Trattoria Koevoet in Jordaan

Delicious food and wine. The place is atmospheric and authentic. We sat by the open window. The owners are Italian and super sweet and quick! Truly a place to celebrate something if you happen to have the budget for it. It is totally worth it then.

The food incredible. The thing is we arrived at 21:10 while they open by 22:00 and we were told that the kitchen is about to close so we could order only 1 course.

Beautiful old-world restaurant with an amazing atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. The charming historic interior makes the whole experience feel extra special. A wonderful place for a memorable meal!

Wonderful Italian restaurant in the heart of the Jordaan. Always a treat to be there.

Cold cut plus main course and fine white wine

Super cozy atmosphere! The staff is incredibly fun and involves you in the whole experience! The food is also incredibly delicious!

Fantastic authentic Italian food in a lovely former brown pub in the heart of the Jordaan. And friendly service. We will definitely be back!

Excellent food, great atmosphere, friendly staff!

Had a wonderful and fun evening! Always good!

A wonderful discovery. For lovers of authentic Italian cuisine in a charming setting with excellent service. A warm welcome and a small menu, often a sign of delicious, homemade dishes. A journey to the heart of Italy in the center of Amsterdam.

We were so happy when we found this Italian restaurant. Very good Carbonara, good sercice and nice staff. Truly a "hidden gem" 🍝 🥰

Very good food, nice staff and reasonable prices. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend the carpaccio di terra and the carbonara.

Cozy, intimate, excellent service, but above all, delicious food and a great Barolo 🙏

So friendly. You feel like you are in an Italian home. I will go back every time I am in Amsterdam.

What a find! Looks like a traditional bruine kroeg but serves up really good Italian food. Lovely service as well.

Amazing hidden gem, great food and the loveliest service

Amazing pastas and very tasty wines❤️

Enormous noise in a small restaurant where everyone kept talking louder. The music has to rise above that. Too expensive for the quality offered.

You won’t taste better pasta wherever you go! Delicious Ragu with tender chunks of slowly braised beef.

real trattoria ran by italians from different southern towns. unforgettable set of dish. visited twice during a five day visit to amsterdam. try to make a reservation before visiting!

One of the best dining experiences I have had. Everything was phenomenal. Excellent food, excellent service, overall just an amazing time. I can’t wait to come back!

The menu is small, but they offer special Italian dishes. Even the beer is Italian.

The best Carbonara I have EVER tried. Like EVER. Wow

First of all, they have incredibly attentive staff without that slick hospitality behavior. The ambiance is atmospheric, cozy, and romantic in the best sense of the word. And the food is really good: melt-in-your-mouth meat, a good balance of flavors, classic Italian with a quirky touch.

Fantastic food, super kind staff and perfect interior

my fav Italian spot in Amsterdam

Such a good place. Really friendly, good quality food!! Would def recommend!

Had a delicious meal, friendly service, and a good atmosphere!

Fantastic food, we ate a carpaccio as an antipasti. Than for primi Ragú Napolitano & Carbonara. My mother described it as the best Italian food she had ever had. Luigi was a great guest host.

The food, the service, and the place, everything was amazing!

We had an incredible meal. The atmosphere and ambience were amazing. Local. Delicious. Best meal we have had in Amsterdam. Highly recommend.

Cozy restaurant with professional service in the heart of the Joraan. A restaurant to return to.

Service and food selections were excellent- our group of 5 each ordered a different main dish and dessert and then passed them around for all to taste test. All 5 stars!

What a lovely, atmospheric place this is! The atmosphere of a traditional Jordanian pub, but with high-quality, authentic Italian food. I’ll be coming back here much more often :)

Koevet Trattoria was a real discovery! The place is beautiful and well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at ease. It's a classic Italian trattoria where tradition and quality meet perfectly. The staff is extremely kind and always attentive, while the cuisine is simply top-notch: delicious dishes, carefully prepared using quality ingredients. It truly feels like home... a place I'll definitely return to.

Small, cozy Italian restaurant. We had an excellent meal, but reserving in advance is a must!

I loved it! Food was amazing and service as well 🥰 And the cocktails also great!

The quality of the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and charming. It truly felt like being in Sicily. I absolutely loved my experience and would definitely come back again.

Great food. Menu is simple but sophisticated. Keep making great food.

Fantastic food, top service and warm atmosphere

Cozy place with excellent food, great spot for a date.

