Ristorante Italia Oggi in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Very friendly staff - happy faces serving us good food ! We went on Christmas evening. Most places were closed but this was open and staff was very warm and welcoming. Place was nicely buzzy, interiors is well done and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My son ordered the pasta bolognese and was fully satiated. Pizza with Tuna also was well done. Food wise, you have good options but the smiling service of the staff won our hearts. Can happily go back.

The food is delicious, the prices are good, and Sergio gave us EXCELLENT service!

The sevice was 10/10 super kind and it was my wifes birthday and they set a music and a cake it was so nice one of the best places

Recommended by a local who has lived in the area all his life. Delicious, authentic Italian food. Warm friendly atmosphere & just a little haven slightly away from the madness of tourist central. Some of the best trattoria Italian we’ve had. We’ll be back!

Delicious food and excellent service!! Very cozy place. We were at this restaurant the last time we traveled to Amsterdam and today we're back again. Spectacular Pasta Parmigiano!! They prepare it right at your table in the cheese itself. Absolutely delicious!!! ☺️❤️☺️

The food is not bad. This place used to be the right combination of good food and reasonable prices. Unfortunately a glass of wine costs 10 euro now! Reason for me not come back again.. paying 100 euro for 2 people, even without a starter is absurd.. sorry

Great location, but a lot of reverb and (too loud) music. A lot of waiting and asking for water, wine, bread, whether we could order, whether we could pay, etc. Dried-out vitello, overcooked meat when I asked for medium. Returned the plate, waited 15 minutes for another attempt, also mediocre. It was removed from the bill. In short, a bad experience. The waiters were working themselves to the bone to make something of it, but that was a struggle. Too many chairs for a too-small kitchen and insufficient staff is detrimental to a restaurant. Sorry, 1 star max. Great location, but a lot of reverb and (too loud) music.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. The service, the food, and the ambiance are all 5 stars. We enjoyed the dining experience so much when we came here in 2023 that we returned in 2025 to bring our entire family!

Best Italian in Amsterdam, can say after years of searching!

Absolutely top-notch. You should definitely go there for dinner sometime. Thanks for a lovely evening!

What a treasure trove of incredible food. From the moment we set foot inside we were welcomed, greeted, and seated together. As a group of 7 during a busy weekend in Amsterdam we were extremely happy. The servers were excellent and the chefs extremely talented. From the bread to the pasta to the wine. Everything was excellent

This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants we’ve been to. The service was absolutely amazing and if you get the chance to try the PASTA PARMIGIANA on the special menu, you will NOT be disappointed!

Great, delicious food. Lovely staff. I very much recommend

The 4 stars are only due to the acoustics in the restaurant. We had to speak very loudly to be heard. The restaurant was packed and very loud... The food was EXCELLENT. The service could have been better. The pizza, penne, gnocchi, and gannelloni were very tasty. The wine selection wasn't great, but that's okay. We would come again!

Very attentive service. I like that the food was very hot. The small menu is perfect. The bread was warm – very good. The olive oil was infused with chili – very good. The ambiance is good. It's a bit lacking in finishing touches. However, that's a very individual opinion. A little tip: it's more pleasant when just one waiter attends to you and not another one asking the same question. It's not a big deal.

Charming restaurant with delicious pasta and pizza that won't break the bank! The staff is also super friendly! We'll definitely be back!

The food is an absolute 10/10, you can really taste that everything is made with love and care. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are super attentive and friendly. Our server did an amazing job and made us feel right at home. You can tell they truly care about their guests. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Amazing service, food was fab, we only found this place as the hotel recommended it as it tucked away. So many Italian restaurants but this was authentic.

The portions are tiny; you need five menus to know what you're looking for. I don't recommend it; it's nothing like the beautiful Italian country it once was.

This was such a nice restaurant! My dinner was amazing, dessert even better! The owners/employees were so friendly and welcoming.

Great atmosphere and delicious pasta.

