Everything was delicious. And everyone was very, very nice. I don't understand why anyone would give it a low rating... Simply fantastic!

The food was okay, nothing special, nothing bad either, but the service left much to be desired. From taking orders to clearing tables and paying, nothing worked properly.

Fast service. Food was good. Friendly staff.

We were here on Monday evening...it was pleasantly empty and we were able to choose a table in the conservatory...the food was absolutely delicious and the service was very friendly...we'd love to come back.

Customer-friendly, the pizzas were delicious.

First, the bread for the bruschetta appetizer was rock hard and not only inedible but also like rusk. The tomato soup was unfortunately also unappetizing. The pizza we ordered was burnt on the bottom and equally unpleasant. In total, we paid €70 for four appetizers, a pizza, and drinks. The service also left much to be desired.

Excellent pizza. Delicious and huge. The staff is very friendly. 😁

Very bad. Twice a pizza that wasn't good. It seemed like the meat wasn't good.

We had a long day of cycling on Texel behind us and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat in Callantsoog. It was actually half an hour before closing time, but that was no problem for you. We were received very hospitably. We both had a delicious pizza. So big that they almost didn't fit on the plate. Delicious! Only a glass of Primitivo for 7.50...that was a bit disappointing...otherwise, a real Italian feel here.

"We were with Emilio last week. "... I asked if he had Meloredos. He usually doesn't... but he did... Thank you for the lovely evening. Greetings from Düsseldorf, Reiner and family.

We ordered three pizzas and a tuna salad by phone. Everything arrived very promptly. The pizza was delicious and the salad was very well dressed.

The pizza was amazing, the pasta wasn't so good.

Just good every time we don't have time or feel like cooking. Big pizzas and tasty!

A nice Italian restaurant in the center of Callantsoog. Delicious pizzas, and very large ones at that. Good value for money.

A wonderful restaurant for a relaxing evening. The staff is very friendly and helpful! I will definitely be back to enjoy more delicious dishes! See you soon, MY LOVE!

I've been coming here for years and every time it's fantastic. An absolute must-visit in Callantsoog! Update 20-07: Had a delicious meal again, truly the best restaurant in Callantsoog.

The pizza was truly delicious, with perfect dough, great ingredients, and excellent flavor. One of the best pizzas I've ever had. The drinks were also very good and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere and service were very pleasant. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back!

Delicious, real Italian atmosphere

Lovely restaurant, we received a very warm welcome. We were immediately allowed to bring our dog in, even inside. The service was lovely, and we ordered the Pizza Emilio, which is tomato, mozzarella, arugula, and Parmesan. Parma ham was also available as an extra. The wine was excellent, everything was great. Very cozy. The pizza was huge and incredibly delicious. Highly recommended! We even got a table on Valentine's Day despite the restaurant being so busy. It was one of the best pizzas we've ever had.

I had a pizza today, and it was such a joy to eat it. Huge, the crust was perfect, and the toppings were generous. The service was great, and it was simply delightful.

We've been coming here for ages, perfect menu and even friendlier service. TOP!!

Annoying. This pizzeria was recommended to us. We called several times to make a reservation, but unfortunately received no response. When we arrived, we were shocked to find the pizzeria closed. There's no indication of this anywhere, neither on their website nor on Google.

We've never been disappointed by the food. Very tasty Italian pizzas.

We had veal medallions with mushrooms and saltimbocca alla Romana – both were delicious. The service was very welcoming, quick, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Highly recommended! Grazie per la bella serata.

The waitress's service was excellent. The lasagna was exquisite, the clams very fresh, the food arrived quickly, and the portions were generous. 20/10

We had a calzone and a pizza 4 formaggio. It was absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and calm. We think the restrooms need a facelift. The toilet seat in the women's restroom was loose, and the toilet paper dispenser on the wall wasn't quite secure.

