BOOOOOOO! Learn how to be a good person and a good neighbor to your community and customers. We live across from this restaurant and have for many years enjoyed having the staff as neighbors. Unfortunately, I recently had an extremely aggressive and unnecessarily hostile experience with the owner Maud. I politely emailed and asked her to turn off the street organ they’d been blasting during an otherwise peaceful Sunday afternoon. Of course some noise is always expected on our busy and vibrant Lindengracht, but I explained to her that this noise coming from her terrace was excessive and severely affecting my ability to work. Instead of a neighborly response one would expect from a business that’s meant to specialize in hospitality, Maud (who I’ve never met before despite being her customer and neighbor for years) proceeded to not only refuse to do anything about the blaring noise then or in the future, but also stated that I was no longer welcome at the restaurant. She then had the street organ continue play on. I could’ve just called the police like many other neighbors did that day, considering Maud was blatantly breaking the law blasting a street organ for multiple hours in the same spot. However, I thought it’d be better to email the restaurant directly and have a conversation. I’ve learned my lesson and next time I will call the gemeente directly instead of expecting a neighborly exchange with Toscanini. And if you’re wondering about the food — no great chef lacks a sense of humor or empathy.

One of the worst experiences of any restaurant I have been to all over Europe, and especially in the Netherlands. The waiter/owner was very rude and not welcoming, and did everything possible to make us feel unwelcome. Felt very targeted and racist. I doubt he was Dutch, especially experiencing the very kind and welcoming manner of the Dutch people.

What a lovely evening at Toscanini. On a warm summer evening, we were given a nice spot on the outdoor terrace, with exactly the relaxed atmosphere you hope for. The Berto Spritz with the baguette and anchovies was an excellent start. My wife and I regularly cook from the Toscanini pasta book, but it remains the very best at Toscanini itself. The pastas were pure, well-balanced, and exactly how you want them. The service also made the evening extra pleasant. The staff helped us choose in a very natural way and gave great wine recommendations that paired well with the food. Attentive, knowledgeable, and without any fuss. Toscanini remains one of those places where you feel a restaurant is just right: good food, a nice atmosphere, strong service, and just the right dose of Amsterdam nonchalance. We went home very happy.

What a terrible place; I have never been so disappointed. We booked two months in advance because this was supposed to be *the* Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. Expectations were high... Then, with the appetizer platter, you are suddenly served offal. We thought we were just going to get tasty things like bresaola, mortadella, etc. But oh no: beef tongue and chicken liver. I instantly became a vegetarian! The pastas were also completely uninteresting, tasteless, and not very exciting. The only thing that was good was the scoop of ice cream for dessert, but we might as well have gone to an ice cream parlor for that. The service also came across as uninterested and seemed mostly just running around frantically. All in all: deeply disappointed by this bad experience. We are definitely not going here again; fortunately, there are plenty of other Italian restaurants in the city.

For me, one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam! It was the second time I visited and loved it even more. The menu is amazing and they have always some other dishes of the day. We had the fish of the day and fresh pasta with lamb ragu and both were delicious. The wine menu is huge and the service is super nice explaining everything.

Favorite Italian in Amsterdam. Simple, honest food done perfectly w fresh pasta, beautiful ingredients, no nonsense. The whole place feels alive: open kitchen, great energy, and one of the best Italian wine lists that actually complements the food. Nothing is overcomplicated, and that’s exactly why it works. Finish with the panna cotta - flawless.

We had a very nice evening at Toscanini. The welcome was ok (even if the gentleman at the wardrobe was really too directive and I believe not nice), the table location was OK too but being in 9, one of us had to seat at the corner of tha table (really guys??? That didn't look good at all). About the food: the steak was ok too (served a little too cold to be honest), the lumache with lamb ragu really good and tasty and the coda di rospo really nice too. Wine selection is interesting (strongly suggest the Sagrantino). Dessert where nice too. One simple point: didn't feel the Italian vibe at all.

