The 38 Essential Amsterdam Restaurants

"The Amsterdam pizza scene is growing fast, and nNea leads the way in the modern Neapolitan style. No wonder the restaurant was the first Dutch place on the 50 Top Pizza Europe (the list of best European pizzerias outside of Italy). The restaurant adamantly opposes the notion of pizza as fast food, committing to a time-consuming process (that could last up to five days) of fermenting, resting, and proofing their dough. Chef Vincenzo Onnembo bakes the light, chewy dough in a bright yellow Pasquale Fazzone pizza oven and tops the pies with primo seasonal ingredients. The restaurant only serves dinner, and reservations are essential." - Monique van Loon
