Ristorante Pizzeria La Brocca in Wijk 09 Stadshart

What an amazing Italian restaurant! We had an incredibly delicious meal here and the atmosphere was truly fantastic. I went with my grandparents and we had a wonderful evening. The food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. Everything we were served was incredibly tasty, and the presentation completed the experience perfectly. The service certainly deserves a compliment as well: friendly, welcoming, and attentive, without feeling overdone. You can tell that there is real passion for food and hospitality behind this place.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, enthusiastic people. It was so nice that there were balloons for our mother's birthday and fireworks with dessert. We really enjoyed ourselves, so highly recommended!!

Top place, delicious food, lovely people, highly recommended. The meat is so well prepared you'll be licking your fingers.

Family-run restaurant. We felt very welcome. An absolute highlight of the evening!

This restaurant is absolutely recommendable. The staff is very friendly and truly dedicated to their work, demonstrating genuine hospitality. The food was excellent, as was the location, situated right on a small lake. We enjoyed our first evening there so much that we spent the next two evenings there as well.

Very friendly owners, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Simply wonderful! The food is so delicious. The family is incredibly kind. The owner always has a kind word for everyone! It's so cozy and we had a fantastic time here! Many thanks to the family at La Brocca!

Ended up at La Brocca by chance from the Achterhoek, where we were surprised by very tasty (also visually appealing) meals in a pleasant ambiance. Beautiful location and reasonable prices.

The first thing that struck us was the hospitality; what a warm welcome, how welcome one can feel. The service was excellent, complete with tips and recommendations. Try something other than pizza sometime; we certainly enjoyed it, it was very tasty. La Brocca is certainly not a standard pizzeria; that would be doing it a disservice. This is an Italian restaurant with passion and ambition, and it simply radiates from it. We are happy to have discovered that we can also go close to home for good Italian food.

Went to eat on the recommendation of a colleague, excellent

We ate here again for the first time since the new owners took over. They are doing their best and it is paying off. We had a delicious meal and the service was friendly. The prices are reasonable, which means you can go out for dinner here spontaneously a bit more often.

The food was very tasty and the service was exceptionally good. With a view of the city park and pleasant music in the background, the atmosphere was also great.

I ordered two pizzas, one of which had a rotten piece of onion on it. Furthermore, the toppings were roughly and largely chopped. The piece of onion was also a large piece, so I could clearly see the rotten part. After calling, I was informed that the pizza maker had gone home. I therefore understand that nothing more could be done at that moment. I hoped that I would be contacted the next day. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Poor service in my opinion.

Delicious food and good drinks.

Very hospitable welcome, exceptionally attentive service, delicious food. A while ago things seemed to be going less well, but for us, La Brocca is completely back!

Mushroom pizza with extra onion and salami... Tasted good but where is the mushroom and salami?

The food was great and the staff were lovely. We will definitely be back.

The food is okay, but I would strongly advise people against going out for dinner around 6 pm on Saturday night. Pizzerias are usually quite fast, and we thought we could grab a quick bite after a show, but we had to wait 2.5 hours for our food. People who arrived later got their food sooner, delivery orders just kept coming in, and we had to put in quite a bit of effort to get drinks even though there was plenty of staff around. I give the service an extra star for the hard-working owner, but my feedback would be: mention in advance that it will take a long time and provide regular updates on it; ensure your staff proactively offers drinks and, if necessary, extra appetizers or bread without burdening the kitchen; and either reduce your staffing on Saturdays or do not accept delivery orders during peak times.

Always very tasty and great service!

The food is delicious, and so is the wine. And they are warm and hospitable, certainly worth mentioning. Now you just need to proactively inform your guests that you are struggling with a staff shortage and that turnaround times are longer (like the hospitality industry generally). That way, you generate understanding instead of irritation. Focus on dine-in or takeout, not both when you are already tight on turnaround times. Train the staff or deploy them correctly; cola without a glass (ice/lemon slice), and not setting the main course yourself is really unacceptable.

We had been there since 6 o'clock and finally didn't get our food until a quarter to 9, even though we were with a group with small children. We even had to ask twice where the food was and received no explanation or apology as to why it was taking so long. Other people around us were also complaining that it was taking so long for the food to arrive.

Delicious food, large portions, and lovely people!

Delicious and honest Italian. House Limoncello. We will be back here again.

I recommend this restaurant for the food, the welcome, the fantastic staff and the very elegant atmosphere.

We had a delicious meal, a lovely time, perfect service, and friendly owners. We mentioned that we had been together for 25 years and there were singers playing; so thoughtful. Highly recommended!