Pizza, super delicious, thin crust, fresh toppings. Poor service, starter forgotten, wrong drink, long wait for order. The atmosphere is quite good, cozy inside, the conservatory is spartan.

Great service, friendly and attentive. After our meal, the owner gave us a little something on the house. Our pizzas were delicious and generously topped. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious pizza. Great! Excellent service.

Great restaurant with very friendly staff. Great food, a true pleasure to dine there.

We ate there three times in one week. Mussels, pizza, and pasta. The food arrived quickly, was hot, and delicious.

We ordered three pizzas over the phone, which we were able to pick up after 15 minutes. The conversation was very friendly. Picking up the pizzas was uncomplicated and also very friendly. The pizzas were nice and thin, crispy, and quite large, and we really enjoyed them. The price was reasonable for a vacation spot and the authentic Italian salami. Personally, I would find the restaurant itself too crowded and noisy, but that's a matter of taste.

Update 10/4/25 Visited at Amore Mio again today. Nothing has changed: Large menu with a wide variety of dishes, friendly and attentive staff, delicious food. ................. Cozy, large pizzeria with seating in the winter garden and in the restaurant. A large menu and friendly, attentive staff round out the offerings. The dishes are very tasty and quite generous for the price. We will be back.

We were there a few times six months ago and were always very satisfied. This time we went twice, but unfortunately the food isn't as good anymore. We had asparagus Bolognese once, and mussels the second time we had pizza. The quality and taste have unfortunately declined considerably. It's a real shame.

A table for several people was reserved inside for that evening with the chef personally, and the reservation was confirmed. When we arrived, the reserved table had been taken, and we were only allowed to sit in the unheated conservatory in the relatively cold temperatures, which was very uncomfortable. The pizza and the salami on it were not tasty, and we were charged an extra €2 for exchanging an ingredient without prior notice. The chef was unfriendly, and everyone was very unfriendly to customers; we won't be going there again.

I'd be happy to go back. The pizzas were good. The service was friendly and attentive.

The pizza was very tasty, the service very friendly and the decor was cozy.

Super delicious, super friendly staff. Crispy pizza with freshly prepared tomato sauce.

I haven't had such a delicious pizza in a long time. The restaurant was packed with customers, but we were still served very friendly and quickly.

Delicious, good pizza with fresh ingredients. Dogs welcome

The service was very unfriendly and seemed annoyed. The restaurant was very busy, and we had to wait 1.5 hours for our pizza. Many guests who arrived after us got their food faster. When the pizza arrived, it was lukewarm. The toppings seemed carelessly made, and there was very little cheese. Furthermore, we didn't get a receipt when paying. When we later checked, we paid almost €17 more. Never again.

Not recommended. The food was poor quality. A waste of money!

This is how pizza should always be!

The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was served quickly and tasted very good.

Delicious food, very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Amore Mio is an authentic Italian restaurant. In addition to classic pizza, they also offer delicious pasta dishes. The service is fast and unobtrusive. We'll be happy to come back.

By far the best pizza's in the north of Holland! Pizza bakers from Napoli make the best crusts and sauces! We'll be back 💙🫶🤠

We ate pizza. The crust was great. It had a very slight salty note. Unfortunately, the salami was very fatty and had an aftertaste that lingered for about two hours. So my recommendation: Just order a pizza without salami. Then the 3 stars for the meal will immediately become 4-5.

Wir waren abends nach 19:30 Uhr dort, wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und durften uns einen Tisch aussuchen. Es war sofort jemand da, der Getränke & Essen aufgenommen hat. Kaum hatten wir etwas zu trinken, war sich das Essen schon da, obwohl das Restaurant halb voll war. Es war SEHR lecker und reichlich. Wir hatten Pizza und Pasta. Die Preise sind für die Portionen definitiv ok. Wir haben den Rest eingepackt bekommen und freuen uns über diesen Snack morgen. Wir verstehen schlechte Bewertungen für das Lokal überhaupt nicht!!! Natürlich dauert alles länger, wenn es voller ist. ABER dafür ist man im Urlaub und hat Zeit 😃 DANKE für das leckere Essen und die gute Bewirtung! Wir kommen gerne nochmal vorbei.

