. We ordered a foccacia for the daughter and pasta for us. Food was decent but simple, portion on the smaller side - enough for me but a bigger eater might want dessert. Photo of the pasta Italia, with a sweet tomato sauce and sour burrata. I didn't think the hot-cold combo was successful, but I could have guessed that.

If you’re in Amsterdam and looking for a place that genuinely cares about its guests, Piccolo Mondo is it! We dined here twice during our short stay, and I can’t say enough about the warmth and attention to detail from the staff. My friend has multiple food allergies (gluten-free, vegetarian, nut & lactose intolerant), which can make dining out a challenge. But at Piccolo Mondo, the head chef went above and beyond, crafting her a custom meal each night that was both safe and delicious—no small feat! The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and made with such care that it felt like dining with family. They even accommodated our late arrival after a delayed train, letting us dine during the last half hour of business without making us feel rushed. This level of hospitality, paired with amazing food, made these meals a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam!

Very good Italian cuisine and pleasant and discreet service.

I was eating and the waiters took the dishes of my friend while I was still eating my food … Inadmissible

The staff was very cheerful, the dish was delicious and hot. I enjoyed eating at this restaurant.

Nice and friendly service, great pizza! Do recommend it!

Little gem for Italian. It was a short walk from our hotel and the reviews convinced us to try it. Amazing ravioli and risotto and lovely staff. Thank you!

Food ok, prices a little high, friendly staff

The place is nice and pleasant, the food is delicious, you just have to see the images to imagine it. When we arrived there was no one and in a few minutes it was full. The service is attentive and pleasant

Wonderful, calm is the food and simply delicious.

Delicious food on the canal! The staff comes to you fairly quickly, just ask for a drink yourself, but that is a small effort!

Really cute Italian restaurant, we tried seafood pasta and mixed salad with red wine, so good.

Ontzettend leuke sfeer! Het eten is overheerlijk, maar de gastvrijheid van het personeel maakt je ervaring nog kleurrijker:)

Good food, friendly and helpful staff

The pizzas are good and generous

Fantastic food!!! Marcos is a very nice waiter who takes great care of his customers!!!

Only super good dishes. Excellent pizza and very good Italian wine

It's a nice place. I especially recommend the tiramisu.

Good delicious and lovely atmosphere, highly recomended

Bom restaurante italiano, pasta, boa carne com trufas, lasanha saborosa! Ótimo atendimento dos funcionários e comida saudável

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and fantastic staff

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Amazing food, wonderful staff, and they absolutely nailed the tiramisù.

The wine and starters were great, would recommend the prawn starter. the quattro stagioni was a bit light on topping, the tuna and olives pizza looked a bit better.

Tolles Ambiente mit ganz netter Bedienung. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Preis Leistung sehr gut. Ganze Familie war begeistert und happy. Jederzeit gerne wieder.

The tartufo ravioli are VERY delicious!

Food is amazing I ate here 2 nights in a row it’s so fantastic well worth the wait

Very good food and excellent service
