Trattoria La Borsa in Rotterdam Centrum

При посадка всего лишь 7 столов, я ждала на официантку 20 минут! Так же у людей которые пришли после меня заказ приняли раньше, потому что они были внутри, а я снаружи. Так же она была не слишком приветлива( возможно выдался плохой день). Паста вкусная

The food was excellent, service very good. Easily spotted an empty glass and not too much in your face. Lots of options on the menu, really enjoyed my pasta stew and good wine. Outside terras is ideal if the weather is good, good balance between shadow and sun.

Didn’t even get a chance to check the taste. The waiter forgot about mine order.

Last Thursday evening, my girlfriend and I had a super delicious pizza here. I had the Pizza Rustica with mozzarella, chunks of a special homemade Sicilian sausage flavored with anise, truffle sauce, arugula, and Parmesan cheese. My girlfriend had the Pizza Salsicia with tomato sauce, mozzarella, the same homemade sausage, mushrooms, and onion. They even put a bottle of homemade spicy oil on the table to make the pizza spicy. These pizzas were so delicious, and it's been a long time since I last had a good pizza! The dough was delicious, and for once, it didn't taste like a tough cardboard crust after the third slice, but was really light and lightly crispy around the edges, right up to the last slice. The restaurant was recently taken over by two Italian brothers, one of the guys told me, and they're super nice and polite. I'd read some less-than-stellar reviews, but I think some people sometimes get carried away and think they can do whatever they want in a restaurant, which is a real shame. Unfortunately, dissatisfied people are more likely to write reviews than satisfied ones. I understand that Mark Rutte, Rene van der Gijp, and Rob Geus are regular customers, so I think they're doing something really well. The price isn't an issue either. Fantastic pizza with exceptional value in a prime location in Rotterdam city center. We'll be back soon!

The impression is twofold. On the one hand, I liked everything, but on the other.... One of the dishes was mixed up, we ordered one, but they brought something completely different. The food is delicious, no complaints. But, will we come back here again... unlikely....

Delicious food and a very friendly owner.

A place that serves Italian pizza. We ordered a margherita, coffee, Americano, and latte. A busy restaurant with delicious food.

We ordered a vegetarian pasta but not only that we found minced meat in it there was also a hair in the food! On top of that the situation was not handled properly. Really disappointed!!

It's a shame I can't give zero stars. Service clearly isn't a top priority here. I ordered two pasta dishes, one containing hair and the other meat (while I'm a vegetarian who ordered a veggie dish). I discovered this along the way when I discovered traces of ground meat. The solution: no apologies, just awkwardly asking for my money. And when I angrily walked away, the owner's son shouted, "You ate it!!" As if I should have known there were traces of ground meat in the dish. We didn't eat the other dish with the hair, of course. Unfortunately, I paid the bill because I didn't want to argue. I'm actually quite annoyed with myself. The quality of the food isn't what it used to be. They're clearly skimping on quality.

Very tasty food, good portions, I will definitely come back here more often

The food was very good, and the service was very friendly. It's definitely worth going.

It's bizarre, to tell a woman she can't use the restroom. You can ask for a contribution, but refusing to let a woman use the restroom is rude behavior. I wouldn't eat here either; you already know what kind of service to expect.

The food is delicious and the waiters are very friendly

I ordered seafood pasta in tomato sauce and cannoli for dessert. It was very tasty! The service was also at a high level. Thank you🔥

I've been here many times over the past few years, and the new owner's takeover is a real improvement. The atmosphere is friendlier, the revamped menu is excellent, and the quality of the food has clearly improved. As far as I'm concerned, the restaurant is definitely one of the best in Rotterdam again!

Yesterday we were introduced to La Borsa, and I can assure you this place is a must-eat. After walking around for a bit, I decided on this place. First, I had a drink and waited for my wife and one of my grandchildren who were shopping at Zara. Things like this always take longer than expected and make me hungry. From that moment on, I was amazed. The menu was good, the service relaxed, and the food was pure Italian. No Dr. Oetker or Pizza Hut-style recipes, but passion and authenticity. That's why I'm writing this review. I was surprised and delighted, and I truly enjoyed Italian food.