We've gotten dinner twice now. The tomato sauce, salad, and pizza were excellent. I actually had the best pizza of my life here. Very friendly service. I'll get us something again tonight. 😋☺️ The prices are absolutely fair, too. Highly recommended. 👍

Unbelievable! Unfriendly and rude boss - I think it was the boss, given his behavior. The food is also extremely bad. A restaurant can only afford this if it can survive on the passing trade of a busy holiday resort. I don't know any other Italians who cook Italian food this poorly. Saltimbocca alla Romana for over 27 euros - actually a fantastic dish - is prepared so poorly that you don't really want to eat it. This restaurant can't even manage to serve a simple "cabonara" in a halfway acceptable way. This is my second online review ever - which shows how I rate this restaurant. If you have a lot of money to spare and want to spoil your vacation a little, you should definitely reserve a table here and see for yourself.

Very friendly staff. I can only comment on the pizza, and it was delicious. Excellent value for money. I'd go back anytime. 👌👌👌👌👌+

The service was great and child-friendly. A regular meal was made into a children's plate because my son didn't want fries. The food was delicious.

We had a wonderful meal tonight at Amore Mio. Delicious wine, a fine salad, wonderful mussels, decent coffee and grappa to finish, and magical service. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

This was a huge mistake for us. We'd read great reviews, and the location is truly ideal. The food is also very good, but the staff are a disgrace to this country. There's an older man (the owner?) who is so rude, the most unfriendly person we've ever met. To our great annoyance, we saw how he treated the waitresses… I even felt uncomfortable continuing to eat. He was also rude to my family: our dishes were taken from the table before we'd even finished eating. In short: a beautiful place, a good location, and good food, but terrible human behavior. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, not even to continue supporting someone who treats their employees this way. It's unbelievable that this can still happen in 2025.

Super delicious pizza, friendly service, and not overpriced. When it's busy, it can get a bit chaotic, but that's understandable. We would go there again anytime.

Wir haben 5 Pizzen telefonisch bestellt. Sollten in 15 Minuten abholen. Name wurde nicht nochmals nachgefragt. Wir waren nach 20 Minuten da. Mussten bezahlen. Nach 30 Minuten wurden wir gefragt was wir bestellt haben. Nur der Name und 5 Pizzen nicht die Sorten. Bestellung war wohl vergessen worden. Nach weiteren 10 Minuten gab es 5 Pizzen. Als Entschädigung wurde uns eine Flasche Wein angeboten. Wir wählten rot es gab weiß und von den bestellten Pizzen gab es eine die der Bestellung entsprach. Nicht zu empfehlen und auf jeden Fall die Bestellung kontrollieren.

We ate here 10 years ago. We wanted to do it again this year. We were on vacation in Callantsoog this week. Lasagna exists, but it was swimming in a very greasy sauce. It tasted more like a thick tomato soup than lasagna. The spaghetti wasn't what it should be either. Not enough flavor.

We've been coming here for years, but yesterday the food was truly awful. We wanted to order takeout, but no one answered the phone, so we stopped by. There was no one at the entrance to separate diners and takeaways. The old man was barking at us, which really startled my daughter, even though she doesn't know him that well. We waited 40 minutes for our food, and when we got home, the salmon pasta and truffle pasta were soggy and tasteless. The cream sauce was nowhere to be seen, and there was no taste of salt, pepper, or garlic. We threw it straight in the trash; it was a real shame. The pizza crusts were dry and the toppings were tough. We are incredibly disappointed and will NEVER come back for a while.

I've rarely seen such a good Italian restaurant. Very tasty fish soup, excellent pasta, and the pizza is also fantastic.

