A Tavola

Delicious food! Stopped by chance as we we’d arrived fairly late to the city, but glad we did! The bruschetta was delicious, the ragu was perfectly cooked, and the tiramisu was also great. Decent prices too, would recommend.

A Tavola – Italian Restaurant at Kadijksplein, Amsterdam A Tavola is a very good and authentic Italian spot. We started with the mixed antipasti, which had a nice variety of cold and warm items — the stuffed mushrooms stood out. For the Primi, we had the carbonara with truffle. It was just right: simple, rich, and the pasta was cooked al dente. As Secondi, we went for the Parmigiana di Melanzane, which was also really tasty. With the food, we had a bottle of Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva and a Soave Classico. We skipped dessert because we were too full, and instead shared a bottle of 2019 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva to finish. If you haven’t been, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

This restaurant is in a great location just outside the extremely busy center of Amsterdam but either easy walking distance of the central train station. The burrata with roasted egg plant, red peppers, grilled zucchini, and sourdough bread is the perfect starter. The carbonara y tartufo is excellent and the the beef tenderloin seasoned with fresh rosemary was cooked perfectly.

It’s a pity I have to give this place fewer stars than it could have earned. Overall, it’s a lovely restaurant in a beautiful location, but one waiter managed to dampen what was meant to be a special day for us. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were first greeted by an older man who began serving us. He was very indifferent — no smile, no interest — and immediately made us feel unwelcome. Thankfully, a younger waiter stepped in later, and his friendliness saved the impression from being completely ruined. He was warm, smiling, and even gave us a card to congratulate us on our special day. For the rest of the evening, we were served by another man — Italian, I believe — who was also very pleasant and attentive. The antipasti were excellent, the main course was less impressive, but the tiramisu for dessert was absolutely delicious. In conclusion, if we had been served by the other staff members from the very start, the whole experience could easily have been five stars.

My partner and I dined at this restaurant in August. The location is in a very nice area full of atmosphere, and during the summer the best option is to dine outside, to enjoy the sun in the evening. We ordered the mixed bruschette, and then 2 first courses each - tagliatelle with lemon and ham totally recommended. Then, we shared a chocolate tart with melted heart with 2 vanilla ice cream scoops. We really enjoyed our meal and would like to come back!

Good service and nice location. Pasta was pretty good and fresh, but veal was too sour to our taste

It’s recommended by our local friend. She highly recommended this restaurant described as her favourite Italian restaurant in the town. It was super busy. Recommend to make reservations before going there. The service is very Italian and busy. Be patient. The food is fabulously good and beautiful! The eggplant lasagna is gorgeous! You have to try!

I lovedd this place, from start to finish service was incredible, such a welcoming ambiance. Food was delicious and very fresh however it took a bit longer than expected but I did not mind the wait since it was so fresh. Honestly if you are craving some good italian food, this is the place to go. What a lovely experience I had at this place.

Really delicious authentic Italian food! Ambiance is simple, service was great. Loved everything we ate. The owner was serving us, he is clearly from Italy, speaks fluent italian. We had the linguine with truffles and salmon, and the grilled whole sea bass with herbs, both were wonderful. Panna Cotta for dessert. Good Italian wine. The dishes were not complicated, just a perfect blend of flavors. Good value for the price!

Had high expectations for this restaurant but turned out to be a disappointment! Waitress did not speak English so we had to point to what we wanted. Started out with a bottle of house red wine and mozzarella with grilled vegetables. The prices indicated were 21 euros for the wine and 13 for the appetizer. The appetizer was so tiny and lacked flavor. We then ordered homemade ravioli, baked pork chops and seafood linguine. The linguine was the only winner, the ravioli was stuffed only with cheese and very bland, pork chops turned out to be one tiny chop served with a small plate of fried potatoes for 25 euro and when we received the check, the wine was 40 euros! We tried to explain that we had ordered the less expensive wine but she refused to change the price. So ended up with a bill of well over 100 euros for mediocre food, look elsewhere for your next Italian meal
