    Wow. Simply put; wow. We've eaten here*, over time, countless pizzas and dishes of pasta. Each dish was better than the last. This restaurant has quickly become our favorite in Maastricht. It's also the place we bring our guests. One will notice the friendly and attentive service as well. Reservations are highly encouraged. *We've eaten here more times than we can count and Toscanella Apuana is consistently really good.

    Authentic Italian restaurant that excels in good cheese and meat. Have been there several times now, and it's become a favorite. Possibly the best Italian restaurant in Maastricht. The interior has become more classy over time and adds to the Italian atmosphere. They have a large shop-style cooler for cheese and meat, and sandwiches and anti-pasti and pizza are accordingly good. Fresh pasta excellent too. It's sticks to the classic style, but does so in a very good looking and creative way. Recommended.

    Astonishing spot for authentic Italian food in Maastricht. The restaurant is located conveniently in the downtown of the city. The ingredients are extremely fresh and the plates incredibly tasty, with dishes from both traditional and modern Italian cuisine that reminded me of Tuscany and Latium. You should absolutely visit this jewel at least once as prices are contained, considering the high quality of the ingredients and service is great. Highly recommended to everyone living or just visiting Maastricht.

    A cute little Italian restaurant by owners from Italy who run it as a family. The ambience is really nice and service is warm and friendly. The food.. It’s so good that I have no words. I tried the Lasagna bolognese and I can say without a doubt that it was the best lasagna ever!! Definitely not worth missing when you’re in Maastricht

    This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Maastricht. The food is very tasty & fresh. The use of authentic Italian recipes provide a very authentic culinary experience and most of the cuts of meat are from Italy too. Seperate to the standard menu, there is also a rotating menu of weekly and/or monthly specials. A wide selection of great wines pair nicely with your food

    Great homemade products and dishes, as always. Wanted to share some dishes, no problem and they presented both dishes we shared (pizza and pasta) on two plates. Top service!

    I tried the pizza and the taste was Italian, really! Everyone spoke Italian and this helped a lot to create an authentic Italian experience. The pizza was good and the girl who served me was very kind. I found the price just a little bit high but basically in line with the local average: Pizza Apuana 15 €, Natural water (75 cl) € 5, Caffè espresso € 2 ...judge it for yourself!

    I would like to call this an experience. Everything we had at the table was bloody amazing, from the wine to the beef to the lasagne and the tiramisu desert. The presentation of the food was very sophisticated, enticing me to want to eat it and enjoy every bite. The beef was tender and they have a hot stone with the beef to cook it how you like it. It came in blue, I decided to eat it as is and I could not have been more surprised by how beefy and tasty it was. The pasta in the lasagne was fluffy and the ragu inside was seasoned perfectly. The béchamel sauce complimented it very well. To end the night a perfect tiramisu was devoured. The slightly bitter coco powder with the sweet, succulent, moist biscuit hit the spot. This is defiantly one of my favourite Italian restaurants I have been too.

    to describe this place in 1 sentence ... eyes closed and mouth full ... you imagine yourself in Italy. As an Italian food geek I have been in many Italian restaurants before - in and outside Italy - but this one is heading my top 3 easily. Fresh products authentically cooked, big enough portions and sublime local Italian wines for a reasonable price. Nothing escapes the staff ... the manager is very attentive and vigilant although he might smile more often. Food is not all that serious. A hidden gem in Maastricht. Definitely come back again but at their wine bar where you can eat the same dishes as in their restaurant.

    I found this quaint Italian Restuarant on the Internet and so hubby and I decided to try it out. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. You do have to make a reservation as they are very busy. I can certainly see why.!

    Last week I went with my son there, after the food came, the owner only came to Italian couple to wish *enjoy the meal* but he just passed us. Jammer! The meal was good but not the owner!

  • 5/5 Adriaan R. 11 months ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience here. The carbonara was excellent, creamy and rich, with perfectly cooked pasta and crispy bacon. The restaurant uses authentic, fresh ingredients, and everything is imported from Italy, even the soft drinks. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. The only minor comment I have is that my boyfriend, who is learning Dutch, spoke in Dutch to the waiter but they replied in English. I think they were just being polite and trying to make us feel comfortable, so it was not a problem at all. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Italian food and wants to have a memorable dining experience. Five stars!

  • 5/5 Albe L. 11 months ago on Google
    If we could give more stars we would. The food is simple, but pure. They are not replacing the good ingredients with cheap rubbish like the other Italians. Pure honest and not to pricey Italian pearl.

    Salty pizza that has nothing to do with Italia or toscana ,dough is not well prepared , poor in cheese , ambience is nice but there was no clients in it !

  • 5/5 Marco G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really really good service and food. Prices also very fair and loads of wines per glass The bruschetta with truffle took me back to Italy in one bite.

    Very friendly staff, real Italians. We ordered 9 Pizzas for our work Lunch. Very tasty and good ingredients were used. I cannot judge the other food but will definitely take out Pizza from that place again.

    Nice cozy authentic Italian restaurant with prompt and friendly service. Food was exceptional, we had the black squid pasta and gorgonzola salami pizza. Both were excellent as was the suggested wine! Pricing very reasonable.

    One of the BEST pizza I’ve ever tasted in my life 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 we’ll done guys

  • 4/5 Mike L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place for Italian food in a cosy setting. Bread was old and dry, pizzas were good but nothing special. I would recommend going for the more special dishes. Service was good. Make sure to make a reservation, especially in weekends.

👍👍 Very cool experience. The ramen was lacking a bit flavour-wise, but I still enjoyed it. The steak was delicious, perfectly cooked, and of course it came still sizzling on a hot stone plate.

😠 Worst attentiveness I have ever received in a cinema. Lack of humanity. Mocking of the clients. They gossip about the clients through their walkies. Horrible experience. Might as well buy the movie at home and watch it alone rather than having to go through such experience. Or go to another cinema....