Wir haben lange auf die Bedienung und das Essen gewartet. Die Mitarbeiter laufen oft an einem vorbei, ohne hinzuschauen ob noch Bedarf an Getränken besteht. Tisch war nicht gereinigt worden und es wirkte alles in einem sehr schmuddelig. Die Pizza hingegen war lecker. Das konnte den Rest leider nicht aufwiegen. Würde nicht mehr wiederkommen.

My boyfriend and I ate there! We made two orders, at first everything was fine with the nice staff, but the pasta was really disgusting 🤢! I'm a cook so I recognize the taste of a good simple pasta! I'm very sorry! The waiter said we can change for a pizza but my boyfriend and I decided to leave and only pay for the drinks! The waiter started insulting him badly! I understand the stress but this goes beyond kindness! Being Italian he didn't insult me much but he said everything and more to my husband! We're sorry but I hope for you in the future to improve

Unfortunately, I can't write anything about the food here, as we waited 1.5 hours for the pizza. We ordered at the same time as two other tables. They had already finished eating and left. When we asked, we initially received no information. When we said we didn't want any more pizza, we were insulted, and the statement "we should go for fries next time" seemed rather rude to us (even though the waitresses confirmed that we had already waited that long). It can happen, but a different reaction would be advisable!

The Amore Mio team deserves a Michelin star right away ⭐️ With their incredibly fresh seafood, delicious as a salad or pizza 🍕, and traditional Sardinian secret recipes 🍝 for the perfect feast. Here 🍷, every guest is perfectly pampered 🇮🇹 🤩

We ate here for the second time during our summer vacation this year. I'd say, well, it's not! The first time, there's no comparison. I had tortellini alla panna, which had very little flavor. The sauce was like milk (very runny), the ham was cut into thick pieces, a very small portion, and not particularly appetizing. We also ordered a seafood pizza, which caused severe nausea and vomiting that night. Unfortunately, the quality was significantly lower than last year. What a shame!

This was our first time at this pizzeria (restaurant), and it won't be the last! We had pizza...and it was amazing! Truly delicious Italian pizza! Update July 2025: Everything is still as described! And still super delicious. New pictures uploaded. It was busy, but we still got a nice table. Very friendly welcome and table assignment. Drinks were taken immediately and menus distributed. When we were undecided about which pizza to choose, the chef promptly made a recommendation, which was very tasty. Overall, the price/performance ratio was absolutely reasonable. Highly recommended!

Super good traditional Italian food, fast service, and friendly staff. Highly recommended for dining with a small or large group.

Terrible, you can't justify serving something like that. The carbonara was completely runny, the guancale was ice cold, and the service (the chef) was simply rude! For a restaurant, the food is a disaster. I absolutely don't recommend it. In short, it's a pure tourist rip-off, and the prices are unjustified!

The prices are outrageous. Simply too rude.

The food was delicious, the pizzas have fresh ingredients and aren't greasy. Made with great care, and you can taste it!

Had a delicious meal with my family. Despite the crowds, the wait wasn't too bad. Friendly staff.

Despite the crowds, we had a delicious meal. The service was excellent and fast.

Delicious food, great service! We'll be back.

Very nice service the food was excellent we would love to come back

Delicious food, excellent pizza and drinks on the house.

We had a fantastic meal on a busy summer holiday. We ate there last year during our holiday and, due to its great success, we came back again this year. Always full. Always a pleasant atmosphere. Knowledgeable, friendly staff (some of whom speak English). There was some trouble with the power supply during our dinner, but we didn't mind. It happens to the owner himself. We received an apology, which wasn't necessary at all. Our children weren't feeling well and were able to take their boxed pizzas home. Delicious soup, large shrimp, sirloin steak, and accompanying salads. Perfect pizzas, of course. We're going on holiday to Callantsoog again next year, so reserve our table for five now!

Visited 2 weeks back ! Staff is one the best I have ever seen in the Netherlands. Top quality pizzas 🍕

Everything was good, delicious pizza. Very large and good value for money.