Sadly, a big disappointment. I booked a table (and paid a deposit) counting on delicious Italian food and exceptional hospitality. Unfortunately, the entire experience since the first minute wasn’t great. We arrived on time and were asked to wait for our table (third ones in a row!) while it has been booked. What’s the point of reservation system if you need to wait to eat? We were eventually sited at the bar and the drinks were proposed to us - naively though it is a free option as a reward for waiting. No, it wasn’t. Next, the service is friendly but not exceptionally attentive or hospitable. I would expect more given the prices. When the waitress asks who ordered that dish, it is a level of bistro/ bar. Food. Biggest disappointment. Although beautifully presented and inviting with some creative combinations, it is simply not great cooking. We ordered a salad and burrata with a deep fried courgette flowers as starters, two types of pasta as mains, and truffle ice cream plus merengue for dessert. A salad was tasteless and bland, not 19€ dish. Burrata - a simple position that is hard to be spoiled - was a supermarket burrata, sour and bad quality product that has been masked with overdone seasoning - too much salt and soaked in an oil (didn’t even taste like an olive oil). A plus for courgette flower - nice addition, but would be better if any stuffing was there. Mains: both pastas were simply not good, neither true Italian (god forbid to say, Toscanini taste). Ravioli lacked any aroma (was supposed to be served in a butter and lemon sauce). Eadible, but nothing more. The other pasta (called alla Sicilians), seasoned with mackerel and fennel, was barely edible. Sour and salty only, no aroma, herbs, whatsoever was simply not good cooking. Thank god my partner was very hungry and decided to finish it instead of me. Desserts - tartuffo ice cream mainly sweet, no other experience or aroma. Merengue- okay, but that’s all. The only great point of the program was wine. We chose Lugana, and as much as almost 12 euros for a glass is on an expensive side, it was very good. Mineral, dry with an elegant deep taste. Others: plus for an ambient and hot water in the bathroom. Overall: I would like to give it a second chance as there are so many good reviews (maybe a chef had just a bad day), but I am hesitant to risk taking into account that this experiment costed us 150 euros for 2 ppl. For 25 euros more per person, you can get fine-dining experience that leaves you mind blown. Overpriced and overhyped.

There was a time when Toscanini felt like a sanctuary. You crossed its doors and immediately sensed you were in good hands-seen, welcomed, and cared for. They wanted to know who you were, what brought you there, and how they could make your evening meaningful. Dishes were introduced with affection, the wine list explored like a map of hidden treasures, and every plate carried intention. It was Italy in Amsterdam, not as imitation but as a heartfelt journey. Six years later, that magic has evaporated. The warmth had vanished. We walked in and felt invisible. The bar waiter barely looked up, too occupied to acknowledge our presence. Menus landed on the table without a word. No explanation of the specials, no guidance through the wines, no sense of connection. Even the food arrived stripped of the grace and storytelling that once defined it. What remains is a void—a place that once shone now dimmed by indifference. We returned out of nostalgia, only to find a version of Toscanini that feels like a reflection of the world's own turbulence: familiar places losing their soul. The little gem we loved is gone, and we departed feeling strangely left alone.

I joked with my friends before we went in: "Maybe it's already a bygone era." But it soon became clear that I truly didn't know anything about it. From the moment we walked in, you could feel it: everything was running smoothly here. We were given a perfect square table in the corner, ideal for easy conversation. The acoustics were also sublime. Despite it being packed on a Saturday night, there was a kind of relaxed calm in the rather large open space. There's also plenty of space between the tables, which only added to the pleasant atmosphere. The service was completely on point. No uncontrolled chaos, no army of staff, but a small team of people who clearly know what they're doing. We opted for the set menu and left everything to us, including the wine selection. The marrowbone, in particular, stood out in my mind, and the rabbit pasta was incredibly flavorful. In fact, everything was simply excellent. With a free wine selection, you sometimes risk bottles costing €100 or more, but that wasn't too bad. Everything remained perfectly within acceptable limits: simply excellent. I have nothing but enormous respect for this restaurant. I don't think I'd been there in ten years, but the quality remains exceptionally high. I sincerely hope this remains one of those enduring gems of Amsterdam's hospitality scene.

