Ristorante papa Carlo in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Had a delicious anti pasti for the second time, really delicious and varied, delicious as an evening meal because it is really a lot and varied, highly recommended

I went with my girlfriend for lunch, we stopped when we read Italian restaurant and also seeing the good reviews but there was absolutely nothing Italian. I had a carbonara if you can call it that, it was just cream and ham. They should have seen the recipes before improvising dishes.

The service was amazing!!! We felt welcome and attended to. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. If you want some fresh tasty Italien food, this is the right place. :)))))

Dear staff, and what was also delicious

Very tasty food and a lot of choice and very friendly and funny service and nice cozy interior and atmosphere

Service was amazing, and food was delicious! The food came really quickly, and it was overall a great experience.

The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Was disappointed we didn't try the pizza, so we went back the next day. Same situation, excellent food, and friendly staff. Would definitely return in the future.

Great food with great staff so friendly

Great food. Tasty pizza that was already pre-cut which was easy. It was quiet so we were always helped quickly. Although the restaurant suggests otherwise, the toilets are a bit less tidy (crooked toilet seats).

Even our smallest one, Laura, loved the food + atmosphere :-)

Great time! Great energy and such nice service. So grateful for a good dinner! grazi!

Lovely food lovely service, super entertaining while having a heartful meal. With love from Singapore 😁

The food was authentic and delicious. Service was excellent too. Love the service and will definitely visit again if I'm in Amsterdam. Great venue for family too.

Good food with good quality. The tiramisu is especially recommended. The pasta is also very tasty. The price/performance ratio is right.

For our dish: authentic Italian food. Italian waiters. Food was delicious! Super nice people, glad we found this.

Came here with a large group and it was perfect!!!!!!

Great food, attentive service. Would recommend any day.

Small portions. Food has no flavour. Charge you extra 3 euros for parmesan, which should come with lasagne anyway. Manager got aggressive. Don't come here

Absolutely loved Papa Carlo! The food was delicious, authentic Italian flavors that truly hit the spot. Every dish was full of taste and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy meal or a relaxed evening out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a genuine Italian experience in Amsterdam! ❤️😋😋

What a nice place! Real Italian top pizza and pasta. 🍝 Thank you for the Limoncello! Ciao!

Food was great and the staff very welcoming, best place to spend my birthday

Great and kind service, food was excellent, spagetti with sea food and fantastic Italian tiramisu! Thank you!

Very fine Italian ambience, wonderful pizza, friendly service, everything perfect, thank you very much, a presto!

Sunday lunch, good value for money. Generous portions of spaghetti and risotto both with seafood (maybe a little too much garlic but it's to everyone's taste).

Very nice, the atmosphere was good and the food was also very pleasant

A pure delight. I recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely friendly and good food!

Really friendly and authentic atmosphere

Delicious! Hani was a terrific server! Will come back

Nice pizza place😝 I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place other than it’s nothing spectacular. The salad was nice and their olives were actually delicious! Both pizzas were tasty as well but it just didn’t stand out to me. The waiter was friendly and there is plenty of seating and it’s in a great location. I just think for 20 euros I could get a better pizza elsewhere.

Nice and very cordial atmosphere. The dishes are tasty and served quickly.

Amazing Lasagne! Second best I’ve ever had. Very nice environment and Nadia is the best professional waitres

We had dinner here on May 3, 2025 with our bachelor party. They had very sweetly hung up some balloons. The main course was tasty, but very little. Until we got to dessert...mine was just moldy?! After I took a few bites I found out. This is really not okay! The waitress indicated that this would be taken off the bill (which subsequently did not happen) and offered a glass of water. I've been nauseous and had a stomach ache all evening. They really should have done more about this. Moldy food is not done anyway, but neither is how they deal with it! I will never eat here again 🥲

Good service, with a smile and wonderful food

Very tasty and friendly, 95€ for 4 people.

Good selection in the menu. The food was very tasty. The waiters were a bit stressed and I found the atmosphere a bit hectic. The place is nice but a bit small.

