TOZI Restaurant & Bar, Vondelpark in Willemspark

I made a reservation on Wednesday and received confirmation for Friday evening. On Friday afternoon at 3 p.m., I received an email saying the reservation had been canceled. I tried to contact them by phone, but ended up with a seemingly clueless secretary. She said she'd call back, but didn't. What a huge letdown if you're planning to dine somewhere, make a reservation on time, and the restaurant doesn't even bother to call if they don't have a table at the last minute, or if something goes wrong and they're unavailable. It's incredibly unwelcoming to me!

Rafi was just amazing! Super friendly and helpful, he was patient and answered every question. Definitely made the night even better. Food and atmosphere of the restaurant are great!! Perfect for a group event or date! I would definitely recommend

The food was good, atmosphere was nice but sometimes a little loud. Very nice staff.

Lovely experience and the food is delicious!

what an experience… the tartufo raviolis were out of this world

Wow! What a treat! Food was incredible especially the tuna tartar and pasta course. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The atmosphere is elegant and also cozy. I will be back!

A great spot for a nice evening out! We were celebrating our fifth anniversary here, and everything was perfect. They have three menu options, you can choose A la Carte, ‘Best of Tozi’ and ‘Feast of Tozi’. The latter two being a selection from the a la carte menu, and all dishes are for sharing. We chose from the a la carte menu because we wanted to try some things that weren’t on the special menus. We started with the Sea bream Carpaccio, the Burrata and the focaccia with anchovies. All of which were absolutely fantastic. After that we had the Mezze maniche and the aubergine parmigiana which was to die for. Sadly tho after those two courses we were full, with sadly meaning we still wanted to taste more, especially the cacio e pepe with real truffel! But, as always, there was still some room for the tiramisu from heaven. The food was absolutely amazing and i would recommend everyone to eat here, we are sure to come again. Furthermore it should be noted that the staff made the evening complete. Our waiter was Elia, and he made our evening perfect. Telling us about the menu, helping us choose a good bottle of wine (and making sure our glasses were always filled), and giving us some background on the food upon serving it. You can tell the staff is well trained and are taking pleasure of making your evening memorable!

TOZI provided absolutely sublime food in a very relaxing restaurant where the service was impeccable. Elia and the entire staff went out of their way to take good care of us. The service sets TOZI apart from most other restaurants but the food was delightful. The barrel aged Negroni is something that shouldn’t be missed. We will be back to TOZI.

We saw TOZI in Amsterdam foodie and decided to give it a try. Everything far exceeded our expectations. Every dish was great but the ricotta ravioli with shaved truffle was unbelievable! Our waiter, Stefanos, was knowledgeable, friendly, and took great care of us.

The presentation of the dishes and the exterior of the restaurant are ever so tasteful, and the service is wonderfully friendly.

Sofía was a beautiful, nice Italian girl who helped us so much. Buon servizio. ❤️

Excellent experience overall – the food was exceptional and the service highly professional. Special thanks to our waitress, Sofia, for her attentive and outstanding service.

Very nice food. Portions were a bit small. The coffee was unbelievably bad for an Italian restaurant.

Our waiter, Elia, was very sweet, present and welcoming:) The atmosphere was very nice the whole evening.

Fantastic food fun atmosphere, getting to taste everything was a real treat

A wonderful Italian restaurant with outstanding service and truly delicious food. We had the carpaccio, aubergine, cacio e pepe, and tiramisu, all of which were absolutely delicious. Our waitress, Ines, was exceptionally friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful evening at TOZI Amsterdam! The food was delicious — we especially loved the ricotta ravioli and affogato to finish. The drinks (Prosecco and Tozi Sour) were spot on too. A big thank you to Ines, who was an outstanding host — friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! 💫

Very nice place with an open kitchen and top-notch Italian staff!

Food was top quality, staff was amazing and the atmosphere really great! I asked them to make the "feat menu" which is for two persons, only for me and they accommodate so nicely! I had an amazing 7+ course dinner and enjoyed so much!

