Vino&Friends in Wijk 00 Centrum

Delicious dishes and a good atmosphere!

We were very satisfied with the food, service, and atmosphere at Vino & Friends. We'd gladly come back anytime!

We reserved a table at Vino & Friends for our 5th wedding anniversary. The restaurant was named the best Italian restaurant in the Netherlands by Italy magazine. And for good reason!! We had a fantastic evening. We enjoyed the 4-course concept: 4 delicious starters to share. Then the primo: risotto with truffle and ravioli with lobster. For the secondo, we both chose the sea bass. And finally, il dolce: naturally, the tiramisu and a specialty of the house. Something with ice cream and prosecco foam. Everything was equally delicious! The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere amazing. We were even able to practice our Italian a bit with Alexandro serving us. Nothing but compliments, and if we are ever in Maastricht again, we will definitely come back to eat at your place.

Beautiful restaurant. Good service. Good food. Top wines. Unfortunately, no wine list by the glass. The staff are very knowledgeable, but also steer you somewhat towards a specific choice. Why are the cappuccino and espresso lukewarm? Homemade limoncello. Worst limoncello I've ever had. Watery and bland. In a very small quantity. Looks like a lot, but a small glass with a very thick bottom. Shame about the coffee and limoncello. That could really be better.

Last Saturday, I dined at Vino & Friends in Maastricht. I walked in during the afternoon and fortunately, there was still room. We were given a high table in a sort of private room, where we enjoyed a four-course menu with paired wines. The evening started strong with a composite antipasti of carne crudo, crostini bruschetta, Italian-style tuna tataki, stracciatella with spicy citrus oil, and artichoke with caponata, accompanied by a glass of Pinot Grigio. Everything was beautifully balanced and perfectly matched to the wine. For the intermediate course, I chose the lobster ravioli. A delicious dish; the filling could perhaps have been just a little more flavorful, but the airy bisque foam lifted the whole thing beautifully. The main course consisted of a perfectly cooked steak of high quality, paired with a fruity, jammy Primitivo that complemented the dish perfectly. The sweetness of the sweet potato mousseline, together with green asparagus, brought the plate into beautiful harmony. For dessert, we were served homemade stracciatella ice cream, paired with a Bavarian cream tartlet with a quinoa and chocolate base and a glass of sparkling Moscato — a fresh and elegant conclusion to the evening. A very successful evening where the refined flavors, strong food and wine pairings, and the hospitality of the hosts and sommeliers combined to create a particularly lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth repeating; see you soon, Team Vino! Last Saturday we had dinner at Vino & Friends in Maastricht, and what started as a spontaneous walk-in turned into one of those evenings you genuinely don’t want to end. Luckily, they still had a spot available — a high table tucked away in a semi-private corner — the perfect setting for a four-course menu with wine pairings. The night kicked off with a beautifully curated antipasti selection featuring carne crudo, crostini bruschetta, Italian-style tuna tataki, stracciatella with a fragrant citrus herb oil, and artichoke with caponata, all paired with a crisp Pinot Grigio. Every bite felt balanced, refined, and perfectly matched with the wine. For the second course, I went with the lobster ravioli. Rich, elegant, and comforting. The filling could have carried just a touch more seasoning, but the airy bisque foam elevated the dish beautifully and tied everything together. The main course featured a perfectly cooked steak of excellent quality, paired with a fruity, jammy Primitivo that complemented the dish effortlessly. The sweetness of the sweet potato muslin alongside green asparagus brought harmony and depth to the plate. Dessert was a house-made stracciatella ice cream served with a bavarois cake layered on a quinoa and chocolate base, accompanied by a sparkling Moscato — fresh, light, and a stylish finish to the evening. An incredibly enjoyable night where refined flavors, strong wine pairings, and the warm hospitality of the hosts and sommeliers came together to create a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. Definitely a place worth returning to.