The food was delicious again. Owner is very involved and takes good care of you as a guest. We came back for a second time, will definitely come again!!! Highly recommended if you like good and tasty Italian food with a good glass of wine.

Delicious food and friendly service. We'd love to come back

People were kind and funny and food was great!

I ate very nice pizza here, the staff is nice, we had free limoncellos at the end

Pizza quality ready in less than 10 min…no recommendation at all. The restaurant smell really bad. Waitress smoke outside and bring the smell inside. Touched our pizza without washing hands. Distgusting!!!!!! A fake italian. Very Overpaid!

Great food and lovely friendly service!

Good luck!!! It was great, the pizzas tasted very good!!! The service was friendly and we laughed a lot!!

Great service!! Nadia was amazing and prepared the best espresso martini! and food amazing!

Great experience! Pizza delicious, pasta con pollo also. Really warm welcome from the staff (came with a child), great atmosphere, very nice food! Recommended to everyone!

This was the best pizza I've eaten in a long time. The service was also quick. The dessert was very good. The prices are also more than just fair.

Some very good pizzas. Excellent service. Highly recommended

I'm from Noortje from Weesp and I had a very tasty pizza. We will definitely come here again!

Pizza and Pasta, all very great!

First impression mega 🥰🥰 Food is really good too 👍🏻🤩

Very good value for money. Not the best Italian, but good. Fast service and friendly staff.

Their food is delicious and the place is warm But the place is tight

Tourist trap. The waitress pretends that the card does not pass so that she can charge customers in cash.

Very good food, super friendly service. Family friendly, gladly again :)

The restaurant has flair and the service is so nice and friendly. This was our second time there and it was simply unforgettable. The food, we had pizza and salad, was very tasty! Of course the prices are higher but that's what you expect when you go to Amsterdam! We'll definitely be back

Eight members' family who couldn't easily find a place to eat, found this restaurant and enjoyed real Italian food with great service and really friendly staff. We really recommend it.

We went here for a quick bite to eat enroute to our hotel and we're very pleasantly surprised. The food was authentic Italian and very tasty. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Also nice to be able to pay cash in Amsterdam.

Food was amazing and very fast service. Definitely recommend

The food was very good and we had a lot of fun. We can really recommend this place :)

An Italian restaurant with real flavors. The staff were very kind (especially the Sardinian boy who served us!) and the place was very nice. Fair prices for the quality of the food. I recommend trying the lasagna!

Quality food, gnocchi and risotto perfect portions, although the spaghetti comes in small portions.

A great place to enjoy Italian food. We were a large group of 12 and they made us a great meal.

The staff was so friendly and made our experience delightful. And the food was top notch!

I don't know about other dishes, but the pizza is delicious. We ordered 4 different ones and one was better than the other. 4 pizzas and 4 beers €80

Absolutely fantastic experience, the staff were very nice to our children and the food was delicious :-) we would love to come again

Very satisfying food, even very good! However, the waiter looked like he came straight from a coffee shop. Incompetent, incomprehensible, understands nothing, tactile, macho, but kind Thanks for nothing

Food here was amazing! We got the ravioli and Bolognese and were very happy. The owner is a cool guy. Highly recommend

Very good stuff, and delicious food.

I had rissoto with chicken and mashrooms and it was amaizing, recommend 100%. Cozy place, with good serviss and deliciouse food. P.s.- bills can not be seperated and it is recommended to pay in cash, but you can also pay with card👌🏻

Best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam, loved it

Good overall, the food was authentic and Italian. The service was good and with good humour and attitude. Gave us free limoncello for a good review, which would not have been needed :))

Great place, great italian food with really good taste. Simply great.

I had dinner here during my stay in Amsterdam. The decor is beautiful, and the atmosphere is fantastic. The food was delicious, I had the spaghetti bolognese, would definitely recommend.

This place is SUCH A GEM!!!! The food was delicious, the ambience was pefect- day and night!!! And the service ( Nadia) was amazing! Everything was great- highly recommend!

Amazing staff, amazing food, highly recommend!!!