Ines was incredibly helpful! Will come again :)

It's not the first time I've come here, and every time it's always a wonderful experience: the place, the people in the dining room, the music, the delicious dishes, everything was amazing, the Caprese dessert was the finishing touch to conclude this wonderful dinner. Thanks guys ❤️

Great place with excellent food. I highly recommend to take small plates(2-3 per person) and share it. It was a little bit pricey though.

Amazing atmosphere and great staff. Best food in a long time.

Nice location and ambience. It's the restaurant within the Park Plaza hotel. Extensive menu, we ordered a burrata, focaccia, Caccio e pepe to share - burrata and focaccia were great but we were not very pleased with the caccio e pepe - very dry and the truffle layer grated on top was not a pleaser. Found it a bit too pricey but Tiramisu and starters were good.

Food was delicious, however, the cacio e pepe was served pretty much cold (still delicious but I prefer my pasta warm). I have been here two times and first time was a better experience (not sure if that was because we had a course menu). Overall, I did enjoy the restaurant and the atmosphere.

Easy yes from me! If you are looking for fine italian dining in the gorgeous Vondelpark area of amsterdam, Tozi is the spot! We had incredible service from our waiter, Elia, who walked us through whole menu and was a delight the whole evening. The highlights for me were the ambience, the service, the focaccia and ravioli.

Super experience Thank you Elia for your availability and skill

Dinner at Tozi exceeded all expectations! Every dish we tried was exceptional (don’t miss the Zuccini Fritti!) some of the most attentive staff I’ve experienced in Amsterdam (we were served by Elia, he was fantastic!) and the setting is just stunning. All windows look out on the beautiful homes surrounding Vondelpark. Wonderful experience overall. Highly recommend coming here for delicious Italian food.

Very friendly staff and delicious food.

The restaurant is so cozy and the food is really tasty

The restaurant is so cozy and the food is really tasty. Our waitress sofia was super friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely come back!

The food was amazing and the service super nice, thanks to our waitress Sofia. Really recommend!

High class, not far from the center with tram 2 and with the peace and quiet of Vondel Park nearby. Very good value for money, even for families.

This restaurant was a really nice surprise! The food was tasty and the atmosphere very cozy. Our waitress Sofia was super friendly and helpful. She took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely come back!

ordered a tasting menu at Tozi & it started out strong! House made focaccia & the tuna were the clear winners. ricotta Cheese & truffle ravioli was a bit overwhelming (personally don’t like ricotta), but the texture was perfection! i wish the eggplant parmigiana were a bit more breaded for texture (overall was a bit soggy & thick with sauce) tiramisu ratio was off although i enjoyed the cup presentation! (too much crème per cookie)

Great experience!! Amazon fotos and service. Elia made us feel like Home.

My son and I ate here during our stay at the hotel and we had a great time! A special thanks goes to the waiter Alessio, who was always nice, kind and super helpful. The food was very good, well-prepared and served with a smile. Highly recommended!

Torrie is the best waitress! And great service!

The experience was amazing Torrie our waitress provided service from the heart and with a smile!❤️ We will definitely be back again!

I love trying new restaurants and coming back if they meet my main requirements: Good service, delicious food, efficient service, and a pleasant atmosphere. I must say that I've wanted to try this place for a long time, and today I finally had the chance to come. I'm very happy with the experience, 100% recommended. I know many restaurants, and this is on my list of restaurants I'll return to without a second thought! Thank you for the delicious food and the good ambiance. I'm a pastry chef, and wherever there's good service and food, I'm happy to enjoy it! Thank you very much, especially to the waiter Elia; he's excellent with his guests.

Had an amazing time at tozi! Skander was very attentive to our table and the service was impeccable.

A lovely dinner with delightful food and pairing wines. Great service from Ines.

