Restaurant Toscana in Haarlemmerbuurt

It's really great that there's a 30% student discount; my pizza was only 8 euros! Furthermore, the atmosphere is very nice and there are really friendly young students working there. I will definitely be back!

"The tomato soup was tasteless, the scampi bad, the pizza obviously frozen, and the lasagna stretched with bits of salami. The music was way too loud, and there were two strangers in street clothes in the kitchen. We didn't finish our food, and nobody seemed to care – I suppose they're used to that sort of thing. One look at the filthy fan pretty much says it all. My advice: just turn around and leave."

Nice place to eat a (super) good pizza. There are many more tasty things on the menu. I heard that the chef has been cooking there for 25 years. The owner is a nice man who still understands (old-fashioned) hospitality well. Right opposite The Movies cinema, so great for a bite to eat before (or after) the movie. Highly recommended!

Call a Plumber, a Cleaner, and Possibly a Doctor I went to this Italian restaurant expecting a cozy dinner, but the place looked like it was auditioning for a horror movie. The walls had cracks so big I thought they were trying to introduce me to the kitchen staff next door. The floor creaked with every step like it was personally warning me to leave. The ceiling fan was so dusty it looked like it was marinating the air instead of cooling it. I ordered a salmon pizza, which was a mistake I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The dough tasted like it had just been evicted from the fridge and wasn’t ready to move on yet. The cheese didn’t melt—it just slid off like it had better places to be. The tomato sauce had so little flavor I briefly wondered if I had lost my sense of taste. The salmon was watery and questionable, like it had a complicated past it didn’t want to talk about. And to top it all off, I ended the night with scombroid poisoning, itching like I’d rolled in a field of regret. Do yourself a favor and don’t go there. There are plenty of ways to enjoy Italian food that don’t involve risking your health.

I always say when something is good. But when it's not, I also want to tell. I'm just gonna cut to the chase. This restaurant is NOT GOOD. I should've known, walking into the restaurant on a Sunday evening around dinner time being the first and only people. The staff came right away. But after we recieved our food, they disappeared... We literally had to shout for someone to come take an order. They didn't check if everything was alright with the food. Normal stuff you'd expect from a restaurant. Especially since we were the only ones. About the food, and I'm not exaggerating, it tasted like pre made frozen meals. There nothing more to say about it really. When we told the staff about the quality of the food, they just got annoyed. Anyway, I hope they step up the quality. And until than, I would advice to spend your hard earned money somewhere.

This is NOT an Italian restaurant nor an Italian cuisine. Also no Italian cooks in the kitchen. The menu shows pastas and pizzas with very weird combinations whereas an Italian menu is very clear about which combinations are allowed and which are not. Also, my pasta (salmon with cheese sauce) was pretty tasteless: had to add pepper and even salt several times. This is not okay. We will definitely not come back here. We don't understand either how they get 4 out of 5 stars reviews (their own staff perhaps?) Prices are way too high for what you get (both quantities and quality)

Delicious pizza, great that there is a student discount!!!

Good food. The tiramisu is amazing.

A really cute little restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere! The service is also very open and friendly, and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. You'll feel right at home :)

Friendly service!!!!! Delicious food and nice atmosphere🥰🍝

Delicious food, good prices and a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff!

A wonderful place to rest and eat. The staff are so welcoming and kind. We were welcomed each night and greeted as old friends, we returned 4 times. The food was delicious, a wonderful Pizza selection and gorgeous pasta dishes all reasonably priced. Our son who now lives in Amsterdam has also returned many times and is greeted as an old friend now. We will definitely return again

The food was delicious (especially for the price). The service was super friendly and professional. We had a very pleasant evening here with excellent food.

Fantastic experience, friendly staff, and good (and relatively plentiful) food for a good price. Will definitely be back!

Amazing restaraunt, one of my favourite spots in Amsterdam! Affordable, amazing pizza and everyone working there is amazing! Definitely give it a go!

My partner and i had a lovely diner, we both had a pasta carbonara with a red house wine. The interior makes it feel very cozy, like I'm receiving food from an auntie/uncle. The staff were very kind and attentive... We are definitely coming back!