Best resto so far in Amsterdam. Fantastic prosciutto and pasta. Most efficient and friendly service so far. This is the place for yummy Italian food

Been to Amsterdam twice and this restaurant was a must return to. Food is amazingly clean and authentic. A relaxing part of the city. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal restaurant! I highly recommend it if you love Italian pasta. We came here with our kids, and they got to prepare their own pasta Parmigiano - such a fun experience. Exceptional food and atmosphere. The kids were happy, my wife was happy, and that means daddy was happy too.

A charming restaurant, just off the main road, offering a peaceful Italian dining experience. We went early, so it was still quite empty. Later, the restaurant filled up nicely, with repeat diners. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the food is highly recommended.

Highly recommended. We came here twice during our stay in Amsterdam because many of the dishes on the menu appealed to us. Everything was excellent! From the pasta to the risotto and especially the tiramisu. It's a must-try.

Had a delicious meal, with very friendly service.

Excellent, I had the ravioli, I have rarely eaten ravioli so good, according to my friends, the lasagna and ravioli are also in the same vein. Perfect

We ate at this restaurant a few days ago. The food was good, and the service was friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Super food, lovely friendly service and great location, just off busy Red Light area. Good value for Central Amsterdam. P

After eating Italian for last 5 days in a row during our trip to Amsterdam, we still found an Italian restaurant with unique taste and vegetarian options. The warm Focassia served with garlic butter and olive tapenade is not on menu but a must order. The pizza was customised as per our request. And the warmth of the server was unmatched.

The staff were very friendly and the food was prepared very quickly. The portions were very generous, so you'll definitely be full here!

This is our second time here; every dish on the menu is a delight! We highly recommend this Italian restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam. Excellent service and extremely friendly staff.

Llevamos más de 10 años disfrutando de Italia Oggi, y cada vez que visitamos Amsterdam (una de nuestras ciudades favoritas) nuestra primera cena suele ser en Italia Oggi – a menudo vamos más de una vez. El propietario siempre nos recuerda, lo que hace que la comida deliciosa sea aún mejor! No habíamos estado de vacaciones desde 2019 y estábamos emocionados de volver el pasado abril, e Italia Oggi no nos decepcionó. La comida estaba deliciosa como siempre - prefiero el pan de casa a la focaccia, pero ese soy solo yo - y nuestra servidora esta vez, Marjorie, era maravilloso ... y un hoot - y - un - medio! En cuanto a la comida, la burrata para empezar (TAN cremosa) y la lasaña (¡increíble! ) siempre son un hecho. Hay un montón de grandes platos en el menú, incluyendo algunas producciones de ruedas de queso junto a la mesa, pero esta vez, por sugerencia de Marjorie, elegimos un ravioli de hongos que estaba fuera de este mundo. Terminamos con el tiramisú y nos encantó (normalmente no soy fan del tiramisú). Italia Oggi es relajado y amable y la comida siempre es tan satisfactoria. La casa roja (vino) también es bastante agradable. Comida aparte, entre el amable personal y las conversaciones con las mesas a su lado, es difícil no divertirse en Italia Oggi. Ya hemos reservado nuestro regreso a Amsterdam a finales de julio, y sin duda volveremos. Probablemente dos veces. Por último, a pesar de que Italia Oggi ha existido durante años, el restaurante parece una joya por descubrir porque el conserje de nuestro hotel no estaba familiarizado con él, pero después de escucharnos delirar al respecto, ahora lo están!

Everything is delicious, very enjoyable, definitely a place to come, both desserts and other foods will make you happy.

Gente agradable, excelente bruschetta, pero el servicio caótico y desarticulado. A todos se les servía su orden en momentos muy diferentes, algunos después de que todos los demás ya habían comido. La mayoría de la comida era buena, pero el volgole de espagueti sabía a químicos y parecía viejo y seco.

Had a great evening with 21 men from AFC veterans 1 during the presentation of the Golden Shoe. Delicious food and drinks, top staff. An absolute must.

Highly recommended and delicious original Italian food, Grazie😋

Very nice service and pretty decent food.

