Villa Borghese Amsterdam in Sloter-/Riekerpolder

Lovely flavors and the Dutch waiter is super polite, friendly and attentive! ☺️

Italian restaurant. My wife and I both had the Capricciosa pizza, and my son had the spaghetti with clams. The dishes were good, the pizzas very tasty. The restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had a delicious Italian meal here. The service was excellent. We had pizzas and pasta, and they tasted superb. Since we came by tram, parking was not a problem, but otherwise, it is inconvenient that the restaurant does not have its own parking spaces.

Friendly staff, good food, welcoming atmosphere

As far as I'm concerned, the best pizzeria in Amsterdam. The prices are a bit higher, though, and if you come by car, you have to park in the residential area next door (because there is hardly any space there). That crispy crust... delicious!

Excellent pizza/lasagna/pasta (real Italian cooking) and very friendly staff 😊🙏

A perfect restaurant, the food is wonderful, the waiters are very attentive, excellent, come here!

Fast and friendly service, even though it wasn't super quiet. Tasty pizzas, large. We will definitely come back next time.

We only had a tiramisu to go and it was just okay and not a big portion or anything, but 9.5€ for the most mid tiramisu ever is insane work, even more central restaurants have better prices than that… sad 💔

Really good ambience and the background music makes the vibe even better. The waiters are very polite and nice. The food tastes very freshly made

Honestly I think everything about this place is overrated. My lasagna was burnt. The pizza was okay (decent crust but major flop), and the pasta was very middle of the road. The restaurant is nice though and service was pretty good, but I don't think I would go again.

Delicious food, especially the homemade pasta!!! Service was good and we got a table quickly. The food arrived quickly, was hot, and as I said, delicious :) We were there on a Saturday evening during the off-season. Authentic Italian cuisine 🇮🇹

Simply perfect after a day of meetings! Friendly service, real Italian food, nice atmosphere… thank you! 🫶

We had a great meal in this lovely restaurant for our last evening in Europe. Tasty food and exceptional service.

A truly delicious Italian restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended, otherwise the wait can be quite long. The ambiance feels very authentic, and together with the music, you're transported to Italy. The staff was quick and attentive, and the food was truly delicious. With one caveat: the ice cream I had for dessert tasted more like something from a supermarket's plastic tub. Especially considering the not-so-cheap price, I would have expected a different level of quality.

Had a delicious traditional Italian meal.

Had an incredibly delicious meal, fresh ingredients and very well prepared.

Good quality Italian restaurant, right in front of the hotel where I stayed, very convenient if you don't want to go downtown. We tried a pizza and a carbonara, both good. Pleasant atmosphere.

We had a delicious meal and were allowed to bring a dog.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Villa Borghese in Amsterdam, conveniently located near the hotel where I was staying. As a big fan of Italian cuisine and coffee, I truly appreciated the authentic atmosphere—especially since the staff are Italian, which really brings a genuine taste and spirit of Italy right into the heart of Amsterdam. The pizza was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Since I don’t eat pork, the staff kindly removed the ham from my pizza, which I appreciated. However, it would be great if they could offer a chicken ham alternative, as not everyone consumes pork. The pumpkin soup was absolutely delicious—rich, warm, and full of flavor. To top it all off, the Trucillo espresso at the end was the perfect finishing touch. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys authentic Italian food and a welcoming atmosphere!

I recommend this! Right next to the Artemis hotel. Nice Italian restaurant. Very friendly and attentive service. Enough staff. Old Italian classics playing in the background. A table was arranged without a reservation for 3 hungry people in the evening. The ravioli dish was wonderful! Open until 10:30 PM, when the hotel restaurant was already closed.

I’m writing this before even finishing the full meal, which already says a lot about how strongly the experience has stood out so far. What impacted the visit the most was the overall atmosphere created by the person managing the floor. It wasn’t about a specific comment or incident, but his general demeanor. The energy came across as tense, unwelcoming, and disengaged, which made it difficult to feel comfortable throughout the meal. On the food side, the pepe verde was a good steak. Well-prepared and enjoyable. The ribeye, however, lacked proper seasoning, which made it fall short compared to expectations. The vegetables served alongside it also felt like they came from a frozen mix, which didn’t match the presentation of the dish. Dining out is not just about the food, but how the experience is delivered. In this case, the overall tone made it hard to fully enjoy the visit. At this point, it’s not somewhere I see myself returning to.