Delicious! Had a great meal! Relaxed atmosphere and music. And the limoncello is highly recommended!

Delicious food and great service!

Good service and delicious food! We sat in a nice spot by the window. As a surprise, a small firework was also brought along with dessert for my birthday! I definitely recommend visiting this pizzeria!

We had a delicious meal and the service was friendly. It's also great that they have delicious gluten-free pizzas!

Friendly staff, food super tasty

Wonderful Italian restaurant! Nice service, lovely people, and delicious food!

Had a delicious meal together with my wife, highly recommended, pasta and pizza at their best, a restaurant run by one family and even if you want to know a bit more about the wines they can explain it in detail if you ask! I recommend the tagliatelle prepared in a large Parmesan cheese wheel that is flambéed beforehand with....🤫Brandy, for us the third time now vegetarian, not without reason what a delicious dish fresh olive oil cream and Parmigiano mushrooms mmmmmmm I can hardly stop talking about it! Do it!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 bellissima! Ate there again yesterday, it's becoming so beautiful there! See photo of the bruceta😉👋🏻🇮🇪 Went back for a repeat visit recently! (I will upload the new photos) delicious again, it feels like coming home devoured it, enjoyed it every time! better, blissful! And only at De echt Italiaan do they have Lambrusco! This time the white was also delicious, the ribeye was delectable!!! hidden under the arugula🤣 Surprise!🥗🍲🥘🍕 Well be back!

The food is very tasty, and the service is very good.

Delicious Italian. Really good food and affordable.

Great food. Wonderful service and atmosphere

New owner, was present with the whole family. Delicious pizzas, well-topped and everything fresh, of course. I am a big eater and this was not only delicious but also very filling. Took part of my wife's pizza home. Definitely coming back!

Had a delicious meal, definitely recommended, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. The interior is also very nicely decorated.

Today, my boyfriend and I ordered cannelloni. By accident, we weren't aware that it doesn't automatically come with minced meat, so it is vegetarian. Luckily, the staff handled this very professionally and made us a delicious cannelloni with minced meat ❤️🥰 Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience with our family. The flavor and passion radiate from every dish. Simply delicious, and the atmosphere is fantastic too. It's nothing like the previous owner's business anymore. They took over around 2023, and it's been a night and day difference. We hoped for it, but didn't expect it yet, but we got it in full force. A true asset. Highly recommended.

We weren't welcome with our dog. Extremely unwelcoming.

What a disappointment. I ordered over 50 euros worth of food. It was supposed to take a maximum of 50 minutes. After 65 minutes, I called. The employee said the delivery driver had been gone for about 10 minutes, so it should arrive any minute. After another 25-minute wait, our food finally arrived. It was lukewarm and not very tasty. The packaging could have been better. I won't be ordering from here again. A waste of money.

Delicious food! Super friendly service, fast, and well-priced. Definitely recommended. Beautiful restaurant, atmospheric, and conveniently located by the water.

Delicious pizzas, great atmosphere, and excellent staff. I really enjoy coming here.

We were back again, and had another fantastic meal, this time with the lamb chops in red wine sauce – delicious! What a wonderfully cozy restaurant this is. A warm welcome, delicious food, and excellent value. They have lovely Italian Puglia wines, as well as wonderful Macedonian wines. A nice, extensive menu, pizzas, and also delicious prawns and tenderloin. Definitely worth a return visit!

Great restaurant always friendly and delicious food.

Not a real Italian restaurant, and the service and food are terrible... The quality is so low that people go there, but they also like junk food like a frikandel.

La Brocca is highly recommended! The food is delicious, from the pizzas to the pastas, everything is well-seasoned and freshly prepared. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel instantly welcome. The service is excellent: they're thoughtful, fast, and always with a smile. Combined with the cozy atmosphere, this restaurant is a wonderful place to dine. We'll definitely be back!

Used to have delicious pizzas. Ordered them again. But what a disappointment. Bland, bland, and tasteless. A bit of flavor and seasoning were completely lacking. Maybe they've tried a different pizza place after the takeover?

I came to the Ristorante Pizzeria La Brocca just because me and my best friend were hungry and wanted to try a restaurant we’ve never been before. The pizza was good, the staff was friendly and the vibes were cozy! The price was pretty alright. I’d definitely recommend it. 🍕

We drive 45 minutes to eat here. A truly warm, hardworking Italian family. You feel the hospitality and warm family bond the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly and attentive. Whatever I order, from pizza to a mixed grill or a surprise menu, you taste the freshness of the ingredients and their perfect preparation. If you're in a hurry, it's better to order pizza from them, because here you'll be pampered for hours, spoiled with the most delicious dishes and drinks, in a beautiful, warm, family-friendly setting by the water.

