Ristorante Italia Oggi in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

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!

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

Nice restaurant. The cook (presumably the owner) did his best to keep everything running smoothly and to keep it pleasant. Ate Bruschetta, Carnonara and Cheesecake. All very tasty. Got a lot of bruschetta. the pasta quantity could be a little more (pasta fan!), but very tasty. And the cheesecake was great too. Good experience, I would eat there again :)

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.

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

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…

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!

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

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

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!

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

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...

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 .

If you are in Amsterdam, and you like Italian cuisine. THIS is a must got to restaurant. The service is amazing, and the food is more amazing!!

Tourist trap Tired, we opened the door of the first Italian restaurant - a sure bet - on our route. Peccato, from Italian it only has the name, in fact. Here we don't think about your stomach but about your wallet. Very -too -noisy room, giving a headache, very very long wait, "confused" service when we come to take your order several times and despite everything we never get in! No communication with us or each other. Risotto bathed in oil with a little fishy taste - forgot to wash the pan? -an original 4 seasons without artichokes without olives, surely in Dutch style and an industrial panna cotta spilled on a plate for dessert. All this for a very salty addition. Tourists, too bad for fatigue, move on, there are very good Italian restaurants run by Italians in Amsterdam where for the same price we enjoyed a more copious menu and smiles to boot.

Perfect Italian food!! We enjoyed the food, most are made there, fresh and delicious. Frutti de mare was excellent and the homemade gnocchi were very light and tasty . Homemade tiramisu was the perfect ending for us ! Our hotel reception (Monet Garden Hotel) has recommended it and we were very happy with the choice. Highly recommended it !

Worst experience I ve ever had.

Vibrant, family run Italian restaurant with lots of atmosphere. Great menu and the food was excellent. Friendly staff who looked after us really well

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam. The pastas are cooked al dente and full of flavor. The bread is served with a garlic butter and a tapenade which were both delicious. Please note that there is a 6 euro charge for bread! Our waitress was lovely - helpful and friendly. The owner comes by to say goodbye. When you want a break from the local foods, this is a perfect place to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine. Highly recommend eating here.

Real Italian, exceptionally good food!

This is the best place for Italian in the Canals.

Excellent service and excellent food. What more? A must in Amsterdam for lovers of Italian food.

After a long day of museums and walking, this was the perfect spot for our group of seven. The staff was very friendly and patient with all our questions. The food was amazing and so authentic. Our best meal in Amsterdam.

I have gone to this restaurant several times. Their food is good.

Great food, great, well-rehearsed service. 100% recommendation 🌟.

€50.00 for a bottle of wine goes a long way, especially if you order 2 for 4 people

Wonderful food, my wife ordered a lasagna, I confess it was one of the best I've ever had in my life, perfect pasta, balanced filling, impeccable sauce, special attention from Mr. Máximo, who welcomed us and gave us all his attention, I recommend it !!!

loud, italian, cutest service. it was my bf’s bday and they made it SPECIAL ❤️

Lovely place for food and drinks.

Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Also possible to make reservations for large groups (like 10). Everybody enjoyed the food, would recommend it to others!

Go your way. Noisy restaurant, slow service, we were served two bottles of water (one still and one sparkling) without telling us the prices, total: 15 euros. The burrata salad, although 14 euros, contained half a tomato and a few crumbs of mozzarella (not burrata). Very expensive restaurant for what it is, you should flee.

Fairly average experience, very basic for a rather high price. I think you can find better value for money.

Honest review here. Overpriced for what it is. Small portions, chewy steak for €30, focaccia is just pizza dough. There is cheaper Italian in the city that is better. The pasta was tasty, but anywhere can make a decent spaghetti or they shouldn’t be in business.

The food is very good, the price is good for Amsterdam and the workers are very nice and patient.

Best Italian in Amsterdam. Best food and good atmosphere. The parmesan pasta in particular is a highlight

It is one of the most beautiful Italian restaurants in Europe. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We tried the lasagna and it was very, very delicious. The risotto after was delicious. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Don't expect a nice warm welcome! If you are not a regular, expect poor service. Such an awful attitude towards us. I ordered a carbonara which arrived and had to wait 8 minutes for my husband's pizza to arrive. Certainly not somewhere I would recommend.