I highly recommend this place! 🍕 The pizza I tried was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is pleasant and cozy. 😊 It's a really good idea to reserve a table in advance, as it can get busy! ✨

Wouldn’t go back here. The service was average and we asked for the dessert menu and waited ages. Suffice to say we didn’t have dessert. They are understaffed. Disappointment to say the least and this is our first time in Amsterdam

Really good food and friendly servers. If I had to suggest one area for improvement, I'd say it feels a bit cramped when it's completely full.

Excellent ! Just beside Artemis Hotel. As Italian food fans we were absolutely delighted! Best quality for the price ever found. Warm atmosphere, frienfly and efficient service. The boss and the chef judt rock ! Merci beaucoup ! Therese & Ombeni from Belgium

Server was rude and we had to wait a while to even be acknowledged. Food was good though.

Italian restaurant. Italian cuisine. Italian owners. Welcoming and clean place. Wide variety on the menu. Very friendly and professional staff. Wide variety of desserts, all beautifully made in full view. I tried the tiramisu and I must say I was surprised by its deliciousness. A pleasant evening. Short wait times. As a foodie with a heartfelt Apulian roots, I give it five stars.

The food was absolutely delicious — the sauce for the pasta is homemade and so fresh. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole evening even better. We felt truly taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Amazing service and great value for money! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the prices were more than fair. We really enjoyed our visit and can highly recommend this restaurant.

Everything was great, we'd love to come back again ♥️!!!

Kindest staff and best italian in town

The vitello tonnato and the carpaccio was really good. The prices are very guest friendly. Definitely a good spot if you’re around.

The pizza needs revisiting. Too much oil. I honestly didn't eat anything else, but the Dutch people dining there seemed happy with their Italian pasta/pizza.

Everything was perfect ! The meal, the ambience and a particular recognition for the staff. Can’t wait to be back to Amsterdam for another diner.

Perfect dishes, well-prepared. A bit of a wait, but the quality of the food makes up for it. The pizza dough is divine... The pasta with Parmesan cheese served in a wheel... Very welcoming

Last month we had a mini vacation in Amsterdam and had dinner at Villa Borghese. The pizza was delicious, I've never had anything like it in Italy!! And the tiramisu was perfectooo!!!

The food was great both times I was there this week. The service was too slow for me, but I also realize that I'm saying this as an American in Europe.

Great food, friendly service and tasty limochello for dessert!

Delicious spaghetti with truffles served with flambéed cheese rib.

My wife and I had a nice evening at the Vill Borghese and the food and wine made us feel good on a rainy windy evening. The only problem was the bill was 18 euro too much and we didn't notice until we got back to our hotel. So be cautious and check your bill for mistakes!

Quite a good culinary experience. Very good Italian cuisine.

Everything was mediocre. The menu listed chicken with potatoes and vegetables. In reality, the potatoes and vegetables were very minimal, see photo. The chicken was okay, but nothing special.

We went, as a hotel recommendation, with no reservation and was the right choice. Quiet enviroment, nice service and very good food.

Amazing pizzas with the right size, thickness and super crust.

Nice food, very friendly people

Excellent place to dine. Delicious, reasonably priced food and attentive staff. Would recommend

Pizza's where super salty and oily. And waited more than 60 minutes between appetizer and main course.

Good pizza delivered within 20 minutes

A wonderful discovery! We stayed at the hotel for four days, right across the street from the restaurant. We hadn't booked, but the friendly waiter made us wait about ten minutes. Lasagna for me, and my husband chose the carbonara! A killer 👌 A tiramisu for both of us for dessert... a pure delight! The owner offered us two limoncellos "from home," a little marvel! It's a real pleasure to spend such a wonderful time at the restaurant and to eat with such pleasure. ♥️Thank you very much for this moment♥️

A fantastic Italian restaurant in Amsterdam! Villa Borghese impresses with outstanding quality and very good value for money. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed, and the servers were consistently friendly and attentive, which further enhanced the experience. We particularly recommend the tagliatelle with salmon – an exceptional taste experience that truly delighted us. Fresh, aromatic, and perfectly prepared! All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We highly recommend Villa Borghese to everyone. 5 stars it deserves! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Without a doubt, the most delicious pizza we've had anywhere near here. It feels like you're in Italy. Delicious crust, a good base, and authentic, super-fresh ingredients. The Pizza Borghese is incredibly refined. The Capricciosa is wonderfully spicy. A real addition to the neighborhood. Next time we'll have dessert; we were absolutely stuffed.

