3 italian rooms worth the trip across Netherlands, editor-ranked. All cuisines in Netherlands.
Toscanini ★ 4.6 · Amsterdam
jordaan · Lindengracht 75, 1015 KD Amsterdam
Toscanini has been Amsterdam's reference Italian since 1985, a Jordaan room running its own bread, its own pasta, and a list weighted toward small producers.
Tip: Reserve two weeks out for weekends. The room is loud, in the best Italian-trattoria sense.
Vicio Il Mastro Pastaio ★ 4.4 · Amsterdam
oud-west · Bilderdijkstraat 192H, 1053 LE Amsterdam
Vicio on Bilderdijkstraat is the Amsterdam Sicilian pasta room, professional pasta makers from Sicily turning out busiate, ravioli and a daily-changing fresh-pasta board.
Tip: Small room, books up fast on weekends. Lunch is the quieter window.
Caldi e Freddi ★ 4.3 · Amsterdam
centrum · Spuistraat 106, 1012 VA Amsterdam
Caldi e Freddi on Spuistraat is the Amsterdam Italian deli-trattoria you walk past once and book the next week, a tight room with fresh pasta and a wine list to match.
Tip: Lunch is a counter scene; dinner is small-room booking.
