A hidden gem in the suburbs of Amstelveen! I have passed this place many times throughout my life and now I finally have had the possibility to have lunch here and oh my, should have come here way sooner! Run by passionate italians who want to share their amazing cooking skills with the world. I can highly recommend trying the almond cake and their lasagne, definitely the best I had outside of Italy. All the other things we had off the menu were also delicious, will definitely return!

Great people, very nice, extremely good service and a great atmosphere. The coffee and food is fantastic, my favorites are Bruschitta and Italy panini. The owner of the restaurant treats my kid as his own >3

We had breakfast here several times and were delighted every time. This is a family cafe with an amazing selection of delicious breakfasts and lunches. The Italian bread is wonderful: Focaccia is served warm, bread with olives is not heated. They cook vitello tonato very tasty. They make delicious coffee. From desserts we tried chocolate cake - it is ideal. In the mornings the cafe is full.

Small family run eatery but big in being authentic Italian, a hidden gem in Amstelveen. We are first time customer but certainly not the last time. U can taste the homemade flavors and freshness. Ask for the daily pasta special buon gusto!
