Renato's Osteria - De Pijp in Nieuwe Pijp

This restaurant is located on a corner of an Amsterdam School-style building on a square with beautiful trees. As if that weren't enough (I can't imagine it was), it is also a very nice restaurant with welcoming service and delicious food. The various pastas, in particular, are highly recommended. The downside, however, is that I actually came to see what spaghetti carbonara looked like in practice so I could make it better, and I have since thrown in the towel. So I will have to go back.

Helpful waitresses, but the food was rubbish. Pasta al Ragu was really very salty and Pinsa also had an incoherent taste. In terms of taste, really less than what I would minimally expect from an Italian restaurant.

Service was great by a beautiful tall Dutch blond man with the voice of Barry white. The food was very good, came pretty fast although the truffle kicked my girlfriends stomach as well as mine, the farts were the equivalent of Chernobyl. We’ll come back ✌️

Had a delicious and pleasant meal on the terrace and later inside. Good service and staff take the time for a chat :) Top spot!

Extremely friendly staff, divine antipasti, in a Mediterranean setting on the Van de Helstplein (terrace spot).

We had such a lovely experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and Cynzia was an amazing waitress.. so kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. She guided us in making the right choices, and everything she recommended was delicious. Her warm and friendly service really made the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! ❤️

Cozy restaurant that is perfect for a quiet dinner out. The three-course menu gives you tons of food, and nice list of Italian wines. Dinner on the terrace on a warm summer night was perfect.

Lovely place, professional and kind service. Definitely recommend this beautiful Italian restaurant!

Great place! I’ve come a few times already and it has always been awesome. Tasty food, and really kind service, Cinthia was super nice!

Great food especially the bruschetta and the pasta. The service was good as well.

Delicious food, good service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

Super nice vibes, delicious food! ❤️

Great Italian spot in de Pijp! Amazing food and the atmosphere

Quality food, great location and kind service.

Very cozy and hidden spot with amazing food, drinks and service! Highly recommend the three course dinner!

Sara was the best host. Even that had set meals, she was able to customize it for our group of 12. In the end we had the whole menu and it was amazing! ❤️

Food was great. The service was terrible. We waited long long time between the starters and the main dishes. By that time we we're not very hungry.

Very nice Italian restaurant with good choices of pasta and pinsa romana. Service was good, everything we tried tasted really nice

We had a delicious meal tonight at this cozy Italian restaurant, which also happens to have the cleanest and freshest-smelling toilet in De Pijp. The two ladies who served us were super friendly, gave good explanations of the dishes, and made us feel truly welcome. Something many hospitality businesses could learn from. We will definitely be coming back here more often!

Amazing! If you are wondering where to go for a nice dinner, this is the place, try for sure Caprese, Michelin star taste!

I had a really lovely dinner at Renato’s Osteria in De Pijp. The pasta tasted genuinely fresh, and the carbonara was easily the highlight of the meal – rich, perfectly balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. The wine selection was also great, with plenty of nice options to pair with the food. A special thank you to our server Cynthia who was welcoming, attentive and made us feel really comfortable throughout the evening. Great food, good wine and warm service – I’ll definitely be back

Amazing restaurant, super friendly staff and great quality food and quick service! Absolutely recommended for traditional Italian cuisine. Located at a very cute but fairly quiet corner with great view and a delicious selection of wines! We definitely come again (well we have been a couple of times but will come again 😂). ❤️

Pizzas are good and service is as you would expect.

Great food, had a lovely time with the first wife and two daughters ;-). Get involved, the pizza is delicious and the staff is super nice

Came by for a quick meal and it was delicious! Something for the whole family to enjoy. Would recommend!

We ordered two pizzas, a salad and a beer. As we did not order two paying drinks they refused to give us free water as they only give it to people ordering derinks. As I insisted they gave us one glas when it was 90 degree F

Would not serve us tap water in 90 degree weather, think they served us worse because we are not locals

Bad service We waited half an hour after dessert to see if we could order a coffee or something similar. At first we waited politely, then we waved at various waitresses to get attention, but we were really ignored. We just got up to ask if we could still pay because we were running late for another appointment, since no one was helping us. What bizarrely bad service. I had mentioned during the reservation that it was my boyfriend's birthday, but nothing was done about that either. In principle, that is just fine, but it shows what kind of hospitable restaurant it is. Food was tasty and excellent. Good wine and menu. Service terrible.

Lovely neighborhood eatery. Excellent food and service. Nice, limited menu, well executed. Excellent wine list. 3 course menu option. Participating in 2026 restaurant week.

