Very good service and meal. As a party of 3, we ordered 3 different mains but could have easily been fine with just 2 as portions were large.

A gem in Amsterdam! We were so pleasantly surprised to find this Italian restaurant that rivals our favorite restaurant in NYC. Fresh pasta (tried the seafood spaghetti and pesto tagliatelle). 2 preparations of the shrimp (cognac and garlic). So yummy! And the caramelized balsamic vinegar! Great and personal service. Thanks for a wonderful 2 days in Amsterdam. They were so good, We ate there daily !