It was a wonderful Italian dining experience. The service, wine, and atmosphere were all excellent. Our favorites among the starters were the steak tartare and the artichoke. The artichoke ravioli we had as a warm appetizer was incredible, the crispy artichokes and hazelnut touch elevated the flavors beautifully. For the main course, the tomahawk was even better than we expected, with its flavor, sauce, and side dishes all being outstanding. A slightly stronger barbecue flavor could have taken the already delicious meat to another level. We paired it with a Primitivo di Manduria wine, which complemented the meal perfectly. The star of the evening was definitely the lemon dessert, served with an amazing syrup-soaked cookie that left a wonderfully refreshing taste in the mouth. It was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we’ve had in Maastricht.

What a fantastic dinner I had there

Definitely recommended in the city center!

great place, delicious food, very good wine, friendly atmosphere

A wonderful experience! We came here after TEFAF. The staff were super nice and helpful, and they guided us through all the choices. The appetizer selection was very nice, the meat was good, and the lemon dessert with gelato was amazing! Oh, the Italian wines were very good, and the guy was super knowledgeable in helping us choose. ♥️

A truly wonderful experience with delicious food and great wine. From the welcome to the courses, everything was really lovely. Portions are good and they even make their own ice cream which is a treat. Strongly recommend their wine guidance. Note some wines are a bit overpriced in my opinion. We went there on a double date and our friends loved it as well.

The food was fantastic, from the ravioli to the Angus steak. Perfect combinations from the menu. And great advice from Alex.

Unfortunately, we had to wait two hours for our starter. When we asked about it, it suddenly arrived very quickly (and, according to the waiter, "just in time" without any apologies). After our comment, we noticed the staff's friendliness deteriorated. The bottle of wine was definitely not good value for money, but far too expensive! The food was good, but the aforementioned issues overshadowed the evening, which was a real shame!

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, nice service

What a fantastic restaurant! At Vino and Friends, everything is absolutely perfect. Fantastic, high-quality food, with great attention to flavor and presentation. The experience is complete and feels luxurious yet relaxed. The wine list is unparalleled (actually more of a wine book than a menu) with a huge and impressive selection. The service deserves special mention. The Italian waiters create a warm, enthusiastic, and professional atmosphere. Just the way you want it. This is how dining out should be. If we could, we would eat here every day. Highly recommended.

Great service. Delicious food and a perfect wine list!

Wonderful experience. Authentic Italian food in Maastricht.

We had another fantastic Christmas meal with an all-inclusive menu. Delicious dishes with matching wines and very pleasant and friendly service. The staff are passionate about their work and always have time for a chat. The restaurant is spacious and has a cozy atmosphere.

An original Italian restaurant. Exceptional dishes. Excellent cuisine.

We had dinner with family and opted for the 4-course menu. Every dish was exquisite! We also ordered a delicious bottle of wine! Andrea, the waiter, was very friendly and took the time to explain everything thoroughly!

Food quality was by no means what we expected.

Had a great dinner with colleagues. The food was delicious and sometimes pleasantly surprising. The service was good, but the only caveat and area for improvement was the somewhat pushy wine-selling approach. This didn't detract from the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. The expertise displayed regarding the wines and the food was a positive development.

A very nice restaurant with fantastic service (Alex). We found the food mediocre. The price-quality ratio is not right. The service is excellent.

We had four courses with a glass of wine with each. A total of €215, which isn't good value for money. The food was mediocre, lukewarm, and the Prosecco and dessert wine were also very mediocre.

Awesome guest service and good food.

We had a fantastic evening. Besides good wines, we also enjoyed delicious food in a fantastic atmosphere. Maastricht meets Italy.

Nice Italian restaurant. The price-quality ratio is lacking. The 1.3 kg T-bone steak to share is excellent. The hosts tell us they'll be your "friend" for the entire evening, which we understood after paying.

Absolute horrible service. We were sent away because I guess we looked too touristy for them with our backpacks. Waiters didn't speak Dutch and bad English. They took one look at us and said we cannot seat you two.