It was such a disappointment! My partner took me for my birthday dinner as he tried it before and wanted me to try their great food. 1st, many of the famous options are not available, which we were craving for. 2nd, the food was so disappointing in a way I felt that any Italian Nona would be so pissed to know they call it Italian. The service was bad, I ordered a drink the moment we arrived and I only got it by the last course! Last but not least, with all that, the prices were insane and didn't make any sense whether for the quality or for the portions. I hope they take this review as a feedback to improve, so we can return back and leave with happy faces and stomachs.

First time at Tozi. I will go back because of the following reasons: - the service is great - the restaurant has style - the food is perfectly prepared and balanced - the value for money is amazing Thanks to Elia and the rest of his team, we had a great time. You will see us again soon!

We were very well attended by Elia, the food was good and the atmosphere very pleasant.

Sofia was so great and lovely, recommended the perfect amount too us and was a great presence, the food was also very good!

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food and service! Thank you Tozi team! Definitely coming back!

Ines was very kind and helpful! Good food and will definitely be coming back

Elia and Scander provided a great service. The atmosphere was great and food delicious. I loved the codfish polpette and the lamb. Also, great wine list.

Amazing food & service by Elia best in Amsterdam!

Elia was amazing and we loved all his recommendations. loved the food and vibes st TOZI and can’t wait to be back soon

Perfection, great food, good ambiance and Ines made our night complete. Grazzi!

Elia provided a wonderful service, the food was great, and atmosphere charming. Enjoyed watching the cheesy pasta thing...

The service was great. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We ordered multiple starters and lobster pasta. The food was pretty average

Delicious and cozy food! We enjoyed The Best of TOZI menu; where Skander helped us very nicely with alternatives in connection with pregnancy. We would definitely like to come back again!

Food was delicious! Service was excellent! Elia was a very friendly waiter with a big smile :D

Amazing staff and food! Thank you so much for all your recomendations and the beatiful table you gave me! I'll be coming back!

Most personal hosting and such kindness! Special thanks to Elia and Guido for making the evening the best.

The food was sso nice, I don’t think you can make a wrong choice here! Aubergine Parmegiana and ragu were so nice. Also Skander is a great water!

This place is absolutely gorgeous, the food was so good and our server Torrie was absolutely amazing.. we had a brilliant time, highly recommend:-)

Great experience! Elia was super Nice, very friendly and an Amazing waiter! Also Alexandra was very helpful throughout the dinner! Will be Back!!

I had the best service from my server, Torri! She was really attentive, and friendly. She recommended the Tozzi Sour when I told her I like sour cocktails but not too strong , and it came perfect (no egg white per my request). Highly recommend!

Had an amazing dinner experience! Elia and Alexandra were great, and super helpful all the time!

Torrie was amazing. I enjoyed my experience, from the food, service, and atmosphere.

Elia helped us fantastically, what a sweetheart! While choosing a main course he activated beautifully on a main course. Our bartender Guido made the perfect dessert, a delicious cocktail.

Waiter Elia and bartender Guido made my evening; their outstanding service and excellent recommendations of food and wine guarantee I’ll be coming back.

MOST BAD RESTAURANT!!!!!!! Pasta was cold and tasted like stinky socks. Literally a little bit of truffle for 15 euros extra. There is no sauce and no salad or anything with the steak. So I didn't get any dressing that was supposed to be there. In addition, I specifically asked for medium well and I got it well. It tasted like a shoe sole, or rubber. 9 euros for a bottle of water is also ridiculous. The waiter even says 'we are obliged to sell water to customers by our boss', that is really bad that you are obliged to do that. Worst business there is and certainly not worth it. You spend almost 100 euros on 2 dishes and you are not even full. People, I warn you that it is not worth it and what you see on social media is not true about the praise for this restaurant.

Average Italian, just very expensive for what it is

I visited the restaurant a few days ago and before dinner we had the pleasure of trying the bar. The girl was super kind and helpful in recommending two delicious cocktails. Excellent service and food at the restaurant too. Highly recommended if you want to try real Italian food!

The service at Tozi was exceptional. Elia, in particular, was so friendly and accommodating!

