Osteria Vicini

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.

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

Monday late lunch , outdoorterrace , Italian food , spaghetticonpolpettedivitello , linguinealloscoglio , Peroni nastro , Nicaraguan Olivaserievnub . A little popular Italian restaurant in Kralingen near many student houses , with a nice outdoorterrace and a cosy interior inside , and a menu with a variation of Italian popular dishes . Is it up the level of any local Italian deli in Italy in city’s like Milan , Napoli , Rome or any other city ? No , it’s a adjusted to Dutch taste . If u want to grab a quick bite without any hassle for a reasonable price , this is the place for you . If you are used to real traditional classic Italian taste , then there are better options in Kralingen to visit at the oostzeedijk .

I visited twice, for coffee and drinks. The coffee was good and the cocktails were well made. However, the menu was quite limited with few options. I didn’t try the food, but the atmosphere inside was excellent — truly beautiful design and a warm, inviting vibe.

The food was average and far from authentic Italian. We ate Italian dishes adapted to Dutch "tastes". The highlight was the linguine with shrimp, which was enjoyable. However, the spaghetti with meatballs and the octopus were basic and the tomato sauce lacked taste. The service was bad, the waitresses looked bored. The atmosphere and overall vibe were great.

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 👌

Delicious Chicken Sandwich. The chicken is well-marinated and grilled to give extra aroma. Served on a rustic brown bread with salad. Good combination. The restaurant is big with different vibes. *A male staff came in the Ladies to the private access door is strange.

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.