Ate here tonight with a very large group and had a great meal. Food was wonderful especially the mixed grill entre, and service was really fast (especially difficult for large groups!) Truly enjoyed our evening.

Gorgeous food! lovely service , recommend the pizza and lasagne . brilliant for allergies

This place was fantastic! The food was great and the service was better! They were very attentive, would definitely recommend.

Amazing food and service. Tiramisu was life changing!!! Must go.

Lovely food, super fast service, great portions. We loved the antipasti platter and the tiramisu! Thank you for the friendly welcome.

Super calm environment, lovely waiter, food reasonably price and great flavours. Will definitely come back❤️✨

Lovely place in one of the most charming areas of Amsterdam. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish. The staff is friendly and the food is DELICIOUS! Grazie mille Papa Carlo!

Super top Italian restaurant, friendly staff.

Everything was perfect, spectacular, Nadia the waitress was very good.

Food is very average. There is no salt and pepper here. The service draws you in when you look at the menu outside, you feel welcome, or at least for a moment. You will be taken out again as soon as you were inside. Our food was cleared while we were still at it. Change is not returned, but they are waiting next to your table with a rag to clean your table and use it again. We had an aperitif here and ate a main course in 25 minutes. Hi, and bye again at the same time!

Always when I am in Amsterdam, Papa Carlo must be

Exquisite Nadia, everything spectacular, the food

Restaurant in a central location but… + largely friendly staff + Online reservation possible + central location + nice ambience + Waiting times (food; drinks) not too long ! Card payment is possible, but cash payment is requested (if possible) ! Splitting bills is not possible (one bill per table). (-) Price-performance ratio is average at best (-) Quality of the food was OK. (bruscetta, pizza), but overall very lightly seasoned and sometimes not as described on the menu (e.g. no home-baked baguette) (-) Unfortunately we had to specifically ask in order to be able to reorder food and drinks and a drink was forgotten (it can happen) - sometimes particularly high drinks prices - White wine was of poor quality (Chardonnay) and there was no indication of the quantity in the menu - Pepperoni oil was of very poor quality (neither spicy nor taste of olive oil) - Cleanliness of the toilets (but this is also due to the fact that there is only one toilet for women and 1 toilet for men) When paying, this restaurant apparently explicitly asks for a tip, which I'm not familiar with. In view of all the criticisms and the high drinks prices, we just rounded up the bill amount. The waiter then laughed, took the money and told his colleague at the cash register audibly. She was visibly upset and I received a lot of 20ct and 5ct coins as change without comment... I think both the negative points and the reaction of the service team are a shame. Overall, I wasn't satisfied with the visit, I won't be coming back and unfortunately I can't recommend the restaurant. In my opinion, a realistic rating would be around 3.3 out of 5 possible stars.

1a Quality, very friendly service, really good pizza and salad, fast service

Very delicious Pizza, recommended!

Very nice food, good service and a lovely atmosphere

We went at 9:10 p.m. for dinner, and Google said it closes at 11:00 p.m. They brought us the starter at 9:30 p.m. and the two pastas at 9:40 p.m. After 10 minutes they started to close. All the candles were blowing out, the TV and the music were turned down and they brought us the bill without telling us anything and the worst thing was the woman started removing the plates from our table. I asked him "don't you close at 11:00 pm?" and he answered "it's just that today we were very quiet and the boss decided that we should close at 10:00 p.m." Even if that were the case, you must respect independent clients whether there are 2, 4 or 100 of them! We were left without dessert, fortunately we didn't order a whole bottle of wine.

It was a delicious Italian experience :) The pizza was amazing, and the service was great. We will definitely come back to try the dessert!

Really good food, and fast friendly service.

Nadia is fantastic very friendly and welcoming and the food is amazing! Highly recommend

Cosy, small restaurant with tasty food

Food was amazing! Given the best table in the house, Nadia gave us an excellent wine rec, and our orders were prioritized as the restaurant became busier after we arrived. Will totally come back!

Very good food and service. Free liquor 😀

Good place! really Tasty pizza and good service!)

We had a wonderful time. The food was so good. I love papa carlo