It is a cosy little restaurant on a pretty street so the first impression was already positive. The service was very good, we were well looked after. We had the seabass and the steak with roasted potatoes and veggies and they were absolutely delicious. The fish was a recommendation and I am glad I listened. Excellent quality, I will tell all my friends.

Far too loud, with dishes being hurled loudly in the kitchen, and guests even had to speak up over the loud music. The food was mediocre.

RESTAURANTE italiano de calidad normal y precio exagerado. Fuimos 4 perdonas y salimos a 50 euros persona y tomamos pasta y ensalada. Sin postre, ni vino, ni café. Cerveza a 10 euros!

One of the best Italian meals I have ever had. Our bruschetta classica was marvelously simple with fresh tomatoes we were able to drizzle with balsamic vinegar. The grilled prawns had a subtle but distinctive garlic and lemon sauce that paired beautifully with the shellfish. My wife's lasagna bolognaise was superlative- what lasagna should taste like. The restaurant was slammed by an unexpected party of 20 shortly after we arrived. They added a lot of noise, but our service remained calm and attentive, resulting in a marvelous dining experience. The only negative is that we will never return, as we are on a one-time European tour. But we can nonetheless give this restaurant our unequivocal recommendation.

We had an incredible dinner at Ristorante Italiana Oggi — hands down the best in town. The sea bass stew was rich, perfectly balanced, and absolutely bursting with flavour, while the bolognese classica was a masterclass in simplicity done right. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made the whole evening even more special. We’ll definitely be back — highly recommended!

I was there with my partner and we enjoyed the best lasagne of our lives

Nice restaurant. The chef (probably the owner) did his best to keep everything running smoothly and to keep it cozy. Bruschetta, Carbonara and Cheesecake eaten. All very tasty. Got a lot of bruschetta. The pasta amount could have been a bit more (pasta fan!), but very tasty. And the cheesecake was also great. Good experience, I would eat there again :)

Las papas fritas son decentes, crujientes por fuera, pero podrían usar un poco más de sabor. La variedad de salsas es agradable, pero el servicio se sintió un poco apresurado. En general, un lugar sólido para un bocadillo rápido, pero no el mejor que he tenido.

I love this restaurant, if it wasn't for their fantastic Pasta Pamigiana, then for their exquisite cheesecake. Always a pleasure to return here!

We had a group of 23 and the food, service, and hospitality were fabulous. They had a great selection of wine and beverages.

For me one best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam, cozy ambiance and staff is super friendly .

Overall - very positive experience with the food and service, would definitely come back, highly recommend. Friend and I were looking for an Italian restaurant for dinner. We saw the good reviews on this place so decided to give it a try. We came around 19:30. It was quite busy but we could still find a spot for two. We ordered a starter, main and dessert. At first we were served a different starter than what we ordered because the waitress misunderstood our order. But it turned out to be good and we enjoyed it as well as the rest of dishes, so still give the whole experience a solid 5/5. Wait time was relatively short despise the busy time. The staff are friendly and professional. The chef seemed to make food with a lot of passion I could even taste it.

Fuimos a este restaurante antes de un tour basado en reseñas de la zona. El personal era muy agradable y atento. Fue un poco ruidoso al principio (sobre todo debido a un grupo que celebra una fiesta de dólares). Compartimos una bruschetta y pizza entre 2 que era delicioso y más que suficiente. Combinado con un par de vasos de la casa rojo hecho para una buena noche.

Lovely place for dinner, very classic Italian vibes. The owner and servers were lovely and so was the food. Wouldn’t recommend if you have trouble with stairs as their toilets were up some very awkward steps

Precioso, pintoresco, tradicional restaurante italiano. Muy buena ubicación central, personal acogedor. Buena selección de platos típicos italianos a precios razonables. Gran servicio, y, buena calidad. Recomendado por nuestro hotel - me recomendaría!

We were there with our youngest. Very friendly staff and the tastiest Parmesan pasta. We will definitely go back there again.

