Can I live here 🥹? Such a nice, unobtrusive atmosphere, authentic and low key vibe. Even at 00:30 at night it was no problem to serve a pasta. 🍝 The spaghetti was rich in oil and had a delicious spicy taste, simple and effective, like it should be. The waitress was really kind and gave me the wifi code and wasn’t pressing to buy drinks or anything.

We had a lovely lunch (burata salad and spaghetti were pretty good) and great dessert. The service was fast and the waitress with the glasses was very attentive, thanks again!

Charming, cozy, and with a true family feel—this spot immediately won us over. The ravioli is absolutely phenomenal—make sure to eat it while it’s piping hot, you won’t regret it. The wine is inexpensive. For a place we stumbled upon off the street, we were genuinely impressed and delighted!

Before going to the Concert Gebouw we had a diner at Pinocchio. We enjoyed the italian food and experience. Atmosphere: cosy place. The accoustics could be better. It was quite noisy. It was clean. Overall good atmosphere Service: very polite, kind and shining waiters that took there responsibility seriously. Food quality: tasteful, and really italian for a nice price We enjoyed the experience ant Pinocchio and advice this place if you have to be somewhere around or in the Concert Gebouw.

I checked their menu and Google Maps photos. The lasagna looked very exciting, but when our order arrived, it was completely different. It didn’t even have enough meat. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good, but the lasagna was disappointing.