What a gorgeous wee restaurant and amazing food. Papa and son were the perfect hosts.

Food as you would expect, but nothing special. Highly priced for the service provided. Little staff. It took 20 minutes for the drink order to be taken. Overall, wouldn't recommend it as a great tip.

Would give more ⭐if possible everything was amazing friendliness, service, food outstanding..we were celebrating our daughters/son in law's joint birthdays and they pulled out all the stops!!..made it so special a real occasion 🎂 really warm relaxing atmosphere can't recommend enough...Grazie Molto🌹

Everyone loved the food, atmosphere and service. We walked in quite by impulse and were glad we did. Great choice for excellent Italian food.

This place is worth the stop! Not only was my lasagna amazing but I could tell the staff worked incredibly hard to make everyone enjoy their visit and were engaged from the second I walked in. I love observing and saw them really engaging each and every table! Did I mention my food was amazing!

Perhaps the best italian food outside Italy

It was a very nice evening, with great food and even great service. Definitely recommended!!!

Amazing food and staff! Thanks for a great evening Giovanni!

Had a delicious meal at Italia Oggi on Friday evening. The taste of the food was delicious and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very good! They also score well here on service! I will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, very attentive service and the food is incredibly tasty. The tenderloin is definitely recommended!

The welcome from the person who looked like the owner made a good first impression. The food itself was also very good. However, the price is far too high for the portions you get, even for an expensive city like Amsterdam. Eight ravioli in truffle sauce for €20? It's clear that truffles are expensive, but in my opinion you can expect more for the price. All other portions were also not filling (Carbonara, lasagna, pizza). The fact that 200ml soft drink costs €4 also seems unjustified. We didn't see a menu for non-alcoholic drinks, there was only a wine list. The atmosphere in the restaurant is rather uncomfortable. It was also relatively cold, so some of us ate with winter jackets over our shoulders. The service was okay, but nothing special. So if you don't care about the price and aren't very hungry, you can eat deliciously here.

Friendly service, tasty food. Somewhat limited menu.

Great authentic food and great service.

Very welcoming and excellent food

Very attentive host and server. Helped us get a cab after. The food was very good.

Very good price-performance ratio! Quick and fresh preparation. Nice service.

Good Italian restaurant with a selection of classic dishes. We had the Insalata Burrata, Vitello tonnato, Pasta Bolognese and Spaghetti Vongole. We can particularly recommend the Pasta Bolognese and the Spaghetti Vongole. The starters didn't really impress us. We still really enjoyed our stay and can recommend the restaurant. Good value for money for Amsterdam.

Es war richtig lecker, richtig schön und noch mal richtig lecker!!! Empfehlenswert 100 pro! 😍👍😋😋😋 It was sooo tasty, atmospheric and... once again Sooo Tasty!!! 👍🤩😋👍

The spaghetti parmigiana, tossed with a large piece of parmesan cheese, is the best, I recommend it. The hall is not large and reservations are recommended on weekends.

If you are visiting Amsterdam and want to delight your palate with an exquisite meal, this is your place Italia Oggi ❤️ very excellent service and food!

Quite disappointed with this very well rated restaurant. Friendly service but quite hasty, basic food but not bad in itself, but I deplore the very light quantities. Not a particularly pleasant setting and quite noisy. Final note quite expensive for a not great experience.

A delicious and genuine Italian restaurant. I have been coming here for 15 years and I think it is great that they continue to maintain the quality and experience. That's usually difficult for a restaurant. The people are nice and cordial. Thanks for all the beautiful moments.

Truly enjoyed the food and service. Great place!

The food was excellent. The calzones are guge.

Ambiente accogliente ed ampio a tema italiano. Personale professionale, disponibile, allegro, cordiale, e pronto ad ascoltare le esigenze dei clienti. Cibo ottimo e molto saporito. Consigliatissimo

Last night we had our office Christmas dinner at this restaurant. Everything was delicious and amazing! We had a great experience and i will definitely come back!

House specialty linguini ai frutti di mare was excellent. Pizza napolitana and pane con pasta di oliva i burro was very good also. They were polite and fast. Sophie Loren pictures are a nice touch. Around 30 euros a person, though you can eat for less also. Was worth visiting.