Once again, congratulations to these guys who love their work so passionately. Alex, at only 23, gave us a wonderful evening, joking but always with great professionalism. Hoping this concept doesn't change much, because Vino & Friends must continue as it is. 10 out of 10! Thank youuuuuu See you soon

This restaurant is top-notch, and our host, Alex, really made it a party. He's a great wine expert and really takes his time with you. The food is also excellent; we had the 5-course menu (chef's choice) and it was incredibly delicious.

From the moment you walk in you feel the Italian generiosity. The staff speaks Italian amongst each other, joking and bantering, adding to the atmosphere. We chose the 5 course "surprise" edition, after ticking off some dietary/allergen questions (none in our case). Portion size was good for each serving and packed with flavour. Overall the food is of high quality and cooked wel. The recommended winepairing (from the affordable subset of the extensive winelist) matched perfectly with the flavours on the plate and our own preference. We spend our entire evening there, with a decent (slow) pacing of courses. You need to make a downpayment upon making a reservation; about 15€/pp; which is settled with the bill.

We had expected much more. The food was excellent in several dishes. Others were not so special. The small portions were striking and annoying.

Went to Vino & Friends for the second time. The location, the staff, and the food are fantastic! You have to go there.

Het was weer een fijne avond bij Vino&Friends! In het weekend kun je hier alleen terecht voor een diner van 4 of 5 gangen, maar dat is bepaald geen straf. Vooraf verschillende antipasti, allemaal heerlijk (oa met kleine burratas). Dan een verrukkelijk tussengerecht: ravioli gevuld met scampi in een smakelijke bisque (geconcentreerde bouillon van garnalen). Als hoofd een doradefilet met tomatensaus, gebakken spinazie en courgettecrème. Als afsluiting een grand dessert met huisgemaakt ijs. We dronken er een lekkere Arneis uit de Piemonte bij (de wijnen zijn ook te koop in het winkeltje! ). Erg vriendelijke bediening, de sfeer is top. Tip: als je niet in de drukte wil zitten, vraag dan een plekje aan 1 van de bartafels. Wij begrijpen dat de zaak is verkocht en onder dezelfde naam doorgaat. Hopelijk blijft alles bij het oude, dan komen wij zeker terug!

A real must for Italian restaurant lovers! The seating is beautiful and comfortable, your every need is met, and the food is absolutely delicious! The prices are a bit higher than your average Italian restaurant, but it's definitely worth it.

I went here for dinner with my girlfriend for her birthday. We chose the 4-course menu. It was delicious, and the host (Alex) served us very well. Alex occasionally cracked a joke and chatted with the guests, which definitely added to the evening. He has extensive wine knowledge, and he's a great wine recommender and listened to our tastes. They even asked about allergens early in the evening, and they were very accommodating. The only negative I could mention is that I found it quite loud inside. We will definitely be back!

Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Chaque plat est un véritable travail : des saveurs subtiles, des cuissons parfaites et des produits d’une grande finesse. On sent tout de suite le respect de la tradition italienne, sublimé par une belle touche de modernité. Le service est tout simplement impeccable : attentionné, professionnel, sans jamais être envahissant. Une équipe passionnée qui connaît ses produits et sait conseiller avec justesse. Un lieu chaleureux, élégant, où l’on se sent immédiatement bien. Si vous cherchez une cuisine italienne raffinée et authentique, foncez les yeux fermés !

Never again: We decided to spend an evening at Vino&Friends in Maastricht, drawn by their reputation as one of the city's best Italian restaurants. Unfortunately, that expectation wasn't met. The evening felt chaotic from beginning to end. The various dishes we were served (four courses in total) never quite came together. Each plate seemed disconnected from the rest, lacking a clear line or flavor balance, while you expect refinement and harmony from a restaurant with higher ambitions. The starter was disappointing: small bites that didn't make much of an impression. My main course, a risotto, was simply hard, which is absolutely unbecoming of this classic Italian dish. The dessert was also nothing special (fine, but bland and not memorable). We chose one bottle of wine, the quality of which was acceptable for one of us, but certainly not a highlight of the evening. For a restaurant that presents itself with hundreds of carefully selected Italian wines, I would have expected more advice and experience. The service was friendly, but chaotic. Everything felt disorganized, as if control had been lost. And then the bill: €180 for two people. For what we got, that was simply unreasonable. It's better to spend €70 more and eat at something like Novo New Dining in Maastricht; it's the best I've ever eaten. All in all, V&F wasn't an experience we would recommend, and it's clear to us: we won't be returning.