💕What a joy it was to end our wedding day with our 20 guests at De Koevoet for dinner.💕 The food was delicious, and we were well looked after. It was truly a treat to end the day with our guests here. Everyone was so busy with each other, the delicious food, and the wonderful wine that we forgot to take pictures. But take it from us, and our guests, it was fantastic! Thank you, and we'll be back for dinner soon.🥂

Best pasta bolognese I had in Amsterdam!

Amazing food, excellent service and great vibe!!

Drinks and service were great and the venue but the lasagne was so dry. Disappointing food. Friends also said the same with their food.

Delicious food and relaxed atmosphere and great service.

incredible cocktails and fresh pasta!

This is a truly wonderful place to enjoy delicious food and fine wines. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and they're so helpful throughout the evening. Highly recommended!

Super friendly staff and very helpful. Fantastic atmosphere and great food!

Very cozy small restaurant, amazing real Italian food and very friendly staff away from the typical tourist spots. Very well worth a visit.

The starter and pasta were original and delicious. The three lamb chops were cooked very hard and not very tasty. They were €32. There were a few wines by the glass. Nothing special, but quite expensive.

It's a small restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. The interior is beautifully decorated. The food is amazingly good and definitely recommended if you're in Amsterdam!

The atmosphere is very good and the waiters are friendly 👍

Had a great evening, everything was perfect. Atmosphere, hospitality, quality food. No nonsense, Italian ladies who create a good atmosphere and serve good food. Truly fantastic.

Best Italian cuisine experience!!The service was excellent and food was delicious 🥰 Really thanks to Stefano and Emanuela 💪🏻

I often come to Amsterdam for appointments and this is the place to go!!!

A carbonara to come back for: al dente pasta, silky sauce, and crispy bacon, generously seasoned with black pepper and delicious pecorino. A cozy, intimate, no-nonsense living room setting with attentive service. Honest value for money—highly recommended.

Entrecôte arrived grey, completely lacking a sear, and undercooked (more rare than medium rare as asked). It had no flavour from proper browning — very disappointing. Ragu was tasty! Carbonara almost too aldente. Atmosphere cosy, friendly service. Real shame about the steak.

A beautifully intimate, friendly restaurant with incredibe food. Nestled in a quiet residential neighbourhood, only 15 minutes from Dam Square. The staff were the friendliest staff we have ever seen in a restaurant. We had such good chats, like we were sitting in a friend's dining room. The food was so authentic Italian. The pasta I had was obviously fresh, and the best pasta I've ever had. My wife even gave the staff hugs on the way out. Absolutely a great find, that most tourists never know will even exist. Go here if you're anywhere near Amsterdam.

Just WOW! As an Italian living in Amsterdam, I can’t recall the last time I’ve felt this excited and impressed by a meal. Trattoria Koevoet is absolutely wonderful - the building, the atmosphere, the food. I would absolutely recommend this place to all my friends (especially the Italian ones!) and have no doubts they would love just as much as I did.

Fresh homemade pasta, delicious flavors, and genuinely kind service. A lovely spot — we’ll definitely be back!

I was celebrating a special occasion, and we had the "bad luck" of arriving 15 minutes late, but they still took care of us and served us wonderfully! We were lucky enough to have the restaurant to ourselves for an hour. From then on, we shared a room with someone I will never forget, but that's a secret I can't reveal! It was an unexpected experience and an unforgettable night. The food is exceptional, and the vegetarian menu is highly recommended! The desserts are exquisite! The cocktails are wonderful! And don't hesitate to ask for wine recommendations! They will give you excellent advice! My experience exceeded my expectations, I'll be back!

It seems the chef has been changed here. We have been coming here for over a decade, once a year, and last night we were underwhelmed by the food unfortunately. We found the whole experience different from the past. The food was nice but not ‘wow’ nice like it used to be. I hope they can find their feet, the new owners I mean.

Koevoet is an amazing restaurant in Amsterdam: the food was delicious, the atmosphere cozy and welcoming and the service amazing! Grazie mille for this great evening.

A gem in De Jordaan! An AI gave me a list of traditional Italian restaurants and this one stuck out. And I don't regret it. I had Broccoli è Gorgonzola for starter, and Ragù Capriolo (roe deer) with pasta. This with a good Valpolicella Ripasso and bread with olive oil made my evening. A real treat!!