Good service, good mood, delicious food and good prices 👍🏻🤩 user-friendly menu in relation to eating habits, which contains dishes both with and without meat😋

Really delicious! Authentic with the chef singing in the kitchen and smiling, nice waiter who gave smiles and really good service. 5/5🤗

Shitty service, mid pizzas. Two pizzas arrived after an hour (ordered on a Tuesday evening) Ordered two extras on my pizza which were completely missing. Chef told me he couldn't do anything for me except give me a discount on my next order that I'll probably never receive. Pizzas were not worth the wait.

The servers were not polite nor attentive at all. The food was ok, but would not come back for it.

What a wonderful restaurant! Delicious food, authentic Italian, which I can definitely taste after years of eating in Italy. Highly recommended!

The food is great, but ordering is a nightmare. I ordered pizza tonight and received an email saying it would be delivered around 8:00 PM. I called at 8:15 PM and got a hurried, rude young man on the phone, telling me it was very busy and I had to wait. It was almost 8:30 PM now. I'm not being a nuisance, but this is unacceptable.

I recommend the very tasty pizza 😋

It is a nice cozy Italian restaurant for the residents. Nothing special.

I had a wonderful italian meal here with some friends. The food was certainly excellent. I had the Calzone which was a pleasant experience. One little issue we had was with some of the staff. They were sometimes a bit slow on serving us. While tables that arrived a lot later than us were already given the complimentary bread to go with the oil, we were still waiting on ours. One my friends accidentally spilled a drink as well, however it took some time for the staff to notice us while we were asking for additional help and/or cloths to clean up the spill. Despite that, the staff was friendly.

Restaurant at the foot of an office tower. Ambience is not special and the service even less so. We sat on the terrace and both the starter and the main course were reasonable. I had high expectations because of the good stories, but not completely fulfilled.

What a cozy Italian restaurant. I haven't been out for such a nice meal in a long time. There is a nice atmosphere and the food is delicious. We will definitely eat there again soon.

We ate there three times and were very impressed each time. The pizzas, pastas, and much more were excellent. Highly recommended.

I went first day and it was good, then decided to go 2nd day which even better (pretty sure it’s from different chef)

Very good address. We went for lunch. The truffle ravioli was excellent with real truffle sauce. The prices are rather attractive for the quality. I recommend.

Typical Italian restaurant. Dish are very good.

Very cozy restaurant...top service, delicious food!!

Bizarrely arrogant people. Order a pasta for pickup from them, call them at 5:21 PM. I arrive at their place at 5:46 PM and they immediately say it's not ready yet, you said half an hour. Fine, I'll wait a while, but according to their receipt it was only ordered at 5:31 PM. Then, arrogantly saying no, it won't be ready for another 16 minutes. While at first I didn't even have a problem with her pasta not being ready. But the arrogant tone and particularly unfriendly attitude of the staff made me decide that they don't even have to make the pasta for me anymore and I left. The food is always good, but his attitude is ridiculous.

I had reserved the table via the website offered. We ate pizzas which were excellent with a nice airy crust. Friendly and fast service, nothing to complain about!

During my recent visit to this establishment I experienced exceptional Italian cuisine. Both the starter and main course were presented with the utmost finesse, with the quality and freshness of the ingredients used being unmistakable. The vitello tonnato, a culinary highlight, was undoubtedly among the best I have ever tasted. The service was extremely professional and attentive, contributing to an overall experience of excellence. Given these exceptional aspects, I highly recommend this restaurant to every lover of authentic Italian gastronomy.