We had such a delicious and affordable meal here. Incredibly kind brothers with a passion for the business. They proudly talk about their father's dishes, who also has/had a business in The Hague. Italian through and through!! Be sure to ask for their advice, which they give us, and we followed it, and it was delicious!! Keep it up, guys! We'll definitely be back. Best, Jan and Yvon,

Very nice service and the food was great

Delicious restaurant with a lot of choice ! Thank's to the Chef

I order PROSCIUTTO E FUNGHI pizza. €15.5. But it doesn’t look like prosciutto.

Good restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. The food was good but nothing special. The staff also lacked English skills. Instead of sparkling water, we received still water, and instead of apple juice, we received orange juice. The tables are too close together. But overall, a good restaurant.

It was lunch time so the restaurant was full and it had tables near each other but I still got a comfy feeling there. The decorations were simple and nice. The staff was feeling nice and friendly. Food was really good! And non alcoholic ginger beer was the best thing (I love those)! But the minus was that my friend ordered salmon pizza and fist there were a couple bacon pieces in there, they made a new one and then there was one piece of salami. My friend doesn't eat red meat but she's not allergic to it. Just wondering how that can happen two times. But she liked it and just took the meat away. Someone can be allergic. But it was really nice and good, I would go there again! The menu was too big and there were too many options but we found good ones. 🤗

A real delight thanks to a friendly and attentive team. 👍👍👍

This restaurant was always a convenient place for me to eat after an afternoon of shopping in the city just for convenience. Since the takeover by two brothers, it has really improved. At first I went for convenience, now I really come here especially. The food has improved a lot. In addition, the two brothers who run the business are really friendly and social. It is nice to see how they have breathed new life into the place. Definitely recommended if you are looking for good food and a nice atmosphere

Since the new owner (2 brothers) the food is very bad and the food has become much less and even more expensive. If you ask something you get a blunt answer back. You have to wait a long time. Owner is in his nose and then cuts bread. I spoke to him about this, you get the answer I am sick. In the past when the old owner was there I went regularly. Now NEVER go back. PS I left him food and drinks. Didn't drink or eat anything.

Been coming here for years, never disappoints...

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. Only tables are very close to each other

Absolutely delicious! I had the Pasta Alfredo at LA BORSA and it was incredible — perfectly creamy, rich in flavor, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was great. Highly recommended if you’re a pasta lover!

Almost didn't dare to go here because of the many bad reviews, but still pleasantly surprised. Always came here years ago. I think there is indeed a new owner, but the pasta is still super tasty and the staff is actually a lot friendlier than the former staff. So I had a good experience. Especially go there if you feel like a tasty pasta or pizza in the center of Rotterdam.

It's a wonderful, special Italian restaurant, in Centraal place of Rotterdam. Best Calzone, ever I eat .Nice people !! If you choose pasta,you nt regret, is delicios!!

Caneloni and Pasta bolognaise very good !!!

Changed under new ownership Smaller portions, pizza with less toppings Had different flavors of pizza, tasted the same Under the old owner, you went there specially, stood in line outside, Now you walk on like this so quietly As a regular customer of la Borsa Looking for someone else Don't go back here again

Great Italian food, in a central area and with very friendly service! We have been very comfortable!

Ze zijn van eigenaar veranderd en dat is wel te merken ging voor de lasagne en de laaste 2× was deze echt minder niet meer wat het geweest is dat,vind ik echt jammer

Do not go here. Staff is very rude and unfriendly, very unpleasant from the moment we entered the place.

DO NOT go here (anymore)! Since the place was taken over by a new, young, rude owner (at least he says he is), it's not what it used to be. They have a falling apart high chair, and as soon as our child (just 1 year old) had thrown too much food on the floor in the opinion of the owner, a grumpy baby came our way. "A child just has to eat neatly from a glass plate and otherwise you just stay at home." The food was even taken away in front of him because he was just making a mess of it. Apart from the owner, it really didn't bother anyone. When we expressed our dissatisfaction at checkout, we were sent away in a very unfriendly, quick-witted and unprofessional manner. Even filling our little one's water bottle was too much for this man. We go out to eat quite often with our child and we have never been treated this way. Then just hang up a sign saying no children are allowed. We have tried to leave things a bit orderly, as always, but that doesn't matter here. Other staff do their best to remain friendly and also actively try to help find an alternative to the lack of a changing mat or something similar. Changing a child on the table for lack of an alternative is also unacceptable. The portions are smaller than we are used to. The negative reviews we see here are absolutely no surprise. It's a shame how years of name and fame are so quickly thrown into the trash. We have been here more than 10 times in the past 4 years but we will never come here again.

