Description:
This small restaurant has a warm, welcoming ambience and excellent southern Italian food (at least that's the point of emphasis, but most regional Italian dishes are available -- though not pizza). Popular with the artists and bohemians who inhabit the neighborhood, Toscanini has unembellished country-style decor, and an open kitchen, that speak of authenticity. Cooking is home-style and there's a long-as-your-arm list of Italian wines. Service is congenial and chatty but can be slow, though that doesn't deter loyal regulars, who clamor for specialties like the delicious veal lasagna and fazzoletti (green pasta stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, and mortadella). Fish, risottos, and pastas in wondrous shapes and sizes all deserve consideration. For dessert, the Italian ice cream is as good as it looks, and the cheeses run a close second.

one of the best Italian restaurants in Amsterdam, and they know it. Try to book a table, which is not that easy.