The food and service are excellent, but a lick of paint and a dust cloth are needed; the open kitchen also deserves a makeover.

After a long stroll through the streets of Amsterdam, we stopped at this place, which was still preparing for dinner. It was 3:30 pm. They seated us and gave us a warm welcome. The pizza and pasta were truly excellent and unexpected. Many thanks to the restaurant staff. We highly recommend it! There were 4 of us!

Good and Solid Pizza. Bit spectacular , but good taste. Espresso a bit too large, almost a mocca. Overall a good experience !

The food was delicious and the service was excellent, plus the place is awesome.

Great food and service. A bit older restaurant, which gives it special feeling. Location is also very good. We had pizza and lasagna, make sure to try lasagna, taste is amazing!

Really good 👍. Good pizza and pasta, and the vitello tonnato was also delicious.

Delicious pizza and friendly service 👌👏😊

We were passing by on our way to the hotel and decided to stay for dinner. The food was delicious, both the pizzas and the pasta. The service was very friendly. And the place is very cozy. You'll find some lovely surprises!

P.S. Photo of the incredibly delicious pizza we ate. Super quality and very attentive staff. We'll be back!

This restaurant is rather unassuming from the outside. When you enter, the first thing that strikes you is the slanted floor and dated interior. But the staff and the food make all this feel like a quaint, cozy experience! The four of us (parents and two pre/teens) loved the food, the service, and the experience.

The pizza is tasteless, probably frozen

Disappointing. Prawn cocktail, distinctly average. Great big lettuce leaves hanging over the serving dish in a careless way. Gorgonzola pizza was unpleasant. Way too much tomato paste and the cheese tasted odd. Won't visit again.

Always delicious food and always good service.

Avoid going there, you will regret if you go

Very good dishes, Italian and other wise.

We had dinner together as a family. Everyone had a different starter and dessert, salad, bruschetta, spaghetti with scampi, spaghetti with gorgonzola sauce and mushrooms, spinach au gratin al forno and pizza tonno. All dishes were good to very good. We were allowed to sit down with older locals at the first large table, which was the best choice in terms of light and ambience. The remaining tables are a bit dark, which is a shame. Rather cheaper in terms of price.

Very very nice and large portions for a good price

Very warm welcome! The gentleman is adorable and very smiling. Price range between 10-20€, great value for money. The dishes were very good. I recommend!

We ate at this restaurant on a whim!! Great value for money, warm welcome, the gentleman who served us was very friendly. If you are a tourist, like me, come and have dinner/lunch there to start 👍

Tasty and cheap pizzas!! The place is cute and nice atmosphere at dinner time

We happened to enter the restaurant and found excellent service and not to mention the typical Tuscan food which was spectacular, exceeded all our expectations and the prices were perfect 👌 we would come back!! thank you very much!!

We ordered two pizzas and some mixed starters. Finished off with a delicious tiramisu. Good food and very friendly staff. Very relaxed meal. Thank you!

Best pizzas ever. The chef has been a stable factor for more than 30 years. Quality always top. Tira misu is highly recommended

One of the best restaurants in Amsterdam, from the dishes to the service, absolutely great!

Extremely slow food service, and bland food.

They have glutenfree pizza here without soy in the dough (traces of soy could be present but for me that is not a problem). They let me check the ingredients for myself so I could be sure of what I was eating. I enjoyed my sardine pizza very much, thank you!

I was there it’s the best place in Amsterdam with the best atmosphere ! I I spilled my beer on the pizza, but despite this they made me another pizza.for free! This is a real human act. I’m glad that I visited this place.

Ate seafood past. Made out of penne, canned tuna, mini shrimps and some muscles. Haven’t ate canned tuna pasta since I was 17 learning how to cook.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in Amsterdam! We pick up from Toscana almost once every week. The thin crust pizzas are outstanding--crispy edges, rich flavors. We also enjoy penne gorgonzola and penne verde and order a mixed salad to go with them, The vegetable lasagna is delicious. The tiramisu is one of the best we've ever had.