Truly a hidden Amsterdam gem ❤️ the food is delicious with a changing menu so you always have a reason to go back. My favourite is the bolognese with a historical recipe - best I've ever had!! Been coming here time and time again for the cosy atmosphere as well as the place is run by family and friends. If you want authentic Italian food with a modern twist, this is the place for you. The building is historical with that true Amsterdam feeling with details dating back to the 1800's. Amazing place!

💕What a party it was to end our wedding day with our 20 guests with a dinner at De Koevoet.💕 The food was delicious and we were well looked after. Really a party to end the day here. Everyone was so busy with each other, the delicious food and the delicious wine that they forgot to take pictures. But take it from us, and our guests, that it was fantastic! Thank you and we will come back for dinner soon.🥂 Below is our first review with photos; What a nice restaurant. Food super fresh and the service very attentive. A somewhat more expensive restaurant.

Nice, small tent with delicious classic dishes, manageable wine list, smooth and friendly service and nice atmosphere. Enjoyed it very much.

Delicious Italian food and everything served by Italian staff

If you are fan of the Italian cosine, this is a must in your next trip to Amsterdam or must also be in your favourite bookmarks in case you live here. Run by Italian brothers, they put all the effort in quality and good service. I have already been there 4 times, and hopefully there will be a fifth soon.

Food was not bad, average. But in relation to the price absurdly expensive. Given the good reviews I have doubts about the taste of the average visitor. Pleasant ambiance though.

We were very spoiled here during a dinner with colleagues. Really delicious food and drinks. Everything just felt right.

A beautiful family intimate italian restaurant in the heart of a buzzing area. The starters are great we had the meat carapaccio which was devine. The motzarella salad was nice and two pastas without meat which were also great. The atmosphere is very nice . The service was great. Really a good place for a dinner . Highly recommend

Entrecote excellent delicious please want medium rare and pasta with octopus and clamp

I likey likey. Very friendly and attentive staff. Wine selection and atmosphere is superb. The food is classic Italian and its great but could also be a bit more exciting.

Beautiful and cozy Italian trattoria in Jordaan, we ate parmigiana and gnocchi and it was absolutely mind blowing. The taste sent us all the way back home in Dalmatia and we really enjoyed it. Prices are higher but definitely worth it. Wait until you try lemon meringue pie, cherry on top of the dinner! Kudos to chefs and lovely waiter. :)

Brilliant and authentic Italian place. Hidden gem.

Trattoria Koevoet is a hidden gem in the Jordaan. The interior seems to be from the year 0, but that gives the charm to this authentic business. The food is delicious and the atmosphere feels like a time travel to old Amsterdam. A unique place where you can really enjoy classic Italian food. Definitely recommended for those looking for something special!

One of the best Italian restaurants in Amsterdam. We visited 3 different Italian restaurants during a 6 day visit to Amsterdam and ended up eating here twice. Service and food were phenomenal. Will absolutely be back.

Review: Trattoria Koevoets – Italian as Italian should be In the heart of Amsterdam lies a hidden gem where Italy comes to life: Trattoria Koevoets. This cozy and atmospheric restaurant proves that real Italian food is not only about taste, but also about experience. From the moment you step in, the warm, cozy ambiance embraces you like a family meal in a traditional Italian osteria. The menu is an ode to pure, authentic Italian dishes. No fuss, but flavors that speak – exactly as they should. From perfectly prepared pastas to classic antipasti and delicious secondi, everything breathes passion and craftsmanship. The carefully selected wine list completes the experience. Whether you come for a romantic dinner or an evening of dining with friends, Trattoria Koevoets feels like coming home. Here you can taste Italy at its best – honest, pure and unforgettable. An absolute must for those who love real Italian!

Sometimes you eat dinner at places that are so exceptional they break your heart. This was our experience here - exceptional wine, exceptional food, exceptional hosting. We discovered it accidentally and I can confirm we will be back for birthdays, anniversaries and Tuesday nights. I can recommend EVERYTHING but most of all the Carbonara. Please do yourself a favour and eat here immediately

Old Amsterdam style Italian restaurant. Delicious food, pleasant service. Surprising top evening.