Cozy, good atmosphere and delicious food and drinks, perfect service in one word, perfetto 👍

Delicious food and drinks! Alex is such a great host! Funny and knowledgeable. Definitely worth it, we'd love to come back! Oh yeah, the wine cellar tour was also interesting and fun!

We recently visited a solid Italian restaurant in Maastricht and overall had a pleasant experience. The food was good – nothing groundbreaking, but definitely delicious and well-prepared. Each course offered a nice variation, from antipasti to dessert, which kept the meal interesting. However, the portion sizes were a bit on the small side. That said, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and recognized details without needing to be asked, which added a lot to the dining experience. Their professionalism and warm attitude really made us feel welcome. It's a good spot if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere and solid Italian cuisine with great service.

Delicious dinner Very friendly staff Recommended wines that went well with the meal

Gloria pasada y ahora carente tanto de calidad como de servicio. Después de una explicación exagerada sobre el “primo piatti”, resultaron ser bastante promedio. Puede importar todo lo que quiera de Italia, pero para el co2 añadido quiero calidad añadida y no fue así. ¿Mejor suerte para la lubina? Realmente no estaba bastante seco no me malinterpretes no era basura pero cuando el dueño se jacta de ser el mejor restaurante italiano de Holanda en Bélgica por extensión espero que esté a la altura de esa afirmación. Ya que soy de Bélgica con “ 6 ” restaurantes italianos de estrellas Michelin. Algunas cosas que espero del mejor restaurante italiano es probar el vino antes de comprar una botella. Especialmente cuando es un quejido que puedes tomar por copa. En segundo lugar, espero que me hablen en holandés, ya que el restaurante está en un país de un solo idioma. Y en tercer lugar espero que la comida deje una impresión duradera. Los 3 no son el caso. Para terminar con una nota positiva el queso y la miel “hone made” estaba bastante bueno. Así que es un lugar de queso y vino que pretende ser un restaurante de primera.

Delicious authentic Italian food. Delicious wines. Be careful you can go quite overboard with their wines. Good and friendly service. A warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Gezellige sfeer, leuk aangekleed. Ze brengen drank en eten met flair. Aanbetalen bij reserveren. De verwachtingen worden dan wel iets hoger en daar voldoen ze helaas niet aan. Vooraf aangegeven dat 2 vd 4 geen vlees eten. Dan is het jammer dat 4 vd 5 antipasti (to share) met vlees is. De vis van het hoofdgerecht zou een mediterraan korstje hebben... De vis was groen van wat smakeloze kruiden, droog en had zeker geen korstje. Echt tegenvallend. Zeker als je het tegen de prijs afzet. Dus voor ons geen succes.

Customer service on very high lvl and delicious food. Enjoy Italian taste journey!

Zeer sfeervol Fijne bediening en alles smaakte perfect Een echte aanrader! Heerlijke wijnen met een ruime keuze uit diverse soorten.

What a relief, you really feel like you are in Italy. Super location, super staff and food is great not to mention the wine range.

The food was very tasty. Only I expect a wine restaurant to ask you to pair wines with your dishes. That is missing. We returned the wine a few times because it did not match the dish. Same goes for the cheese. I expect them to recommend a dessert wine. However, nothing happens at all. Really missed opportunities!! I left a little disappointed.