I ate at Toscanini again, and the food and service were excellent. The wine list was like a wine almanac, making it hard to see the forest for the trees. The shifts they work are impossible if you want a relaxed meal. It's also a shame they've taken over the no-nonsense Capri restaurant, as this promotes the sameness in the city center, leaving no room for simple, affordable restaurants.

Dont mind the regulation but if it’s super important, please make it bold in the RSVP page, also staff should be a representative of the regulations (grooming should be good) At the end, great food saved the night!

A classic, nothing has changed 18 years later. Nostalgic. It used to be a real leader in Amsterdam and remains a fantastic place for a lovely evening. The service, in particular, is still excellent. However, the quality and selection of restaurants in Amsterdam have improved so much that Toscanini needs to be more inventive and cook at a higher level of quality to be considered a top restaurant in Amsterdam and rekindle that old magic.

Today I ate at Toscanini for the first time with my wife and two friends. We've been married for fourteen years, and my wife has been talking about this place for at least ten. It's truly shameful that I never took her here before. We're true foodies, born and raised in Amsterdam, and over the years we've eaten everywhere in the city. From high-end to low-end, from new to classic. But somehow, Toscanini never made it. And wow, I regret not having been here before. Everything is perfect. The atmosphere, the restaurant, the acoustics, the food—phenomenal. It feels like you're in Italy for a moment. No clichés, just truly good food prepared with love and craftsmanship. The service was sublime, professional, warm, and genuinely friendly. Toscanini is without a doubt one of the few places in Amsterdam that completely lives up to what everyone has been saying for years. We'll definitely be back.

Toscanini is, without a doubt, a culinary institution in Amsterdam, and for good reason. My recent visit was an absolute delight, cementing its reputation as one of the city's better Italian dining experiences. From the moment we were seated to the last sip of wine, the entire evening was great and full of wonderful service. The appetizers set an incredibly high bar. The octopus was simply phenomenal. It was tender, perfectly charred, and seasoned with a precision that highlighted its delicate, natural flavour rather than masking it. It was, as I noted, "extremely nice," which is an understatement, it was a perfect start. For the main courses, I chose lamb and the kalfszwezerik (veal sweetbreads). Both dishes were equally breathtaking. The lamb was succulent, falling apart under the slightest pressure, its rich, gamy flavour complemented by robust accompaniments. The kalfszwezerik, a dish that demands an expert touch, was cooked to absolute perfection, crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside, and profoundly flavourful. These mains were the heart of the meal, demonstrating the kitchen's serious commitment to quality ingredients and classic Italian technique. The wine selection was equally impressive. We ordered a red wine (forgot the name) which was amazing, pairing beautifully with the intensity of the lamb and the richness of the veal. The service deserves a special mention. It was great, attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. Our server was able to articulate the menu, offer insightful suggestions, and ensure our glasses were never empty, contributing significantly to the overall luxurious feeling of the evening. The only slight dip in an otherwise flawless meal was the dessert: While technically fine, it was a bit bland/boring compared to the explosive flavours of the preceding courses. It lacked the same spark and complexity, feeling like a safe end to a meal that had been anything but boring. However, this minor point does not detract from the fact that Toscanini serves genuinely great food in a wonderful atmosphere. It is a vibrant, authentic, and utterly charming restaurant that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. It's the kind of place you book weeks in advance and happily anticipate. Highly, highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, top-tier Italian cuisine in Amsterdam. Rating: 5/5 Stars

Best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam (perhaps even the Netherlands). Price/quality is excellent. Portions are excellent. The appetizer and main course are usually a generous portion. The wine list is masterful. Real gems. Excellent service. Efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Reservations are impossible (more than two months in advance).