Very good service. Stefanos very friendly and attentive 'We will definitely return.😁

Honestly was so pleasant, great atmosphere and Skander, the waiter that attended us was super nice and helped me make the right choice. I ended up going for a delicious monkfish pasta, highly recommend. Great service, great food.

We had an amazing time at Tozi! The lobster pasta was incredible, and the deserts were amazing too, especially the poached pear. Skander was our waiter, he had great recommendations for wine pairings for us, we felt very taken care of.

The food was good, but I’d like to comment on what I read about the waiter (Iskandar )! I actually faced the same Even if he is Saudi ( HE IS NOT ) it’s not appropriate for him to engage in sensitive political discussions in a public setting I came to the restaurant to enjoy my dinner ! not to be drawn into uncomfortable conversations He introduced himself to me as Tunisian which contradicts your response and raises questions about its accuracy I hope this issue is taken seriously and handled more appropriately in the future

We had high expectations for our dinner, but the service fell short. Our waitress was rude, inattentive, and came across as if she didn’t want to be there. On top of that, the food itself was average and didn’t live up to the pricing. Overall, a disappointing experience that we wouldn’t repeat.

We had the best of Tozi menu which allowed us to try the highlight dishes from the restaurant. The braised ox cheek with jerusalem artichoke puree was the favorite of the night. Very tender meat, rich in flavour from the jus, and smooth puree. The cacio e pepe with black truffle is I believe one of their signatures. Though we appreciated the service where the pasta was swirled unto the cheese wheel, we found the pasta to be slightly undercooked and hard to chew. Scallop with nduja sauce was a new combo we never heard of. Nevertheless, scallops were cooked perfectly and the tangy slightly spicy nduja sauce elevated the dish.

Everything was good. Not great. Had missing cutlery and napkin when the first course arrived, during the second course the plates were missing again and the spaghetti was lukewarm at best and had a little more black pepper than needed, overpowering the taste of the truffle and spaghetti. Seemed like 1 person was missing to allow the staff to be more attentive for the customers. Can’t really complain about the food, it is good. But again, for a restaurant of this caliber, the small things add up to an overall less than satisfactory experience. Not a bad one overall, but could easily be improved.

I would say it deserves all 5 stars. To find us in Amsterdam (I speak as an Italian) we eat really well. We had a cacio e pepe split in two, which to tell the truth I never expected to be so good. (Obviously we are not in Rome) But it was very creamy and made with tonnarelli. We also took black angus divided in two on this I only have to say one thing, the medium cooking was overcooked but still excellent meat. What can I say, a truly elegant and intimate environment. A light note, the reception should be a little more accurate. But really everything was perfect.

The atmosphere is beautiful and the service is great. However, I found the food to be very poor and the portions were small. The price is a bit steep.

Pay attention if you need to cancel your reservation even if it's for a very serious reason, they will take you the money. I made I reservation for 6 people but unfortunately my wife had an intense pain due to hernia. I tried to cancel via the email confirmation and the system was not working. Tried to call and they didn't pick the call. Later the tried to call but I was not with my phone and then just took me 150€ from my bank account. So I'm still curious about the food but I think it's a restaurant more about the money and not about the client experience. NL Please note: if you have to cancel your reservation, even for a very serious reason, they will take your money. I had a reservation for 6 people, but unfortunately my wife had severe pain due to her hernia. I tried to cancel via the confirmation email but the system didn't work. I tried to call but they didn't answer. Later they tried to call me, but I didn't have my phone with me. Subsequently, €150 was debited from my bank account. So I'm still curious about the food, but I think a restaurant is more about the money than the customer experience.