We chose the 4-course menu and were not disappointed. The dishes are very tasty and contain high-quality ingredients. The service is super nice and very attentive. But what really bothered us were the films that were playing on the screen - that's really inappropriate for such a nice restaurant. So all in all a clear recommendation for what is definitely the best Italian restaurant in Maastricht.

Unfortunately, if you are not a white person, you better not go there...

Upscale Italian food (just under 100 EUR per person) - authentic and delicious. Plus a large selection of wines. Bottles anyway, but the open wines are also diverse. The waiter was a friendly Italian who was a bit forgetful at least twice, but that wasn't a bad thing. In any case, we felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Op zaterdag 29/3/25 opnieuw geboekt bij Vino&Friends. Wij reserveren hier al jaren bij ons bezoek aan Maastricht. Deze maal opnieuw super genoten van ons bezoek!Top menu, top wijnen vooral een pluim aan de medewerkers!!!!Jullie verdienen gewoon de waardering van ‘Beste Italiaans restaurant’!Bedankt en tot de volgende keer!!!!!

A great location to eat Italian food and drink a good glass of wine. The hosts and staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Wij hebben heerlijk gegeten in een fijne sfeer. De bediening is erg vriendelijk en vertelt met humor en passie over de uitgebreide wijnkaart.

What a service. The fried leek with the truffle sauce was amazing. The balsamic vinegar I could dip the bread in was the best. But on top of that is the service, it's unbelievable how nice and funny they are! The ravioli with spicy sausage was very original and tasty. The ricotta with courgette was also very tasty. The only plus would be the desserts, maybe something more original, think of basil with orange and crumble? Really highly recommended!

Fantastic evening at Vino and Friends! Our fourth time at Vino and Friends, and this time it was also a bull's eye. Last night we celebrated my wife's birthday as a surprise, and as always we were received very kindly and completely pampered. The service is gallant, with a playful edge, and every member of the team contributes to an exceptionally pleasant atmosphere. We opted for the four-course menu, and once again every dish was a celebration of authentic Italian flavors, prepared with top ingredients from different regions. Here you can taste the love for Italian cuisine! What really impressed was the professional hosting. Despite an unpleasant situation at another table, where hostess Janka and her team were unfairly confronted with disrespectful behavior, the team remained extremely friendly and professional. Their patience and positivity ensured that all other guests could enjoy their evening undisturbed. Hats off! Ciao a tutti, and see you soon! 🍷🇮🇹

Italiaanse wijnbar zoals die moet zijn! Allemaal Italianen, waar de meesten ook zeer goed Nederlands spreken. Wat een verbetering ten opzichte van een tijdje terug. Een volwaardig team, goed ingespeeld op elkaar. Alert, vriendelijk, professioneel Italiaans. Heerlijke aperitivo, mooie wijnen per glas. Zelfgemaakte limoncello, echt zalig. Goede sfeer. Alex maakte de avond compleet met zijn voortreffelijke onthaal. Heerlijk visgerecht, mooi opgediend. We komen zeker terug!!!!!

A real Italian wine bar, delicious aperitivo, beautiful fish dish, delicious homemade limoncello. Good wines, also by the glass. Well-coordinated management. Professional! Alex made it a party for us. Everyone speaks Italian, English and also good Dutch. We will definitely be back!!!!

Had a delicious lunch and drank nice wine

Not in relation to price/quality €85.- p.p. Was presented verbally with great enthusiasm, Set dinner for everyone, with wine pairing. Dessert was below average for me.

In principle, this is a great restaurant, with good food and even better vine choice. The one thing i didnt like is that they charged us with a 1 full 3 course meal, since the resrvation was for 8 people and we were 7. In general, I would even understand this approach if they would have served the food for 8 people, but they did not serve this food… so why charging the food you did not serve? Its rude not to pre warn - and find this surprize only on the bill.

Gemoedelijke sfeer, vriendelijk personeel. Een heel mooie menukaart. Als 1e gang diverse hapjes. Meer dan genoeg keuze voor de volgende gangen. Alle gerechten zien er mooi uit en smaken voortreffelijk.

