“ Such a wonderful discovery. One of the most remarkable restaurants in Amsterdam. Their food is beyond scrumptious and the presentation is very chic. Simply stunning and highly recommended. I will come back ”
“ We had a hungry desperate look on our faces on a spring night, so the staff took pity on us and remained open a little longer for us! The chestnut chickpea soup was very good. The compliment of the sweet nuts with the savory chickpea base was a lovely combo & the ravioli was filled generously with burrata. Our daring teenager had the rabbit & bacon pinwheels with gravy (see pic) all of which was enjoyed immensely. The white chocolate parfait and biscotti were great desserts to finish off the meal. Wait staff were very friendly and attentive. ”
“ Absolutely delicious Authentic Italian dinner and wines. ”
“ The restaurant was fantastic. The service was top-notch, and all our wishes were accommodated. Luca and Niko were very hospitable. The food was excellent, with very large portions. A three-course menu was too much for the ladies. The location was very authentically Italian, and there was a good selection of wines. The conversation was excellent. We had an unforgettable evening. The restaurant is away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Simply download the Uber app and order without any problems. ”
“ So happy we finally made it back. This remains my favorite Italian restaurant in the Jordaan. Fresh, authentic, seasonal Italian food with great wine pairings in a cozy setting. And the service is wonderful too. Really great to hear Italian spoken by everyone working in the restaurant. Catch the amazing asparagus dishes while it is still in season. ”
“ Love the food and cozy atmosphere at La Maschera! We are locals here so are spoiled that it is in walking distance. The food is always really good and I tend to go for the 4 courses with wine pairings, which is quite reasonably priced compared to other restaurants. The chef picks the dishes but you can say if you don’t like fish or other and they will be very accommodating. My partner is vegetarian and always finds a nice selection on offer, not just the standard cheese ravioli. This time she had an amazing white asparagus dish for an appetizer and then a nice pasta dish. I had a bruschetta dish as the appetizer, and part of the 4 courses meal, but it was interestingly deconstructed. It had crisped bread with lovely olive oil but along with cheese, tomatoes and other veggies. All of the flavors blended so nicely together. The next dish was gnudi made from ricotta and spinach. These were so light and delicious that I could have had more as my main! The secondi was a lamb dish that I enjoyed but I kept wanting more of the gnudi. And finally a semifreddo for dessert, which was perfect with the red dessert wine they served it with. All the wine pairings worked nicely with the different dishes. If you don’t want the chef to surprise you, they have an extensive daily menu that you can choose from but all of the course dishes are also from that menu. You can choose 3, 4 or 5 courses. The portions are a good size so 3 or 4 works for me. I tried the 5 once but it was way too much food. Love going here on special occasions because they are very friendly and the chef likes to joke around as you watch him cook behind the counter. It’s small and intimate so make reservations if you can, although I have been there when walk-ins were welcomed. ”
“ Yummy quiet Italian spot! It feels like the chef is cooking in your own home it is so intimate. Friendly service and yummy wine! I had the Ravioli Burrata and it was delicious! ”
“ Very nice little restaurant. We had a very nice diner! Friendly staff, good wine, nice menu. Very nice Italian dishes! If you like Italian food this place is a very good choice. Not the tourist Italian, but freshly made Italian dishes! ”
