Good food! Expensive though but original modern twist of the rijsttafel! Always weird when nobody speaks Dutch while in a restaurant in Amsterdam...so, it is also explicitly called rice table by the servants...

In a city known for its narrow buildings, I’m not sure how many restaurants could take a party of 10 with just 30 minute’s notice, but Papa Carlo was more than accommodating. Service was friendly and frankly outstanding. And my tired trade show team was made very comfortable, happy and full.