For the end of 2024, I visited the restaurant with my friends. But this place was the worst. The servers and the boss were racist. Our food came out later than the whites who came in later than us, and we had to keep waiting. And instead of giving us the wine we ordered, we purposely gave us the more expensive wine so we paid more. Even though we pointed to the wine on the menu, we purposely brought another expensive wine. This restaurant left the Dutch memory at its worst. To mark the end of 2024, I visited a restaurant with my friends. But this place was the worst. Employees and the boss discriminated against each other racially. Our food came out later than the white people who came after us, and we had to keep waiting for our food. And instead of giving us the wine we ordered, they deliberately gave us a more expensive wine and made us pay more. Even though we indicated the wine on the menu, they deliberately brought another expensive wine. This restaurant left me with my worst memories of Holland.

We enjoy eating here every year when we walk the Amsterdam Light Walk with our group. Super tasty, great atmosphere and very friendly service. Just a great case. Highly recommended!

Gem of a restaurant, every Italian will feel at home here. Attentive service and very good food. Been to Italy a lot, and here every dish feels authentic.

Best octopus ever eaten 😋 Excellent seafood linguine Parmesan pasta a delight Tiramisu to die for

The best Italian restaurant👌 we liked everything...excellent service Fast, the food arrives hot and on time, the portions are very generous!!

La comida era muy buena, auténtico italiano. La pasta estaba al dente y nos encantó tanto la bruschetta para empezar como la carbonara y lasaña para la principal. El servicio también fue muy bueno y la cocina preparó la comida muy rápido.

Great meal, pizza from a warm plate would have been even tastier, it was now cold quickly, service smooth and friendly, the atmosphere is not spectacular, nice art on the wall, otherwise a bit noisy and simply decorated

Excellent restaurant, quality food, adequate price, Italian flavours!!!

We were a group of 5 on our first trip to Amsterdam and ate here last night. The service was excellent and attentive. The food was wonderful. The pasta was fresh made, the eggplant had great flavor, the seafood risotto was great (not salty light others we have had). Overall it was a great meal for all. Would we go back, absolutely. We even had 2 bottles of wine.

Best pasta I have ever eaten, super sweet owner and nice staff. Definitely worth repeating. Thanks for the Pannettone and see you next time.

Six years since I first posted this and still one of my favorite places ❤️

Sublime, from the Sophie Loren voluptuous paintings, to tastes that bring to mind" the luscious clusters of the vine upon my mouth do crush their wine" Seriously the whole experience never to be missed...as for the staff 💕

Fantastic Restaurant with very friendly staff. Come here regularly.

fantástico en todos los sentidos. gran servicio, asientos, comida, etc. no muy lejos de la estación de tren y podríamos mantener nuestro equipaje detrás de nuestra mesa

Este restaurante es absolutamente increíble. El personal era tan amable y servicial Gio era nuestro camarero que era genial. La comida era fuera de este mundo y uno de los mejores italianos que he tenido. Su pizza es para morirse. Mi sobrina es una comedora muy quisquillosa y solo pide lasaña y también dijo que era de lejos lo mejor que tenía. Y el pan de ajo estaba a otro nivel. Sin duda volveremos. El precio era muy razonable también, que siempre es bueno.

Comida italiana deliciosa con precios razonables. Fantástica pasta, pan y ensalada y buen vino. Esta es una joya en Amsterdam con un montón de espacio para comer y un montón de decoración de Sophia Loren. Llegamos al abrir y conseguimos una mesa sin reserva.

Great food in a busy atmosphere. Was a little disappointed that after splitting the bill, my friend and I had payed in total more than the actual bill…

Fabulous birthday dinner, lasagne was just the best! Thank you.

Food good, just terrible noise. You can't talk to each other.

Sin duda una joya escondida en la ciudad! Después de pasar 2 semanas en Italia estábamos listos para algo de comida italiana mientras visitábamos Amsterdam y WOW este lugar superó nuestras expectativas. El personal era increíble y hospitalario y la comida era fantástica!

BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN AMSTERDAM.

Thanks to the attentive staff for great service and the best lasagna I've ever had. The mushroom ravioli was also outstanding.

Carbonara and bolongese pasta were so good. Authentic. Gio and crew were phenomenal too.