Delicious food and great service

Very nice manager , very nice food, cozy atmosphere

Unfortunately, no outdoor seating available despite prior reservation. The important 7 pm menu (Parmingiano al Melanzani) is already sold out. Construction site nearby (noise).

One of the most authentic italian osterias in amsterdam! The space is beautiful, the food is amazing and the service is great. Shoutout to the pappardelle al ragu, the ravioli alla burrata, the melanzane alla parmigiana and the tiramisu. A must-try in the city!

Had a tasty meal and it was cheap

Authentic Italian cuisine made with fresh ingredients set in a beautiful part of Amsterdam! The atmosphere was perfect for a dinner for two, but there were also larger groups around us. The weather was warm so everyone was seated outside, and the street is really quiet so it was easy to have a conversation. Top of the experience was the staff! They are passionate and attentive, and never hovered or rushed us. We can't wait to go back again!!

The customer service was rather bad. The gentleman, when asked questions, just ignored us with a very annoyed face expression. The lady was nice enough, but nothing that I would call friendly. The food, for its price, is nothing special. You can get much better authentic Italian pastas for the same price in Amsterdam. Tap water is for for a fee (which is ridiculous for Amsterdam), when ask about it, the waiters were quite passive aggressive, yet did not include water in fee. Thanks for that. Overall quite a “meh” experience.

Top location, fantastic service, taste Italy in the Piip! Highly recommended🤩

Such a cold pasta with albertheijn tomato sauce! I highly recommend not to go there ever! Plus don’t ever order Aperol spritz it is barely visible in the small wine glass! Italians would never accept this portion! Be aware of what you order!

Delicious and fresh food. We sat in the cellar, where it is very atmospheric and, thanks to the open layout, bathed in daylight. We were a group of 10 and received excellent service. Many thanks!

Nice restaurant with good food and wine. We were especially happy that almost all dishes could be served gluten-free, as a family member cannot tolerate gluten. Renato's fresh gluten-free pasta was delicious!

Came here to eat all the way from Belgium. Wow, super tasty, cozy neighborhood on the edge of "De Pijp". Lots of locals, authentic Italian cuisine, and super friendly service. 3-course menu for a very fair price. When we come to Amsterdam again, we will definitely be back. Thanks

I’ve had the special of the month- sea food spaghetti which was fabulous, My friend had ragu pasta which was delicious, and a really tasty great white wine, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was great

We had a delicious meal and pleasant service. I had accidentally made the wrong reservation, but they were very helpful and assisted me to my complete satisfaction. The food was flavorful!

Super tasty food. Really good value for money!

Wowww! We came from Limburg via Social Deal after a day in Amsterdam. It exceeded our expectations. Best Social Deal ever! I am sure it would have been fantastic even without that deal. We were a little early but were able to take a seat. The service was super friendly and the food... that was fantastic! Pasta carbonara just like we ate it in Italy. Just the way it should be. The atmosphere is good, it's cozy, and you get an Italian lesson in the restroom. It's a shame there isn't a branch in Limburg, but luckily there is one in Nijmegen. Highly recommended!

The antipasti platter is amazing and sooooo delicious. If desired, you can create your own pizza. In short, a lovely restaurant. And cheerful service.

Food is good, BUT please check the bill, they add things you haven't ordered.

Great food and drinks. We had a very nice evening.

It was really good. The food was very tasty and the service very friendly.

Starter and main dish were really nice. Desserts so so. Service not really welcoming or attentive

The ragu was excellent, but DO NOT order the tiramisu. It doesn't have coffee and they make it with cream! With cream, not cheese...

Food was okay - nothing to write home about , service took place but the main waitress was definitely not trying to be friendly about the service and the place smelled like toilet- which was definitely a no for returning

This restaurant was a great find - good and service was superb. We had pasta and pinsa and was absolutely delicious too beautifully decorated and great ambiance.

Nice terrace. Friendly staff. Delicious pizzas.

Nice Italian food. Truffle ravioli was the best dish we had - pastas were very very good

We went for a restaurant week and really enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy! (Apparently was too excited for the main course that forgot to take a pictures but the pasta with meat was soooo good)

Really super cozy and delicious food. Nice staff.

Amazing food and service for a good price

Absolutely delicious! The food, service, and ambiance was perfect.

Very bad service, i woudnt recommend it

Tasty, affordable, friendly and cozy.

Amazing service, incredible food, true Italian kitchen ! Will be back!