The review below was initially shared only with Toscanini. No response (after 11 days), so I've made it public: The food was great, but we weren't impressed with the service. We arrived, were shown to our table, and then had to wait 5 minutes for our first contact with our server. Then we waited 10 minutes for our drinks (Crodini & Negroni) while we watched the bar staff chatting happily. I had informed them in advance that I was pregnant (31 weeks, so it was noticeable) and that it was also my birthday. This information hadn't been read, and I had to constantly check what I could/couldn't eat. I expected the server to proactively mention this for me (my experience in restaurants so far) and at least make a note about my birthday. The red wine was served far too warm (25+ degrees Celsius), which made my boyfriend slightly unwell. There were errors on the bill (after asking for it twice), to which the server replied: "Yeah, I wasn't sure." We thought, "Check it with us then." Instead of leaving the wrong items on our bill. And only after paying/when we got up was a comment made about my pregnancy. Too late, as far as I'm concerned. You have to make a reservation at Toscanini exactly one month in advance, so expectations were high (a bit like Zoldering/De Kas), and unfortunately, I found it a bit disappointing. I don't know if we'll return; there are plenty of good Italian restaurants in Amsterdam. The service is worth it.

We came on the hottest day of the year with reservations at 6:00. There was NO air conditioning and only high ceiling fans so high you can’t feel the breeze. It was unbearably uncomfortable- why didn’t you bring in some fans and put them in each corner of the room? I really felt for the cooks and all kitchen/dining room staff. The food was very good and drinks as well- but I don’t understand why you didn’t bring in fans.

Once again I didn’t get a hype. It’s probably a place for “right” people, from the neighborhood, a place to be to belong to a certain community. You can definitely recognize local Jordaan people from the general crowd. Ok, what’s about the food? Mediocre. My pesce alla messinese was tasty, but nothing really worth 33 euro. The tagliatelle alla ragú di coniglio was under salted. I do understand that there were anchovies and olives but they didn’t make up for the missing salt during the boiling process. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food even though our neighbors were served twice at the same time. The waitress took our bottle of water and refilled it without asking and charged us 6 euros for an untouched water that we didn’t plan to drink. Though the wine cart was really good. I enjoyed my prosecco and white wine.

Personally I won't go a second time. Food is of course not bad, it has to suit you. Small menu and quite expensive. It was busy and it is quite popular there. Service was ok.

I felt the need to write a comment in case there are Turks coming. We went to an Italian restaurant hoping to eat nice pasta etc. but that was not the case. We ordered chicken, it was too spicy and we couldn't eat it. I think it is very out of our taste. I don't think it is worth these prices.

Toscanini has been on our wish list for a long time because we have been cooking from their cookbook: Pasta for years. In addition, we have been getting our Italian wines from Enoteca Sprezzatura for years. We also bought the cookbook here. The lunch was great! What a beautiful place, good and friendly service and the dishes were delicious! You feel like you are somewhere else than in Amsterdam. The wine list is beautiful and extensive and we were well advised about the wines. We will definitely come back! Arrivederci!

We had a lovely dinner at Toscanini, as well as picked up items at the deli next door the previous day. It is worth getting on two weeks in advance to book a reservation. Delicious, sublime, and elevated atmosphere.

Well rounded experience with main and dessert staring the show! Speak easy, cozy and definitely clean place with straight view of the open kitchen. Everyone super friendly and professional yet the service without even full house on lunch, missing bullet points on attentiveness! We had to ask for water and wine refills - not in our glasses, on the table! It’s a family vibe so don’t assume silver service!