Great pasta options, but limited selection on pizza. Good Italian music playing in the background

Mi esposa y yo comimos aquí dos veces como fin de semana de nuestro tiempo en Amsterdam. De lejos los mejores espaguetis boloñeses que he comido. Mi esposa tomó el especial de Pasta de Salmón y dijo que también era muy bueno. En el segundo ordené los espaguetis boloñeses de nuevo y mi esposa ordenó la lasaña. Si alguna vez tenemos la suerte de hacer una visita de regreso a Amsterdam desde los Estados Unidos, puede estar seguro de que volveré.

We were in town for a cruise and celebrating our 49th anniversary. We have gone here on each of our 4 Amsterdam visits, and booked this nite far in advance for a special dinner. There were 5 of us, and all had excellent entrees.

We ate here the first night visiting Amsterdam and came back 3 more times!!!! there is of course great food in the city to choose from but this restaurant makes you feel like you are family- so at the end of each day you find yourself craving this amazing food and charming company to round out the perfect day in the city. Every dish is fantastic and some of the best Italian food we have ever had! to not hesitate to eat here again and again while you are in Amsterdam!

AMAZING ! The best Italian restaurant possible! If you spend time in Amsterdam with no excuse not to go there, you would really be missing out on something! It’s amazing! The staff is also very friendly!! Thanks again

Si vous aimez la bonne restauration italienne et que vous êtes à Amsterdam , il est interdit de ne pas y aller ! Le meilleur restaurant italien que j’ai était ! Incroyable et personnel magique ! Vraiment c’est incroyablement bon !!! encore merci pour ce moment incroyable

I ate here with my class on a school trip and everyone really enjoyed it :) I'd love to do it again!

Amazing food with amazing people

Delicious pizzas and Tiramisu! Recommended!

Far too high a price for bland cuisine, of mediocre quality, in very small quantities. Very disapointed. Example: a salad for 18 euros actually only consists of green salad plus 3 pieces of pear and 3 pieces of cheese...

Flee, poor fools! Tourist trap. Unpleasant service, bland food and high prices, avoid.

Fantastic food and also great service and atmosphere. Definitely recommended for someone who wants good food.

The best Italian outside of Italy 🇮🇹. The food was wonderful. Everything fresh. You can also see into the kitchen from the dining room. Pizza and pasta are simply great. And the drinks are all Italian. Beer and mineral water e.g. We were here on 7/19/24. Believe me, forget everything else in Amsterdam!!!! I'll be back. (🇳🇱👉🏼🇨🇭👉🏼🇳🇱😉)

We visited the restaurant for the second time today on our short vacation in Amsterdam and were thrilled by the friendly, fast service and the very tasty food. Despite the many guests, the order didn't take long. Big praise to the two waiters and the excellent cuisine. We can highly recommend the “Ristorante Italia Oggi” 👍👍.

After a bad day, eating here was an absolute highlight! Everything tasted delicious and was freshly prepared. The service was also very good. The only negative point was the really loud music, which even got louder as time went on.

Indian restaurant... so, so!! Oops... sorry this review is not for your restaurant!! A thousand apologies I haven't been to you!! 🙏

We had a fantastic meal here in July 2024. We are 2 adults and 2 kids and the food was simply superb. The host and hostess were friendly and efficient. We had starters and main courses which were delicious fresh and good value. The toilets were very clean - very steep stairs up to them though. I would recommend Italia Oggi and hope to go back some day.

Horrible welcome. I came with my friend to ask if they have some menu for the drinks and one waiter answer aggressively « we are a restaurant, not a bar, good night ». Zero consideration and really unpolite, I really don’t recommend.

An excellent restaurant where I often visit for a delicious Italian dish. Definitely recommended for a nice meal.

Horrible service, horrible staff, unsanitary conditions. I do not recommend it

The food was great. One lady from the service personal seemed unmotivated but the 2 guys were friendly. The ambience is relaxed

Excellent restaurant with great service! Food selections were amazing and I settled on the pasta with salmon which was out of this world. Kindly recommend this restaurant if you like Italian food and you’re in Amsterdam .