We came in without a reservation on a Friday and they were able to fit us at the bar. It was so cozy and lovely inside. The food was really, really good. They had just run out of the bottle of wine we ordered, but they had an off menu special wine they offered at the same price and it was delicious. We will definitely be making this a future date night spot.

Had a super fun evening. Atmospheric and cozy. Friendly service. Worth the effort.

Very tasty food and the service is amazing! Especially Cynthia

The food is excellent! Especially the pasta. Cynthia gave a great service too:)

Great atmosphere, food and hospitality

Great food and service! Super cosy downstairs

Had a super nice evening, super sweet service

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and very friendly service

We had a fantastic meal and a fantastic atmosphere. We sat in the basement, which is incredibly cozy. The food was truly excellent, and our hostess was incredibly kind. Highly recommended!

A pleasant welcome. We had a reservation, which was fine. We waited for a while until we were seated, but the waiter didn't come by to order drinks. Instead, new guests arrived and were helped immediately, with drinks and appetizers. After waiting 40 minutes, we still hadn't been helped. What a disappointment! Luckily, we went to another Italian restaurant, and everything there was great! Don't go there, terrible service. There are better Italian restaurants in Amsterdam.

Food was delicious. As italians, wentruly enjoyed the good quality of the ingredients. Major highlights were the appetizers, the pappardelle with a fantastic ragu and the nice Sicilian wine. Service was fast and efficient. Great experience, thanks a lot to the host

I booked a dinner for two through AMEX and found every dish delicious, with excellent service. Although there was only one person in the kitchen, the wait wasn't long. We started with ham wrapped in savory crackers, along with cheese and olives 🫒 – a lovely appetizer. The appetizer was sweet beetroot 🫜 with pistachios, very fragrant and delicious. For the main course, we chose slow-cooked beef spaghetti, made with thick noodles. It was very flavorful and delicious, but a bit on the salty side. For dessert, we chose tiramisu; the subtle liqueur flavor paired with the cream was rich and delicious! The service was very friendly; they patiently explained everything and frequently asked if we needed anything. After each dish was served, they asked if it suited our tastes. The service was superb!! 👍 The atmosphere was also excellent. Highly recommended!! I'll definitely come again!!

Delicious food! Friendly staff who helped me choose the best wines.

It’s my first time having dinner here and I had a lovely experience! The place is really cozy and we had the 3 course menu with focaccia and prosciutto & carciofi as appetizer, carbonara and ravioli as first meal and tiramisu as desserts. Everything was delicious and the staff was really kind and made the whole dinner extra enjoyable. We’ll be back

Pizza took about 2 hours to get here, while Uber eats said 1 hour. Pizza was cold and gave me a stomach ache

Delicious, authentic Italian food and service to match. No reason to go to Puglia anymore. Find real Italy in De Pijp.

We had an excellent time enjoying this restaurant! Service was perfect! One of the better Italian spots in the pijp.

The pasta and the tiramisu were the highlights of our night. The pinsa was also very tasty!

Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere and very nice service :)

Always lovely dining experience - sweet and great service.

overpriced …save your money better places to eat real Italiano food

A really nice place, and with lovely food. We were really surprised and it was perfect for our birthday.

The food was excellent. See the photos for proof.

We had an amazing time for our annual meeting! The food was very tasty and traditional which I really liked and missed since our last trip to Italy !! A big thank you to Cinxia for her kindness and hospitality 😊

Big thanks to Cinxia for the amazing service and being attentive :)

From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcome thanks to the very warm and hospitable reception. We were given a lovely table in a beautiful spot in the restaurant. The menu was explained with care and enthusiasm, which immediately whetted our appetite. We enjoyed an extensive three-course menu, and all dishes were generous in portion, carefully prepared, and beautifully presented. The flavors were excellent and clearly created with a true passion for cooking. Throughout the evening, the service was very friendly, professional, and attentive, without ever being intrusive. We had a wonderful evening at Renato’s Osteria — a place where hospitality and quality clearly come first. We will definitely be happy to return.

We had a wonderful evening at Renato's Osteria de Pijp. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent!

Amazing service and good Italian food.

What a lovely little place in De Pijp; we enjoyed delicious pinsas, the atmosphere was great, the service was fast, and the menu was interesting. Plenty of reason to stop by again.

A place in the heart of Amsterdam that feels like home. Excellent food and welcoming staff! Highly recommended!

Very nice! Good food great vibes! Thank you for a lovely evening

Cozy atmosphere and amazing food and service