My husband and I have enjoyed coming here for years, but after tonight we will never again! The food is fine, smaller portions but otherwise fine. However, the treatment has really deteriorated! Firstly, in the absence of an alternative such as a plastic plate, my son, just 1 year old, was eating his bits of food from the table, when out of nowhere and without permission, a young man swept the food off the table in front of him. We were then continuously looked at by this man and it was clearly visible that he was talking about us. We felt looked away and very uncomfortable. When I asked this gentleman why he did that at checkout, he said 'what do you think?! He made a mess.” A 1 year old child!!! According to him, my son had to eat from a plate and if he cannot eat from a normal (stone) plate then he said we should not come. I expressed my dissatisfaction, but there was no understanding for this at all. We regularly go out for dinner with our son and we have never been treated this way. Turns out that this young man is now the owner too. When he said that I knew enough. It is clear that customer and child friendliness is lacking. And his behavior and way of communicating is inappropriate and rude. Good luck with this business and losing loyal customers!

Delicious food and fast service :) I recommend the spagetti Bolognese with vegetables.

New owners in a beautiful location. Delicious food served with a smile.

Amazing food, I really recommend it. Heaven in your mouth ❤️

Very tasty food, not expensive, right in the center of Rotterdam, beautiful view, friendly service

Very nice place, food was good and service was nice too! We had some pasta and pizza, both were great!

Delicious food...the pasta is highly recommended......

Food good, lots of choice and reasonable prices. Staff relatively stiff.

I would like to compliment the friendly employees in the restaurant, they came to have a chat and paid a lot of attention to our orders. A new young entrepreneur who has recently taken over the business. The food was ready within 10/15 minutes and it tasted great. Hereby, La borsa is highly recommended.

Have been coming to La Borsa regularly for years. The food is excellent and the service very friendly. I am very satisfied!

I went there reading a review from an "Italian" who mentioned this place to be authentiek. The food is totally inauthentic Italian. Unless you want snackbar quality. Service was very nice however

Delicious Italian food, including pizzas and pastas, but also other dishes. Very lively place apparently run by Italians. If you visit as a single person at a busy time, they may let larger groups go first until a small table opens up.

Als je slechte service geen probleem vindt en liever niet klaagt als je niet serieus wordt genomen, dan is La Borsa ‘the place to be’. Toen we vroegen om een nieuwe cola met prik, werd deze demonstratief voor onze neus overgegoten – met als gevolg een tafel onder de cola. Toen we hier iets van zeiden, liep de medewerker kwaad weg. Als dit de manier is waarop de eigenaar zijn gasten bedient, is het misschien tijd om ermee te stoppen.

"Beautiful location, but the owner has no idea how to deal with guests. Criticism of the food is not accepted at all, and the response is downright unprofessional. If hospitality no longer works, it may be time to transfer the business to someone who does understand."

Good place for in between. Everything okay

If you don't mind poor service and would rather not complain if you are not taken seriously, then La Borsa is 'the place to be'. When we asked for a new coke with a spark, it was demonstratively poured in front of us - resulting in a table covered in coke. When we said something about this, the owner walked away angrily. If this is the way the owner serves his guests, maybe it's time to stop it.

Wijn stond voor €27,50 op de kaart, maar de eigenaar rekende €40. Hij toverde een kaart tevoorschijn waar dat idd opstond, maar toen wij een andere kaart lieten zien met de lagere prijs , zei hij dat wij moeten begrijpen dat die wijn niet voor minder verkocht kon worden. Bij 2 flessen tikt dat best aan. Rinduit onbeschoft. Lekker gegeten maar erg trage bediening, tafels dicht op elkaar, koude plaatsen aan het raam. Al met al geen aanrader. Niet bezoeken.

Very unfriendly because you come to eat with children. Do you want to get the matter out of the way as quickly as possible?