Yesterday, I went to La Brocca with eight colleagues. We had a wonderful experience. A real Italian family atmosphere. Honest, beautiful products that tasted delicious. Hospitable people. And a lovely wine. It wasn't our first time there. But a solid 10, and see you soon!

Delicious food. Special dinner made to order. Huge amount and incredibly good! So much left over, so I'll take home two more days' worth of food.

We thought: let's give it a try. What followed, unfortunately, was a complete disgrace. After waiting for 45 minutes, still no drinks, let alone a menu. In the meantime, we were moved from one table to another three times for no apparent reason. The food didn't make up for it. I knew there was no buffalo mozzarella, but what I got—a mountain of cow's milk mozzarella with a tomato the size of a tennis ball—wasn't necessary. And the "rampenade" sandwich lived up to its name: a complete disaster. The service, organization, and cuisine were all subpar. It's a shame, because the place has potential, but you won't be returning anytime soon. We only had the appetizer, and we were completely full.

We waited fifteen minutes for a drink order to be taken, which took another fifteen minutes. Then, after 20 minutes, a menu was brought, and after another 10 minutes, our order was taken. And our pizzas weren't delivered until an hour after we were seated.

Made a reservation for 6 people, including 2 children. The restaurant was half full, and the delivery went smoothly. But after waiting 2 hours without an apology and sleeping children, the food arrived. Shame on you.

Always delicious food here, whether you order pizza or pasta. Very friendly and hospitable service.

We ate two pizzas, they tasted great and were made right in front of us. The tiramisu as a dessert was also excellent.

No wine list, and yet they're pouring a wine for €48.00 a bottle. And I didn't eat the carbonara.

The food was good value for money, and the restaurant's atmosphere was also nice. The way you're treated is very pleasant; you immediately feel welcome.

Nice food, good price quality / service.

I came to this restaurant with my 15-month-old baby and simply asked if we could sit near the window a cooler, more comfortable spot. The area was completely empty, not reserved, and clearly available. Without any explanation, we were refused and placed in a hot, uncomfortable corner. When I asked why, no clear answer was given and shortly after, I saw other guests being seated in the very area I was told was “not possible.” The way we were treated felt dismissive and frankly disrespectful. As a paying customer and a parent with a small child, I expect basic courtesy and fairness neither of which we received. This was not just poor service, it felt like selective treatment, and it left me feeling deeply uncomfortable and unwelcome. I left immediately and will never return. We then went to Wonders just next door, where we were welcomed with kindness, seated in a comfortable spot, and treated with real hospitality. That’s how guests — especially families — should be treated. If this is how you choose to treat families or certain guests, you should seriously reflect on your values as a business.

I had a wonderful dinner there with my girlfriend last night. The staff were clean and friendly, not rushed, and the food was truly delicious. We will definitely dine there again in the future.

While on vacation, we were looking for a pizzeria at short notice and found it here. Very friendly service, even for families with children, delicious food, and excellent value for money—we highly recommend it!

Very tasty and very friendly staff.

Great relaxed atmosphere, good food, overpriced beer. Update July 10, 2025. Food still perfect, cozy place, highly recommended. Friendly service, generously topped pizzas, a bit messy.

Fantastic service The food is just as good as in Italy itself, and the people who work there are always friendly.

We stumbled upon this pizzeria by chance and sat outside. Very friendly staff. They made a real effort to speak German with us. The food was incredibly delicious. Two days later, we used the delivery service to Luna Park. The staff here were also great when ordering. The delivery went smoothly, and the food was still very hot. Highly recommended

Had dinner there tonight. Definitely recommended. Delicious pasta for the kids, Pizza, Steak, Salmon and Shrimp just perfect. Good wine, service and attention. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 40 years and this business deserves a compliment. Many thanks for a great evening.

Dear staff, unfortunately no feeling that you are in an Italian restaurant, staff is not Italian, did not even see the owner, the spaghetti looks like thick noodles, such a shame, and not al dente, but really melted, too bad too bad

Top pizzeria. Nice service and great atmosphere

Delicious pizza and great service

Delicious pizza and tiramisu eaten! Nice service and atmosphere. Worth repeating!

Simply delicious pizza. Don't be too difficult. The lasagna is also great.

Delicious pizzas, very good atmosphere, top staff. Really enjoy coming here.