Excellent cuisine, lovingly prepared dishes, I have never eaten such good tiramisu before

We ate fungi pizza and four cheese pizza. We felt great during the dinner. The waiter was very kind and he was cheerful. The atmosphere was also nice and the balsamic vinegar was so delicious. Grazie mille :)

Best Italian style pizza I ever had. Service was fine.

This restaurant is under rated! Food is delicious, service is great and atmosphere is very nice and relaxed! They do everything well…pizza, pasta, meat and the tiramisù is exceptional!

Great pizza, really really well done! The staff is really friendly, even with my small daughter who joined me for dinner.

Variable quality of pizzas. 1st 2 times ordered pizzas: absolutely delicious (not wood-fired). Few pizzas without meat. Ask to replace meat with another ingredient, which went well the first few times... until I ordered pizzas for 9.99 on a Thursday. I asked to replace the meat with another vegetarian ingredient. I was told that I should "just order from the menu" (then add more options to the menu without pork). Apparently too difficult to replace 1 ingredient due to the crowds. The vegetarian pizzas were delivered almost without cheese, the tomatoes were just raw and very thick edges without anything on them. Not worth the reduced price: tasteless (and had to wait an extra 45 minutes!!!). I thought I had found my favorite pizzeria in Nieuw West, but it turns out not to be that good. Shame. So avoid Thursdays anyway. I'm going to try it one more time another day (with just 1 pizza, otherwise such a shame) Update: ordered pizzas again. Pizzas were lukewarm when picked up and on the spinach pizza... frozen spinach had been used, which had just been thawed, which they also denied. Very dirty. Last time pizza here.

A really nice restaurant, good service, affordable and really good food! Price - quality 10

Please avoid this place if you are foreigner, they are only interested with the locals. Very arrogant Management, if the restaurant is busy I guess they don’t care about other customers even there are free tables. Food quality very salty!! may be do it on purpose. Ra ist may be a strong word but from what I have read from other reviews and my experience, foreigners are not welcome. This is my honest opinion.

Pizza and pasta was very good. The pasta carbonara I believe was original, made with eggs and not some sort of sauce. The waiter was a bit rude but the food made it a bit irrelevant

we enjoyed everything! Nice food and friendly staff!

Tasty pizzas and friendly service

Best Sgroppino in Amsterdam!! Lovely people and the chefs make what you want outside the menu ❤️ friendly service and top service! Food is delicious and fresh.... You will see us often again in 2025.

Top, great service and super good food!

Right from the start we felt like unwelcome guests. The service was unfriendly. The food is average. I can't recommend to anyone. 

Veeeery good food! Pasta with Tartufo was delicious and the Tiramissu was a proper one. Employees are extremely friendly. Food came quickly. Price pretty reasonable for NL. On the top, some of the employees speak Brazilian Portuguese and were playing Brazilian music on the background, which was fun to me :) . Definitely good alternative in this neighborhood, will certainly come back when around.

Authentic feel. Real Italian staff makes you feel welcome, and at home.

A delightful evening One challenge related to what a baked potato is But chips worked . Great meal.

Delicious pizza, ordered on their site and received in a very short time. Well done!!!

Good food and very good service, a highly recommended place

The very Italian taste and experience

Just 4 stars as they know it was for a birthday and there was nothing...little attention count too. Otherwise the service is friendly, the food amazing and all in a cosy atmosphere. Great Italian restaurant.

Awesome. Love the italian Flair and original italian Pizza

Beautiful bread basket from the company. Good wine list. Friendly people, it was fun until late.

Nice and cosy italian place, ordered pizza proscuitto y funghi, was very delicious As dessert i took the panna cotta, was very good.

We put fantastic food on the table for 50 people in two hours after something went wrong with another company. Super nice, super tasty. Great.

Superb locations and impeccable service. Refined cuisine, the sgroppino a limon was extraordinary 💗

We waited around an hour after we ordered, an the restaurant wasnt even half full. And when we finally got our half cooked pasta, it was mediocre👎🏻

Good and beautiful restaurant. Price okay. Friendly staff. We got a very tasty limochello from the company! Only the environment is not that pleasant. That's a shame, but otherwise it was great.

Super nice Italian restaurant with delicious food, nice atmosphere and good service. With a beautiful terrace🙂