Food wasnt tasty, pasta tasted like pasta from the supermarket. Bread was cold. Service wasnt kind enough

Watch out for tourists! We went inside to go to the bathroom and the manager or waiter jumped on us to tell us that we don't go in like that and that it costs money. Very well, we don't know and we suggest we have a coffee or something else... Very unpleasant, he refuses to serve us and asks us to pay 2€. We expected better from the hospitality, especially from Tuscany.

Friendly service and nice atmosphere

youre better off doing groceries and having your 5 year old kids making the dinner for you. ingredients were below supermarket quality. cheese wasnt fresh, sauce was tasteless, dough was stale and flat. the server couldnt tell our pizzas apart (one glutenfree). proof of the trash quality of both. after two unbearable slices of pizza we spoke to the manager who claimed “I cant do anything about it or the bill”. so we left without eating, paid the bill, had a much better experience at a restaurant down the road. DO NOT EAT HERE

- Every frozen pizza and instant pasta tastes better - Waiter takes a lot of time before asking for the order and goes for a smoke when you ask for the bill.

Delightful food and service and very friendly owner. Place is conveniently located across from The Movies, just a few steps away for a great after-movie meal. Recommended.

Very cozy and very good food! I love the ambience and the entrecote was very good

Smiling and warm welcome. Excellent dishes (gorgonzola pizza and shrimp pasta). Recommended +++

The pizza is bad. I have not tried the rest (so maybe it is better ?). I am having an hard time understanding the reviews saying it is delicious. Italian food, and mostly for pizzas and pastas are easy to make in the process. Everyone can do it. So what makes the difference here- and in Italian food in general is the amazing QUALITY of the ingredients. I took the oregano pizza. It is only 3 ingredients so how can you miss it ? None of them were fresh (not even the oregano come on), greasy and dry bad quality pizza cheese added on top and bad quality tomato sauce. I don't even want talk about the carbonara that my friends took, which was literally the spaghetti with Albert Heijn ham striped and CREAM and no parmigiano. It was an absolute waste of money. Maybe they should have a smaller menu with way better ingredients.

The pizza tasted good, but could have been a bit warmer.

There are some lame reviews in this section. So unfair. As usual, we were warmly welcomed yesterday by the owner and his two daughters. No one in our (large) group had any complaints, on the contrary. I say, "see you next time."

Ordered outrageous pasta with old salmon. I am a real salmon lover and always recognize fresh salmon. I get a pasta with rotten salmon. The pasta literally tastes like cream sauce and seawater. Pasta with milk and sea salt and rotten salmon flavor. I really went over my head. It's scandalous that you dare to give this to the delivery person. These are Turks who just don't want to make anything and don't think about quality. Please leave Italian cuisine to the Italians.

We ordered both traditional and gluten-free pizza at this place. Overall, our experience was decent; however, the gluten-free pizza had a slightly tough and crunchy texture. The toppings, on the other hand, were satisfactory.

Cheap and good Italian pizza with Italian customer ! Tania dobra włoska pizza, włoski właściciel !

Heerlijk gegeten , vriendelijk personeel en gezellige sfeer.

Ongelofelijke vriendelijke eigenaar, heerlijke spaghetti, Italiaanse wijn voortreffelijk, eten snel geserveerd kom hier al 25 Jaar en zo tevreden mooi uitzicht bij het raam tegenover de bios, een van de mooiste straten van Amsterdam. Heerlijke na gerechten en de koffie is zo lekker. Ik zou zeggen ga er heen voortreffelijk.

Waar vind je dat nog, een restaurant met al 30 jaar dezelfde eigenaar en dezelfde kok. Nou hier, waar je met een glimlach door de eigenaar bediend wordt, je stante pede een karafje koud water krijgt voorgezet, de pizza's overheerlijk zijn, de wijn prima smaakt, en nog heel betaalbaar ook. Nou, hier dus, in dit verborgen juweeltje.

Lindo restaurante italiano, lo encontramos caminando. Las pizzas son delgadas y crujientes y ricas. Y las meseras son muy simpáticas.

Locale vuoto e servizio lento, pizza surgelata. Pasta all'arrabbiata con i peperoni, sembra italiano ma non lo è per niente. Unico lato positivo la bruschetta al pomodoro finita la cena.

