    "Ristorante IL Primo," located in the bustling heart of Amsterdam, offers a slice of Italy with its warm service and homestyle cooking. The bruschettas are excellent, bursting with fresh flavors, and the pizza is simply delicious, with a perfectly crisp crust and rich, authentic toppings. A delightful dining experience for those craving Italian comfort food.

    Excellent service, friendly and the food is done with respect and quality. The staff makes you feel welcome great environment highly recommended. As a trained cook I appreciate the effort put forth. So good we came twice! And it was consistently good from the pasta to the pizzas! The staff was very friendly and attentive. As a cook to be consistently good is gold and it’s golden here.

    Simply amazing! There are several choices for Italian food on this street, but we chose to come here. Best decision! The food was so delicious and fresh! Great service and great atmosphere. We would definitely come back.

    very caring service, I haven’t seen this for a long time, especially in the center of Amsterdam, on a tourist street) the waiter guy with long hair (Italian) was very caring, I didn’t like the prosecco, since there were few bubbles, he measured for another wine, absolutely free, just bravo) the pizza was also impeccable

    Pizzas are pretty good and staff is friendly, but what I find unacceptable is the waiting time for your meals. I understand when the restaurant is busy that it might take longer than expected, but I’ve had 2 occasions where there was one or two more tables and the pizza took 30-40 minutes to arrive, we were going to leave but just as we were getting up the pizza arrived. As mentioned before pizza is good, but only if you’re willing to wait a while.

    HELLO FOODIES🤪 Today I have @ilprimo for you guys!! It’s an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam🇮🇹 they are located in a quit busy street I would say, without any notice from the people passing by that they have really good food for the price range their on. I tried three of their main courses on the menu the risotto lambs meat 🍖 , lobster pasta🦞, and truffle mushroom pasta 🍝 . My favorite was the risotto meat was very tender (fall of the bone 9/10🦴) risotto was well seasoned with a hint of saffron😏 lobster pasta was well cooked (al dente) first time trying lobster pasta would get it again 8/10. The mushrooms 🍄 in the truffle pasta is a nice touch (for the peeps who like shrooms) for my experience it gave the dish more of a creamy and cheesy experience (7,5/10) Instagram: Joelthefoodie for more reviews of restaurants in Amsterdam

    We experienced culinary excellence at an amazing Italian restaurant, featuring exceptionally delicious pizza and bruschettas with fresh tomatoes. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere added to the overall charm, making it a delightful dining destination.

    Better lasagna than Rome. Main dish and one white wine was €25. Could be a bit pricey but absolutely enjoyable! ❤️ nice and friendly server.

    Likely the best Italian restaurant I have been, the taste of their pizza and pasta was amazing, praising their carbonara. Great vibes and good service, only thing is that it was a bit too dark. Other than that 10/10

    The best Italian you will have in Amsterdam! Location is perfect! We found the restaurant on our 1st trip to Amsterdam, and will eat here several days throughout all of our stays (5 times so far). Reasonably priced, really nice staff and food is so tasty and cooked to perfection always! Seating both in doors and outdoors!

    Reasonable prices for a restaurant in the center. Fast service, and helpful waiters. Even though the portions are small, the flavors were great for me. Nice vibe in those streets and it wasn’t too busy during the afternoon.

  • 4/5 Aleksei D. 4 months ago on Google
    We had two pasta dishes for lunch there. They were very good. Drinks were fine too as well as the appetizer. If it was not 45 minutes to get the pastas, that would have been a perfect place. Luckily we were on vacation and had no rush to go back to work

  • 4/5 Jeffrey R. 1 year ago on Google
    We just stopped by for drinks and to get out of rain. They had great patio area and lots of overhead heaters. Their wine by the glass was a generous pour. While we didn't eat, their food and menu looked delicious.

  • 2/5 Lukas S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was ok and kind of expensive. I have definitely eaten a better pizza and the other food was okay too. The waiter did not even really talk to us when we ordered (just staring at us) and food took forever to arrive. The toilets are not really usable and dark and dirty. I would recommend to go to another Italian restaurant, it really is not worth it.

  • 1/5 Florin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks to the chefs who destroyed my holiday by giving me food poisoning after trying their “clams spaghetti” , I ended up spending the night and the next day in a public hostel bathroom 🤮. The food quality is also very poor and the cooking methods mediocre. You could make better pasta at home with Lidl ingredients and not get charged 17 euro for it. Definitely a tourist trap, “Italian” just by the name.

    Acceptable food on a reasonable price, good, but nothing special

  • 4/5 Kait S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a really nice meal here. I had lasagne my sister had chicken and mushroom pasta. Both really enjoyed it. Prices were reasonable for Central Amsterdam. We sat outside and there was a good atmosphere.

    Stopped there during pride weekend. It was very busy but server was super nice and was able to set us outside. We ordered the pizza 4 cheeses, the fried ball of risotto and a salad with fried goat cheese accompanied with a bottle of rose wine. All where good.

  • 1/5 tyler b. 1 year ago on Google
    literally the worst restaurant ive ever been. the food was so bad and so was the service. DO. NOT. GO. HERE. the cocktails came after we were finished the food even tho we ordered them as soon as we got there. the waitress was so rude and unfriendly. the crust and bread was stale. THERE ARE MANY OTHER GOOD ITALIAN RESTAURANTS RIGHT NEXT DOOR GO THERE. DO NOT WASTE UR TIME AND MONEY. I WARNED U.

  • 1/5 mercedes m. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly disappointed, the pizza was far from "italian" really hard dough and tasteless. It remained me to the ones you buy in the supermarket and you cook in the oven. Customer service was fine, but the food can be significantly improved.

  • 1/5 For G. 1 year ago on Google
    RUDE! No desire to serve customer. Could be because of being racist. The guy in beard - our supposed server. No 'expectation setting' of timing when we placed order. We asked after 30min still did not feel the need to share how much 'more' time. Imagine sitting for 40min with no clue when dinner will come. Had no courtesy to even show a concern for the delay. We felt a bit of racist attitude. We walked out and instead of apologising and trying to convince us to stay came running SHOUTING at us that we should inform. Which we did to 2 of your employees. The lady just shrugged shoulders. No one had any concern at all.

    Just walked past and decided to try. Lovely menu variety and staff came over instantly. Pasta was delicious and had a variety of cocktails too!!

  • 5/5 Dan O. 2 years ago on Google
    We pop in here often. The pastas and pizzas are great for a sidewalk cafe and a quick bite - the best in the street by far. If you’re looking for cuisine, go somewhere else. Never had a problem with service - in fact we find it superior to many restaurants in Amsterdam. It’s easy, it’s relaxed and fun for watching the crowd.

    Service and the dishes were wonderful ! Everything was fresh and delicious. I recommend the “Killer Tiramisu” because it is really killer. Cheers to the lovely waitress

    One of the best restaurants in Amsterdam. It was a wonderful experience for me and my girlfriend. I made a reservation online and went and ordered a Margherita pizza and Parmigiano pasta. It was very wonderful and the cocktails were very delicious. We enjoyed it very much. It is a very excellent place and I advise you to try it.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