Fui allí por primera vez con mi amigo hace un par de días. Nos gusta ir a probar buenos restaurantes una vez al mes, y Vino&Friends ha estado entre los mejores que hemos estado! La comida es de gran calidad y la cantidad es muy generosa - a la manera italiana! Tomamos el menú 4 - cursos (como se puede elegir entre 3 , 4 , o 5 - cursos) , y no nos decepcionó. Nos gustó mucho el hecho de que el aperitivo se compone de 6 platos pequeños para compartir. La selección de vinos también es realmente impresionante, con más de 600 vinos diferentes disponibles. El servicio es tan bueno como la comida y el vino, con servidores amables y atentos que conocen la carta y los vinos. Tuvimos el placer de ser servidos por Benjamin, y estábamos muy contentos del servicio que recibimos y su amabilidad. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar, especialmente si usted está buscando buena comida, buen vino y un gran servicio.

We were here for lunch. 3 course menu with wine. There was a surprise selection as a starter. Super tasty. Main course risotto with pumpkin and amarettini/sea bass. Both very tasty. For dessert a selection of different delicacies. Staff super friendly. The food flows at just the right pace. We can recommend it and will go there again. Be sure to reserve online in advance!

Food is mediocre. Atmosphere is good but can be found in most Maastricht restaurants. It took us 2 hours to get 1 course of a 4 course menu. They served our friends with 3 courses in that time and they left after 2.5 hours while we sat and waited for the 2nd course of our meal. Atrocious. Service staff was great! Friendly and fun. The duration of time was inexcusable for the cost of the wines and meals.

Less tasty than before, little choice. I received gorgonzola cream instead of the promised burrata cream. Portions rather small. Quite a disappointment in terms of food. Service ok, just a bit pushy for multi-course menu.

Cozy, beautiful place with tasty food. And top service!

Friendly staff and tasty and varied Italian menus! Highly recommended in Maastricht 👌🏻

El servicio fue increíble. Benjamin y Alex eran excelentes con su conocimiento del vino y servir la comida. La comida era de alta calidad y no demasiado caro. Recomendaría este restaurante a cualquiera que quiera una buena cena!

Drink delicious wines in a cozy atmosphere with top staff. Food was also tasty, but for us it was mainly about the wine ☺️

Good food but not very special. I've had better Italian food before. Friendly staff.

Bij Vino & Friends is alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Het eten is verfijnd, met prachtige smaken en een presentatie die vakmanschap uitstraalt. De wijnselectie, samengesteld onder de bezielende leiding van eigenaar Bas, is fenomenaal en tilt elk gerecht naar een hoger niveau. De bediening is warm, professioneel en uiterst attent, waardoor je je direct welkom voelt. De passie en toewijding van Bas zijn in elk detail merkbaar, wat deze ervaring uniek maakt. Een absolute aanrader voor wie houdt van heerlijk eten, sublieme wijnen en oprechte gastvrijheid. Wij komen zeker terug!

Vino and friends is een prima Italiaans restaurant met een goed menu. Het voorgerecht is veel maar wel top, de overige gerechten van hoog niveau. Heerlijk eten, prima service en zeer goede wijnen. Voor een hele avond gezellig en heerlijk eten is dit een aanrader. Pizza …..NEE….echt eerlijk en heerlijke Italiaanse gerechten.

Attentive service, great food and an impressive wine selection.

I recently had dinner with my friends. I had made a reservation for 4 people and paid a total deposit of €60. Unfortunately, one friend had to cancel last minute due to a death in the family. We were eventually placed at a table for 3, which was understandable given the situation. What I thought was a shame is that the €15 deposit for the friend who was not present was not deducted from the final bill. This didn't feel entirely fair, especially because the table had also been adjusted to seat 3 people. This experience unfortunately left a negative impression, and I'm not sure I would return anytime soon

Cozy (wine) restaurant, super friendly service. Dishes tasted good, unfortunately the main courses (both meat and fish) were a bit too dry/baked for a long time.

