I love it here! The food is always perfect and the staff and ambiance are the reason we keep coming back.
New favourite Italian in town! The bread was amazing and the tiramisu was on another level. The atmosphere was very cozy as well. I highly recommend this place!
Our visit to Brio Amsterdam in De Pijp was excellent and easily one of the best Italian meals we’ve had in the city. The atmosphere is warm and lively, and the service was attentive and professional throughout. We started with a beautifully prepared arancini—light and crisp with a delicate cheese flavor—alongside a fresh, vibrant salad. For primi, we had pappardelle with osso buco ragù and fettuccine with salsa piccante. Both were outstanding—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with great care. Dessert was a highlight. The tiramisu was very good, but the rhubarb rice pudding with orange and whipped cream was truly exceptional. The only small downside was slightly crowded seating, but it didn’t take much away from the experience. Overall, Brio is now our number one Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. Highly recommended.
Cozy and cute Italian restaurant. Good quality. Good service. I have ordered the octopus as a starter and the parpadelle as main course. The octopus was properly cooked, what I liked was the quality, as it is a good sign that it is going to be delicious. The pappardelle with ossobuco ragu were flavourful, juicy, and intensely delicious. I loved them. What impressed me least was the dessert; the tiramisu was not the best I have ever had.
Dinner was really nice, service was superb. Went there with friends who are pregnant and they were very careful with checking the ingredients and recommend the food to them. Food was really good to and the tiramisu.