Recently we had an opportunity to visit this place. Our experience was not even horrible, it was just awful. The quality of food was not worth its money, truffles pasta was very spicy and tiny portions, truffle wasn’t fresh at all, none tasty,burrata salad wasn’t great either. In the end, they wanted to charge us more for the water we didn’t drink, giving us some non reasonable excuse. The staff was very unfriendly, kind of rude and lack of professional service, when we left no one even said “thank you or goodbye “ I DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

We came to Tozi after seeing it recommended as one of the must-visit spots in Amsterdam, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. We ordered the Cacio e pepe with truffle and the truffle risotto—both were disappointing. The pasta was undercooked and lacked enough sauce, and the risotto tasted more like plain rice than a rich, creamy risotto. On the positive side, the restaurant itself is beautiful and the servers were friendly and attentive. However, the overall experience felt overpriced and underwhelming. Sadly, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Quality of food is fine. But what an uninterested and worthless service. Everything takes a long time and you have to attract the attention of the service for everything. That does not do any good to the quality of the food.

The concept of the restaurant is to be able to share dishes with several people. I went there alone and was advised by the staff for the order. Everything was perfect: the dishes were very good, the staff very kind and attentive (thank you for your adaptation and your words in French). I recommend it and will definitely come back during a future stay in Amsterdam

Very tasty food, nice service. The super nice ambiance is what I come for at Tozi, it is very cozy

Pricey, nothing special or memorable. If I’m spending this much of money the service should be exceptional and the food must be memorable. Can’t say either of that.Portions are very small, and service is slow ! The waiters forget the orders was another disssapointment.

Really fantastic and delicious food, but very pricey for small portions.

the service by the Greek Stefanos was also very good

The food is so so ok, choice of wine is average. Service and atmosphere - very good!

Nice place. Friendly service from Skander.

We had the “the best of Tozi” menu. Starters, main, and dessert, all was super tasty!! Lovely ambiance and great service! Loved the presentation of the food as well!

Best Italian restaurant in Amsterdam and best service we’ve ever experienced with Danilo! Will definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Food is amazing. Loads of incredible small dishes to start and you can finish it off with an amazing traditional pasta served at your table. 10/10 for our server Danilo.

Nice atmosphere and very good food. The service was excellent thanks to Danilo.

Very good service, Danilo was an excellent host

Second time for us. Once again we had a super fun evening! Our host, Danilo, was knowledgeable and extremely friendly (the rest of the staff was also very attentive). Allergies communicated in advance, this was also taken into account without mentioning it again. It was my girlfriend's birthday and this was also remembered with a gift at the end of our dinner. The food was all good, with the ravioli as one of the entrees being truly excellent. We will definitely come back again!

I had a great experience at Tozi! The decor is elegant yet cozy, and we were seated next to the heater, which was perfect—not too warm. The service was excellent; the staff was very attentive. For starters, we had tuna tartare and Black Angus beef tartare—I preferred the beef, but both were good. The cacio e pepe with truffle was amazing, and the pear dessert was delicious. We shared a bottle of Merlot and ended the dinner with a sgroppino, which I loved!

The service was amazing, everyone super kind and attentive. The tartare is amazing, but the rest of the food is just good, nothing espectacular. I would recommend to have a date, the place is really cute. Not a MUST go, but overall a very good experience.

Small portions for big many. The food is tasteless.

If someone were to ask me which restaurant is expensive and test your patience at the same time you are in the right place! 😹 We came with a reservation and still had to wait in line to take a seat. Even though the (corner) table where we were assigned was empty the entire time. Then we had to wait a good half hour after the first round to have the plates cleared away. Very strange because there were three servers standing together. What was also striking was that the two tables next to us went through dinner much faster. A table came in one round after us and immediately after eating the second round they received their third round, while it took us 30 to 40 minutes just to clear the plates. They also immediately received their dessert, which strangely enough took 20 minutes for us. As a result, this table finished eating before us. We also received a spoon with a piece of hard leftover food. This can happen, but the problem is that no one looked at our table so we couldn't ask for another one. As if we were on another planet. Completely out of sight. Really worst restaurant visited so far. I also work in the catering industry myself, so I really have knowledge about what should and should not be done. In addition, I never write a Google review, but I really need to write this somewhere. Speaking to a person was not possible so here we go 🙂. Truly horrible. And the icing on the cake was that it took fifteen minutes to get the bill because no one wanted to bother to look!