Simple pastas and then ask for the top prize. Very bad service from the owner himself

1 star is already too much for the arrogant service here…

As an Italian I do not really go to Italian restaurants abroad. However I already been here 3 times and everything was absolutely perfect! The service is warm, fast and friendly. The food is exquisite! There are many options for omnivores and vegetarian. They have the best bruschette ever, and their vegetarian lasagna is over the top! Recommend this place truly!

Servicio amable y atento, pero lo más destacado fue la comida - la carbonara de espagueti fue la mejor que he probado - memorable.

Best pasta carbonara I've ever had!

Made a reservation some time ago for 6 people at 3:00 PM. We called to say we would be a little late, that was no problem. When we got there, the owner spoke very rudely to us and there was no table ready. I came here often, but never and never again. Treating guests this way because your business is full is not okay. Not even worth 1 star.

2 months ago Reserved for today for 6 people. We called at 2:55 PM to say that we would be a little late and that was no problem. When we arrive there is no table for 6 people. An older man who works there is very rude and comes up with different numbers which are not correct and rudely indicates that there is no room. We left very angry. That is not how you treat customers. You are not even worth 1 star to us.

We already made a reservation by telephone 2 months ago for today for 6 people at 3 p.m We called at 2:55 PM to say that we would be 10 minutes later and that was no problem. When we arrived there was no table available for 6 people. The older man (owner) who works there was very rude and indicated that there was no table available for us. He didn't even want to hear our story and already directed us to the exit. We left very angry, that's not how you treat customers. Not even worth 1 star for us.

It's better not to make a reservation because it doesn't apply anyway! Very rude staff, they treat customers disrespectfully! Not even worth 1 star!

As befits a real Italian, no atmosphere at all, service is mwahmwah, but you really come there for the food! My quilting pleasure every time

Polite staff, delicious traditional Italian dishes, pleasant music, the best choice for a leisurely dinner or lunch

Nice restaurant in the center of Rotterdam. Atmosphere was mediocre (lots of tables crammed into one room) but the food was good and the staff very helpful.

Het eten is goed, de prijzen wel erg hoog en de bediening is ronduit slecht. Dat alleen al maakt dat wij er nooit meer zullen eten.

Food was delicious. We did not find the service friendly. Couldn't have a chat or a laugh.

Very unfriendly reception by owner.

Not recommended! Uninterested service. Drunken owner.Food of mediocre quality, bad coffee.

Too sad for words. We called in advance to see if there was room, we could come by and wait, they said. Had a very nice lady on the phone. After entering with a stroller (which the gentleman is allergic to) we were stopped. I didn't start the conversation and just walked away. All I heard was no no no and ciaoo. Mr. owner was so aggressive and laughed at me that I called and came over. No idea how else to make a reservation in a restaurant. I feel sorry for the people who have to work with you, sir.

Rude man, sending your customers away without saying hello? We had only been inside for less than a minute to ask if we could wait here until a table became available. Because we had asked this nicely on the telephone and we were kindly told by a lady that this was possible. And you walked up saying no no no without even saying hello. We had a stroller with us, but if you don't want that in your business, please say so in a normal way. Oh yes, also laughing at us because we called?? We were still trying to get the stroller out again in the door frame, but you already wanted to close the door. Shame

We had two very good pizzas at acceptable prices. We were served very attentively and quickly. The location 'in the glass house' is very nice, there is a lot to see at the window. P.S. Our dog was welcome and received a bowl of water

The tiramisu is spectacular and the pasta is very well made.

Sending my wife away because she wanted to go in with her niece with a stroller. or is it because she wore a headscarf? I have been coming to you for 15 years! Now never again and never going to come back. Now I understand that you don't turn as well as you used to. with your no no no no against 2 women. You throw away 15 years of customer. ciao!

Exceptionally delicious bruschetta and delicious pasta dish. Also delicious house wine (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo). Good quality at a good price.

Hospitality -100 Kindness -1000 Child friendly -10000 The gentleman summarily and brutally rejected us from coming in because we were with a stroller! NONONO, shouting at the front door, if there is no space (unwanted) for a stroller, this can also be raised in a normal way. Then we look for another place to eat, this is not the only Italian where you can eat pasta/pizza. Bahbah

Carbonara contains milk and cream. Not a real Italian.

Oops, too bad, the portions have become very small! And it's a shame that there is preferential treatment towards customers. Some tables received a sandwich in advance and others did not...

