Osteria Vicini

Decent diner for a Dutch decent price. Welcoming staff and fast and efficient service. Personal note: the dishes looked fantastic. Plate appearache excellent. Missed only the mediterraan extra touch of flavor.

We booked for 18:00 for our dinner with my taiwanese friend and this is our first dinner together, but such a disappointment because of this restaurant, its around 19:00 and we just almost finishing our maincourse as we are not big eater, so we eat our food gently, then were planning also to order a dessert after maincourse but we dont have that feeling anymore because like while eating a waiter come over and theyre told us we need to finish the food and theyre need our table for other customer, seriously ?? Sounding like theyre want to kicking us out and 1.5 hours and making us rush to finish our food ? Befause theyre said that table only reserve for us for 18 to 19:30 and theyre dont event told us by email or before we start , My gosh what kind of restaurant is this🤨. Will never comeback im sorry there will be better restaurant and better service we could find. We didnt even finish our precourse the calamares and olive pity really its still a lot because of our annoying feeling to them.

We came here with friends who frequent this place very often. Nice ambience and service is friendly and forthcoming. We were not very hungry so we shared a pizza and pasta dish. Both were good. Loved the Affogato which they offered with decaf espresso (something that one doesn't get everywhere).

We had very good time eating here! Nice place with tasty food and good service.

I was passing by the restaurant almost every day, and is busy most of the time, so I decided to give it a try. They have classic Italian food, and a small market type of store when you enter, where you can buy various Italian goods, like limoncelo etc. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. Service was attentive and fast with all the requests. And food was amazing, tasted fresh and delicious, without being overwhelming. I tried the carpaccio, bruscetta, burrata pesto and the polpette di vitello ( meatballs in tomato sauce). Dishes came fast, even though it was busy at the moment, and the food was very well prepared and tasty. Also I was told that their pizza and pasta dishes are also very nice. If you like good, classic Italian food, and value a good service, I would highly recommend the place!

If you're expecting authentic Italian cuisine, this place doesn't deliver. While it may be considered a regular restaurant, it's definitely not the spot for true Italian food. The pizza dough was bland and lacked flavor, and though the cheese was decent, the spaghetti seemed like packaged pasta instead of fresh. The sauce and meat were passable, but nothing special. They attempted a modern twist on tiramisu, but it didn’t quite hit the mark. The only highlight was the cappuccino, which I really enjoyed. On a positive note, the ambiance inside was pleasant. However, we were told there would be a half-hour wait at the bar, which was fine, but it was disappointing when we were then seated at a bar table instead of a regular table, requiring us to wait even longer.

Definitely one of my favorites restaurant in Rotterdam, in every aspect, it’s just perfect. The food, the atmosphere and the design. The staff are so friendly and helpful, Perfect for grabbing drinks with a friend, fancy lunch or dinner 👌

extremely good pizza, would love to try it again, unfortunately i dont remember being provided with an english menu just an italian one which proved to be quite the challenge for me to use, cause of my not extremely proficient italian language knowledge

Tasty food for a reasonable prices!!!! Very spacious and modern interior, always full of people. I love pizza there the most but other dishes are very tasty as well.

Starters ok! But nothing out of the ordinary ! Main dish was a nice positive surprise, the cod was super!

Great ambience with good food. Enjoyed rocket salad, grilled veggies as an appetizer, tuna pizza (must like tuna strong taste as this is without cheese), and shrimp linguine. Dessert, tiramisu, was very disappointing.

Cosy place with a welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages. The food is of varying quality - the daily specials seem to be a better choice than the regular menu - and the wine list could do with a lot of improvement, but the staff is attentive.

Food is really good! Friendly waitress too. However, during busy times such as Friday nights, would recommend making a reservation beforehand.