Tucked away in the Jordaan neighborhood, Toscanini has long been a beloved institution in Amsterdam’s culinary scene—and for good reason. This Italian restaurant combines authenticity with sophistication, offering a refined yet unpretentious dining experience that consistently delights both locals and visitors. And the ambiance is A-1

I had high expectations for this restaurant, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Firstly, the food was very mediocre - for the price you pay the food was quite bland. I ordered the pasta Amatriciana, which I thought was a simple and easy dish to make that could be turned into something delicious and flavoursome. However, it was quite the opposite of this, instead there was a lack of creativity or authenticity to the dish. This counted for the other duck tagliatelle dish, which was also very bland. Secondly, I noticed one of the owners walking around the restaurant seemed to have had one too many drinks. He came to our table and put down the Parmesan cheese on our table once we all finished eating - he even admitted that it was too late to give it but he still found it appropriate to leave it on our table. I found this quite unprofessional to be frank. And to add to this, we noticed a staff member pouring glasses of wine back into a wine bottle. I found this quite surprising as this was done in a very noticeable place where guests could see this happening. In general, the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and quite cosy. The crowd is nice and if I could come back for just drinks I would, however I didn’t think the food was worth it.

meh. Not not enough food, some people went home hungry. Serving staff should say if a pasta is a insufficient for an adult male. Tuna starter was swimming in olive oil with a tasteless piece of orange - needed some juice to give it a lift. The lamb shank was good but not as good as the beef ribs i made yesterday. It was a nice meal, with nice staff, but something was missing for me. Given how busy it was, it seems I’m in the minority!

I went to an amazing dinner with a group of friends. Everyone (8 people) were super satisfied, despite that we took different options: fish, pork, vegetarian pasta and vegan pasta. Food was super tasty, from the starters through the mains, to the various desserts. Wine list is endless, our wine was great. I was the only vegan person but restaurant catered to it flawlessly. There was no vegan main in the menu but the staff suggested few options that could be made on the spot from which I could choose from. I had delicious artichoke pasta. That day they had vegan brownie so despite being full I found some space for this dessert and did not regret. Service was great, the food was coming slowly which gave us some time for digestion before the next “round”. We also got bread at the start and throughout the evening waiters were filling the drink water on our table.

Sat at the Chef’s Table up front. It was a perfect evening… spectacular menu, shared dessert with a former liefe, a charming server, Bobby. The owner Leo stopped to chat. Lovely, mooi…

Finally had dinner at Toscanini and expectations were high. But they certainly came true. We actually had a delicious meal. Enjoyed. Meat with excellent flavor, crispy potatoes on the outside, but soft on the inside with top wines. The service is also very nice. We would love to come back. Recommended!

They can have amazing dishes and the staff is nice and cordial. I never ordered pasta again as the quality and taste can change. However, I have reasons to think they discriminate a bit. I hope it’s not true. As reposting on social media I noticed being excluded while others are shown off on their page. It’s a very odd and sad thing to do. Giving high school mentally not developed kinda social media management. This isn’t the first or last restaurant. Maybe I am finally feeling how other Arabs feel. I will never forgot on my birthday walking out and their chef was looking with the most unfriendly eyes literally staring. Maybe I didn’t fit the average look of the people who can spend their hard worked money or given money on his slightly overpriced dishes. Are you able to withhold this? Then go as the staff is luckily for suited to broader range of guests. Not only middle aged, fair skin and coming weekly.

This is the second time I have visited this restaurant the first time was 3 years ago and I remembered it with very high standards. I was worried that after so much time I was going to be disappointed but it was just as I remembered it. Delicious, creative, cozy and fair prices. I would highly recommend it, however it is very difficult to get a table.

Very small portions for very high prices. The service needs improvement, and the waiting time for the dishes is extremely, extremely long. When you ask the waiter for something, he goes off to do something else and forgets the request. A restaurant to avoid.

We stumbled upon this place the other night and was able to get a table with our friends. Not only is it fun to watch them make the pizzas, our service Alex was terrific. She was friendly, attentive and so accommodating. Mostly everyone in our group had pizza and I tried the Spaghetti with clams. Everything was outstanding. So good, that my husband and I plan to come back tomorrow night, as it will be our last night in Amsterdam.