Found this eatery via Google Maps. After reading the reviews we reserved a table. It is a small, dark and attractive restaurant. It was quite full so you sat close together, but that didn't bother us. The service was very friendly. The choice of beer and soft drinks was limited, while the wine list was very extensive. As a starter we had a wooden board full of different cheeses and meats. Fine! We both had pasta as a main course. We didn't think the portions were very large for the price we paid. We also thought the pasta was cooked very al dente, almost undercooked in our experience. Could have been a little longer. Flavors were otherwise good. The dessert, the tiramisu, was delicious!!

10/10 experience in this wonderfully authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam. The service, food, everything was just fantastic. Lovely selection of Tuscan wine as well.

Esta es una verdadera joya. Pequeño restaurante, en un antiguo pub que ha sido restaurado amorosamente a (supongo) el estado que podría haber sido en 1920. Tuve un negroni que fue una revelación - utilizan un licor de naranja siciliano que añade un toque afrutado encantador. El carpaccio de terra era generoso en tamaño, la carne era hermosa, y el aderezo era lo suficientemente sutil como para dejar pasar la carne, pero añadió un poco de cítricos. Terminé con una carbonara clásica de espagueti. La pasta estaba fresca, cocinada exactamente a la textura correcta. La salsa - simple, rica, profunda - era encantador, y el tocino era excelente. Este es un lugar pequeño, ocupado, y el personal era encantador, pero obviamente muy ocupado.

Had the most sensational time here. The team are incredible and the food was perfect. Thank you so much for having us! 10/10. Xxx

Trattoria Koevoet offers a cozy and intimate dining experience in a charming old house, perfect for a relaxed evening. The food is fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor, making it worth the visit. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and warm atmosphere fully justify it. Highly recommended!

What a surprise for us. Had a delicious meal with the three of us at this real Italian trattoria. It is a very cozy place with a lot of love. In the kitchen and also in the service. Grazie mille.

Authentic dishes with a small menu so no stress about choosing, but it can be too tight when the restaurant is completely full.

A very nice and authentic trattoria in the heart of the Jordaan. You will receive a warm welcome from the staff and the food is really delicious. Also very good price/quality. We ate a delicious fresh pasta with Nduja and tuna heart caviar. 10/10 would recommend

Italian restaurant in old Amsterdam café "bruine kroeg". Looks from outside and at entrance are a bit more spectacular than once seated in the back. But still, it is a very unusual combination of cultures. Waiters are Italian. Menu is classic Italian but basic, not very modern or adventurous. But food is good.

Trattoria Koevoet in Amsterdam is a true Italian gem nestled in the heart of the canals. The seafood plate, generously garnished with langoustines and clams, is an array of marine flavors expertly balanced by perfectly al dente pasta. Bottarga linguine, subtly enhanced with iodized aromas, is a tribute to the elegant simplicity of Italian cuisine. The Aglianico wine, rich and velvety, perfectly complements the meal, each sip bringing a depth that enhances the dishes. The final touch, a trio of homemade sorbets, offers a light and refreshing sweetness, ideal to end this feast. A must for lovers of authentic Italian gastronomy!

Amazing Italian restaurant! It gets quite busy (rightfully so!), so make sure to have a reservation. Delicious authentic cuisine in the heart of Amsterdam! Personal recommendation: parmigiana di melanzane :)

Delicious food, traditional Italian, nice atmosphere and top service

Real old-fashioned brown pub with top Italian food!

Tuvimos una gran noche y todo el mundo disfrutó de tan deliciosa comida y un excelente servicio del personal que realmente hizo para una experiencia especial.

Had a lovely dinner with the four of us tonight! Tagliata di manzo, risotto ai funghi and what did my sister-in-law have again? It was all tasty. Very friendly owner from Naples and cheerful, attentive service. Small, attractive and cozy with authentic Amsterdam decor. We will be back!

This was a recommendation of our Airbnb host & it did not disappoint. Small. Cosy, genuine atmosphere. Food was very traditional Italian. Very good, as was wine. A lovely spot. We didn't make a booking but were extremely lucky to get a walk in. Place was completely full so I recommend a booking. Of special note was the service. One guy serviced the restaurant & he was completely on the ball. Very impressive.

Cramped place, small portions (especially compared to the price you pay) and you shouldn't expect anything special from the food. The service is not good, there are not enough people at the counter to properly serve the number of customers.

Beautiful old Jordanian building. The name does not suggest Italian food. The friendly Italians do their best, but the food deserves a little more attention.