Yesterday, April 11, 2025, we went to eat at La Brocca with 6 people. We are not from the area ourselves, but the person who took us had already eaten at La Brocca and told us that the food was delicious and cozy. It was indeed true that we ate delicious pizza and pasta, tasty and large. To conclude, the self-made tiramisu 😋 man, it was delicious, I don't like tiramisu myself but this one got a 9. The owner more than praises this man, friendly, hospitable and up for a chat. The service is also excellent, nothing but praise. So if you're in the area, eat there and definitely want to come back. Gr Eric Joosten from Haarlem.

We recently had dinner there with our family, pizzas were okay for the kids, but my pasta was just very heavy because of the sauce with gongozola cheese in it, I asked if the cheese was overpowering, the man said absolutely not. However, I did not eat half of the plate because of the terrible structure and overpowering cheese. Ps (I had 4 overcooked shrimps in my pasta) I thought it was sad and not tasty, my partner's food was fine, then neatly indicated to the service, after which they became unfriendly and we were still allowed to pay the full amount. We won't be coming back here again...

Lovely place, very hospitable service.

Had dinner with 17 people tonight. The food was nice and hot, very tasty and more than enough. In addition, a pleasant atmosphere and good service. Great!

is not an Italian restaurant but a crappy place with bad staff and the owners have no idea what they are doing, they are a bunch of amateurs.

Delicious food, friendly service and cozy atmosphere! Highly recommended, will definitely come back

very bad service........food takes hours before you get it. Worthless tent!

Delicious food, good portions and friendly staff.

very bad place... staff with a big mouth... you have to wait hours for the food... very bad place never come there again!!!!

Super friendly people and delicious food!

We hadn't been to La Brocca in a few years, but things haven't improved. Carpaccio was still frozen. Reported it to the staff and received a new one, but it was also still frozen in the middle. The waitress did apologize, but was allowed to pay the 16 euros. Shame!

Tastiest pizza margherita ever! A nice family restaurant. 100% recommended EDIT: Dropping by again after a long time. Still the nicest and tastiest place I have passed by! Tiramisu is delicious. Pasta bolognese was exactly what I expected. And I have no words for the foccacia anymore. RECOMMENDED!!!

Tasty food, good wine, friendly staff and owner. Not expensive.

The order was placed by telephone and delivered to your home. Delivery was made within 45 minutes. The food was hot, super tasty and good service. We had 2 pizzas, lasagna and spaghetti bolognese. Definitely recommended!

Very nicely and warmly decorated, friendly and caring staff, delicious food, we had a great time. Grazie for the good care

Very nice meal with friends. As a starter we had baguette and focaccia with herb butter and as a main course pizza, lasagna and Aglio e olio. And delicious desserts. Super friendly service and everything affordable.

Pizza's still fine Only the service after you have received your pizza leaves much to be desired. You are forgotten, if you have already finished your pizza, and ordering something to drink was not possible. It probably has a different owner .

Service is great, pizza delivered quickly and fresh!

We had a delicious meal there with a matching wine. Really enjoyed it.

Pizzas were delicious, only service was poor, we asked ourselves if we could order a dessert, then we wanted cappuccino and had to ask for it ourselves, more attention to the customer, tip might be to ask regularly if everything is to your liking, was not asked once!!

Very friendly staff, we just dropped in without a reservation, the owner didn't make a fuss and put us at one reserved table and the drinks were served quickly and we had our pizzas within 20 minutes, recommended to come back to Pizzeria La Brocca.

Ordered pizza salami with extra mozzarella. I'm certainly not the most difficult when it comes to pizzas. I don't mind too hard, too soft, too greasy (etc). But after struggling to eat two pieces I put the pizza down, the cheese tasted strange and the texture was almost bubble gum. The salami was sweet and also had a strange aftertaste. Maybe it was a one-time thing, but I won't order from here again.

Really tasty food and friendly service!!

After waiting two hours for my pizza, I receive a pizza dripping with grease, really one hunk of cheese. I am very dissatisfied. After reporting my dissatisfaction by telephone, I received the response, "annoying". If you like a good Italian pizza, I absolutely do NOT recommend this restaurant.

Pizza, ordered with a request for fried egg instead of boiled egg on it. Shawarma pizza absolutely great. Padana was everything on one pile, 3 cm thick + boiled egg. Called and we received a new pizza with fried egg... Upon arrival... Pizza now continues to be great. But another boiled egg. I shouldn't complain, egg is egg. And you got a free pizza... Which isn't true, because you had to hand in the old one. Staff very rude. That's not how you treat customers. If they also deal with allergies in humans in the same way, you better have epi at hand.

Thought I would get an old-fashioned pizza at La Brocca, which has often been fun in the past. Arrived early because of the little one, after waiting 1.5 hours I just asked, but unfortunately despite all the eye contact they had forgotten us, unfortunately a bad experience and never again