Desde el exterior pasa desapercibido este bar pizzeria y pasta. Las pizzas artesanales están buenísimas: masa fina y crujiente con ingredientes natuales que saben a lo que son. En agosto 23 entre los 13 y 15 € cada una, 35 cm. de diámetro. Muy simpáticos y atentos. En el exterior veréis un banco para tomar algo, lo típico en Ámsterdam. Pero dentro tienen sitio para un buen grupo. No es de lo más caro de Ámsterdam y está a un paso entre el centro y el Jordaan. Recomendada 100%.

Very nice pizza and starters - house wine was good too

Pizza bardzo smaczna, lokal ma swój klimat. Obsługa sprawna. POLECAM

Super repas ! Les pizza sont très bonnes, les prix sont très abordable. Et le personnel est très sympathique et aimable. Je recommande si vous voulez mangez italien dans la capitale néerlandaise !

Super restaurant, prix très abordables et serveur très aimable et sympathique !!! Excellent!!

Nettes Lokal, leckeres Essen. Nette und freundliche Bedienung. Zahlung mit EC-Karte/VISA natürlich möglich.

Sehr nette Bedienung, schneller und aufmerksamer Service! Sehr gutes Essen, alles frisch!

The restaurant smelled like a toilet because of the nearby restroom. The food was decent, but nothing like spoken about in the other reviews. Maybe we had a bad day of visiting.

Very nice pasta experience in Amsterdam! Also very friendly staff!

Nice place. My daughter really enjoyed the mushroom pasta, but my salmon pasta was mostly cream sauce. Pretty good cream sauce, though.

Good kitchen. Food wel prepared. Quick service. Will return.

Pasta is not made in the traditional way. The carbonara had heavy cream and the lasagna was not quite right. The prices are not bad and the service is fast, but the food is mediocre.

Leuk restaurant, vriendelijke bediening, heerlijke pizza. En zelfs nog met een bescheiden terras.

Cozy restaurant, excellent food and fantastic price, I recommend it to everyone!

This is a great restaurant for top quality food. We ordered the penne carbonara and a marinara pizza which were so tasty! Really recommend visiting this place for a quite dinner with your family, friends or significant other

Heerlijk verse pizza's. Prijs is prima! De ligging van het pand is wat minder, maar zeker de moeite waard!!!

Lekker eten! Niet lang wachten Leuke locatie.

Delicious food and a really nice atmosphere, for a great price! Will definitely come back again!

Ik heb Toscane leren kende toen ik nog op het Planciusstraat woonde in 2002-2003.Het eten toen was al lekker,gezellig in een oude interieur.Laats eind Juni vierde ik het verjaardag van mijn man met klein groepje van 8 familieleden.Toevallig was lekker rustig omdat het door de week was.Heel cosy,veel meer aandacht gekregen van een hele aardige medewerker of eigenaar ( ik heb trouwens niet er om gevraagd ).Het is weer heerlijk genoten van bruschetta’s , pizza’s , lamsbout,biefstuk,lekker ijsjes als toetje.Ik hoop echt dat hij nog vele jaren kan bestaan.Wij hebben een leuke avond gehad,lekker gegeten.

Heerlijke pizza's..goeie bediening..hou je van een fris/zoet toetje..het citroen kwark taartje is een aanrader

Love this Nice little Itialian restaurant! Lovely menu and friendly staff. Open till late zo a great stop for a bite after a movie at the Movies the cinema across the street.

Unser Essen war super. Die Bedienung sehr nett, fröhlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr italienische Atmosphäre.

Heerlijke lasagna en pizza! Mixed salat en tiramisu, aanraders!

Mäßig leckeres Essen, nichts, was einem wirklich schmeckt sondern hauptsächlich satt macht. Bedienung dafür unfreundlich und distanziert. Auch wenn es ein glutenfreies Angebot gab, wären wir wohl besser in ein anderes Restaurant gegangen. An alle, die es sich überlegen: Besser meiden! In einer Stadt wie Amsterdam gibt es zahlreiche, bessere Alternativen an fast jeder Ecke.