Had a delicious 4 course menu. The main menu was on the small side. Because the 2nd course (several snacks) and 4th course (recreation) were enough, it was enough.

Vino & Friends thank you for the fantastic evening. We absolutely enjoyed it. Love Kim & Sander

Nice and cozy restaurant, good food. great atmosphere. I had dinner here with three friends on a Saturday a few weeks ago. The restaurant was completely full. The food is good and good wine advice is given. The service is just a little too popular for me: loose is ok, but sometimes a little too popular. If I can say one thing that really bothered me is that there was a television screen playing something about wine. OK in a football pub, but in a restaurant like this: disturbing and not done (even if the screen were turned off). In summary: had a pleasant evening, ate well, drank delicious wine, service was always nearby. This restaurant is well organized. The price of our evening was eur 332, excluding tip, including the prepaid reservation costs that were neatly settled.

Wow what a nice place! The food was fantastic, the service very nice and the wine topped everything off. Had a tour of the wine cellar and a complete menu with accompanying wines. What a party. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it and worth it. We'll be back

Very nice place with perfect wine and food . We had a perfect dinner .

Zo lekker gegeten. Top. Ook de enthousiaste Italiaanse ober vertelde uitgebreid over de gerechten en de lekkere wijnen. Dat maakte van t eten en drinken een mooie belevenis. Wij komen terug. Absolute aanrader.

Op een druilerige zaterdagmiddag hebben we hier met heel veel plezier genoten van een uitstekende 4 gangen lunch. De ontvangst was al heel fijn. Vervolgens naar een tafel gebracht. Vooraf hadden we de kaart al bekeken en hadden er al zin in. Wat ter tafel kwam overtrof onze verwachtingen. Om te beginnen kregen we een 5-tal antipasta, die stuk voor stuk voortreffelijk waren. Beiden kozen we voor de ravioli met kreeft onder begeleiding van een sublieme bisque. Boterzachte ravioli met een vulling om van te dromen. De bisque was van dezelfde orde. Alles perfect in balans. Als secondi koos mijn partner voor de tagliata di manza con funghi trifolati, waar ze erg over te spreken was. Perfect bereid vlees met ontzettend veel smaak. Ikzelf koos voor de cous cous con gamberi e verdure. Jeej.....wat lekker! Alles, maar dan ook ieder detail op het bord was perfect op smaak. De gamberi waren zo lekker gekruid. De groentjes waren perfect bereid in houtskooloven, wat de smaak echt naar een hoger niveau tilt. Als nagerecht koos mijn partner voor zoet en dat was een succes. Ikzelf koos voor de kaas en daarvoor gold hetzelfde. De ander kant van de tafel koos als begeleiding voor al dit lekkers voor een rosé, die prima in de smaak viel. Ik koos de Fruliano, die zoals de meesten uit deze streek gewoon erg lekker zijn. Deze dus ook. De inrichting is prima (serre). Al denk ik dat een ander deel beter is. Bij de volgende reservering daar maar een plekje proberen te krijgen. De bediening is gewoon prima, lekker relaxed. Hulde voor de gastvrouw (eigenaresse) die vol passie met aanvullende informatie bij de wijnen haar liefde voor het vak presenteert. De volgende keer wil ik absoluut de wijnen van de eigen wijngaard proberen. Die lagen nu nog te rijpen na de allereerste oogst. Kortom, een Italiaanse parel die zich in deze categorie tot de absolute top in in Z-Limburg mag vernoemen. maar goed, dat is al uitgesproken door kenners, die dit restaurant verkozen tot de beste in 2024. Prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding absoluut perfect.

Absolutely wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. Our favorite restaurant in Maastricht.

A truly excellent meal in a wonderful atmosphere with enthusiastic hosts.