Excellent pizza and service, not a star restaurant but price/quality unbeatable!

We went to eat at noon. We had the opportunity to eat on the terrace and it was luxurious. They were quick with the drink and food. The dishes are generous. In terms of food, we ordered a calzone and it had foods not indicated on the menu (ask before ordering it!). Despite this, everything was very good.

The restaurant is very well located near the city center. The personnel were very kind, and they all spoke English as well. We ordered Americano pizza, which had a bunch of fries on top, and of course, you can add ketchup and mayonnaise to it, exceptionally;)

Italian-style pasta carbonara was a bit on the dry side this time because too few eggs were used.

Tasty tomato soup and Ravioli. First time at this Italian restaurant and worth repeating. Reservations are not possible at this restaurant. Plenty of seating outside and inside.

Super tasty food! Nice place to sit, nice view. Get busy quickly, then they will pay a little less attention to you, but otherwise this is definitely recommended!!! Delicious sandwich and delicious pizza!

Good Italian Restaurant great food for the price and fríendly italian service. The kitchen closes at 21hs.

The owner has no patience and bad manners.

Very tasty food, nice staff, nice Italian-style restaurant with Italian music. I can only recommend!

The server came pretty fast and the food also. Although there is a middle aged man with grey hair who is being really rude to me and other customers.

Went today at 4:45 pm. Wasn't busy, but afterwards it became busier, you can sit inside and outside, we sat outside in nice weather. Close to metro station stock exchange in Rotterdam. I had funghi pizza and my sister had vegetarian lasagna. Pizza was tasty, dough was thin, and enough mushrooms etc on it. My sister also really liked her food and everything was served hot. We waited 12 minutes for the food, which is a perfect time! Service was decent, looked clean. 1 pizza funghi 1 lasagna vegetarian 2 spa blue 1 tonic lemon Paid a total of 40 euros for it. Unfortunately, on the expensive side.

We gingen hier na lange tijd weer eens heen om de traditionele Fettuccini de la Mamma te eten. Deze was nog steeds lekker maar daar is ook alles mee gezegd. € 6,00 voor een (half) glas wijn en weinig privacy vanwege vooral binnen de tafels vlak naast elkaar. Eigenaar Luciano was vroeger een gezellige vent maar nu maakt hij een overspannen indruk door tegen gasten te schreeuwen als hem iets niet bevalt.

We eat at La Borsa about once every 4 weeks, no, it is not a fancy restaurant, but it is a no-nonsense restaurant where you can eat very tastefully, we have eaten various dishes and this is just good! Employees are friendly. The price/quality ratio is very good. La Borsa is easily accessible by metro, trade fair/line railway exit. Highly recommended for a tasty meal at an affordable price on the Coolsingel

Hospitality is sought in vain here. As a paying guest you want to use the toilet and you are denied it. And I always thought the Italians were some of the most hospitable. Probably thought wrong. We then went somewhere else with 6 people, where you are also welcome.

The bruschetta was soaked in oil, we asked for the bill and the owner said I ate too much of mine and only took one of the two off the bill.

Cozy restaurant, Italian flair, nice service. Spaghetti frutti di mare, was a large portion and very good €16.50. I felt good and ate well. I can recommend it

Original Sicily food in Rotterdam

Essen wie bei mama mia. Very good, fantastic.

Nunca me sentí tan desagradable en un restaurante en toda mi vida. La comida era decente, pero la gente estaba demasiado apurada para cerrar a pesar de que llegamos hora antes del cierre

The owner was very rude. Spoke Italian thinking that I do not understand the language, said rude things. When I tried to go to the bathroom, said that I cannot go with my bag and told me to leave it on the table. After I came back to my table, still was rude taking our order, hence, we decided to leave. He then wanted to charge me for using the bathroom and he wanted me to pay cash when I tried to pay by card. Cannot say anything about food but if you want to have a good service and spend nice time with friends and family having a casual meal, I would not recommend it. 0 star service.

Owner Luciano Benfatto is almost always present and his hospitality is of course good. A fine business and a real Italian restaurant for years. We were with a group, but no problem, we felt wanted and the food and wine were fantastic again. Fantastic view of the city, pleasantly busy. Until next time.