The food was very tasty, the service was also very friendly and courteous

We had a delicious meal and were served friendly.

Horrible food. Never had anything so bad. Truffle pasta, lasagna, and tortellini were all overcooked and not really seasoned. Ordered ginger ale, which also tasted really weird. We told the waiters, but no response. Barely any room inside, thousands of flies everywhere. Pizzas on the other tables didn't look particularly appetizing either. Never, ever. Update: We've been to dozens of restaurants, including in Italy itself. Aside from the fact that Italian cuisine isn't rocket science, sometimes you have to take criticism as a reason for improvement. There wasn't even a mention of al dente, but rather that all the pasta/dishes were overcooked and lacked salt and other seasonings. Taste before serving! Exactly, over 300 people, mass processing, for quite a bit of money.

At all it was nice. The price was kinda high for that small portions

We had a great meal. It was very busy due to the tourist season in Callantsoog, but we were still able to find a table. We were served quickly, and the food took a while to arrive, but the pizzas were excellent. What we couldn't finish was given in a box, and we could also take the dessert (Tiramisu) home, which is highly recommended.

By far the best restaurant in Calantsoog

Heerlijk gegeten! Wat een fijne avond bij dit gezellige Italiaanse restaurant. De bediening was alleraardigst – vriendelijk, attent en met een glimlach. We begonnen met een focaccia vooraf, echt een aanrader: vers, knapperig en vol van smaak. Als hoofdgerecht genoten we van de pizza Burrata en de lasagne allebei om te smullen! Je proeft dat er met liefde is gekookt. We komen hier elk jaar als we in Callantsoog zitten en we komen zeker terug!

Beautiful restaurant, very friendly staff. Our food was delicious. We were extremely satisfied. We'd be happy to come back...🤤

Yes, super friendly, unobtrusive service. Pleasant atmosphere. The food was great. We enjoyed a delicious calzone! And to our delight, they also serve non-alcoholic wheat beer. Especially when we're out cycling. We're always happy to come back.

We enjoyed the food very much. The service was very friendly and attentive.

Very tasty food and friendly service!

Super delicious, whether it was pasta, pizza, or dessert, we had nothing to complain about. Quite the opposite: We tried something different each time, and each time we received a thumbs-up. We'll be back on our next vacation. Also worth mentioning: Everyone is friendly, attentive, and always has time to help even when it gets a little late and you want to finish that last drink. 😄👍

Heerlijke pizza’s, daar we op een camping zitten hebben we een bestelling gedaan, binnen 10 minuten kon het worden opgehaald, pizzas waren heerlijk krokant, goede smaak, verse ingrediënten

Instead of specific days/holiday periods, you should definitely reserve

Unfortunately, I have to say that the salami pizza wasn't really my thing...sorry...the salami was very greasy and salty, but the pizza size was definitely sufficient. The service was super friendly and accommodating. The prices were also OK.

Nice place with a lovely ambiance. Unfortunately, we were more than disappointed with the food. We ordered two pasta dishes with frutti di mare. It had no flavor at all and was completely bland. The so-called tomato sauce was more like soup. The mixed salad consisted of 85% iceberg lettuce. The dressing was also extremely skimpy. All in all, very disappointing. Charging over €60 for a meal like this for two people is, in my opinion, outrageous.

The restaurant is 100% recommended.

Booked last minute. No problem! Food is great! Staff super friendly and a very pleasant atmosphere. Recommended!

As an Italian restaurant, you should know how to make spaghetti carbonara. I received pasta with scrambled eggs... extremely unappetizing. The spaghetti shouldn't be at its maximum temperature, because then the egg mixture will curdle. Last time, I had spaghetti aglio/olio that was literally swimming in oil. The pasta was also overcooked. So, they really can't make pasta. We've already been warned that there's no consistency in quality at Amore Mio, which we can confirm.

Great restaurant, great service, very child-friendly...and the food was perfect too 👍🏻 we'll be back