Met collega’s recent hier gaan eten. We hadden een leuke ober die tevens de sommelier was. Had verstand van wijnen en kregen na afloop van het etentje zelfs een rondleiding door de wijnkelder. Eten (4 gangen) smaakte ook zeer goed! Enige minpunt is dat een collega last minute niet kon aanhaken waardoor we met 7 personen ipv 8 personen waren maar we wel voor 8 personen een 4 gangen diner moesten betalen. Kan echt niet aangezien het gewoon a la carte was. Nog nergens anders gezien.

Always good service and always good Italian food with good products.

Voor de 2e keer nu geweest Nog beter dan de eerste keer Goed rekening gehouden met de wensen van mij eigenlijk geen wens (kaas). Heerlijk 5 gangen verrassingsmenu Uitstekende bijpassende wijnen Mooie entourage en top bediening ddor de eigenaresse. Kortom fantastisch.

Had a great evening with my colleagues. Food was delicious, staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable (including knowledge of the food).

Afgelopen zaterdag hebben wij met onze vriendengroep (10 personen) heerlijk gegeten. We hebben genoten van de sfeer, het heerlijke eten en goede wijnen. En om niet te vergeten: van de gastvrijheid en bevlogenheid van eigenaar Bas en z’n vrouw. Wij hadden het 5-gangen menu incl. bijpassende wijnen. We hebben heerlijk getafeld. Ik kom zelf vaak in restaurants, maar Vino&Friends moet je absoluut een bezoeken mocht je in Maastricht zijn! Ik kom zeker nog eens terug.

Top service. Carte vins. Qualité cuisine et ambiance transalpine. 10/10 BRAVO bonne continuation nous reviendrons Présentation soignee FORZA ITALIA

Here they can cook. Rarely have I had such tasty Italian starters. Wine list is more like a book. Plenty of choice. Service good and fun. Downside: Bruschetta was a bit too hard.

Had a wonderful evening here. Good host (Alex) who understands exactly how to entertain people, providing a pleasant evening. Enjoyed a delicious 4-course menu with excellent wines. Huge choice of wine! Small downside, €6.50 for a cap of Limoncello is expensive in my opinion, which is what you get in Italy as a ending or as a thank you for the visit. But anyway, otherwise highly recommended!

Nice little Italian restaurant The antipasti were the nicest : would litteraly only take only that in bigger. Pasta were nice but simple Meat was OK Service a bit too slow : 3hr for a 4 course meal Price : not democratic: 90€/pp with 1 bottle of whine and 1 Aperol Spritz

The food itself cannot be faulted. It is a pity that lately the service has mainly been in English, which does pose a barrier. The prices of the wines by the glass are really too expensive for what you get. €8 for a bland Montepulciano is not good price/quality for me. Regrettably. The wines per bottle range from reasonable to ridiculous prices. Atmosphere where especially noisy.

Wir wurden sehr freundlich in gutem Deutsch willkommen geheissen. Dann wurde uns das Konzept des Restaurants erklärt. Vorspeisen werden nicht ausgewählt, es werden alle zusammen in kleinen Mengen serviert. Danach kann man einen Hauptgang aussuchen oder auch gleich ein 3-5 Gang Menue. Die Weinkarte ist riesig und die Bedienung hat eine riesen Erfahrung in Sachen Wein. Wir bestellten einen Limburgischen Pinot Gris. Herrlicher Wein. Dazu gab es dann die 6 Vorpspeisen, Vitello Tonnato, Bruschetta etc. Alles schmeckte herrlich. Als Hauptgang gab es einmal Trüffel Ravioli und ein mal Tagliata. Die Raviollie waren super. Das Fleisch war gut, aber jetzt nicht der Hammer. Dazu einen feinen Lagrein aus dem Südtirol Zum Dessert einen Grappa und Käse oder Süsses. Es war ein herrlicher Abend.

Had a great evening, delicious food and drinks. Smooth and very friendly service. Until next time

Delicious 😋 a real trip to Italy

Delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable service. When we made the reservation we indicated that we wanted to go to a concert, and this was proactively taken into account. We had a wonderful evening.
