4.8 / 5.0(2,405 reviews)

My friend and I had visited Amsterdam for our first girls holiday together. We had a few bad experiences with the first few restaurants we tried. We knew we wanted to visit an Italian Restaurant whilst away and we gladly found Il Vicolo! We of course chose a classic Carbonara, and we could not have been happier. It was INCREDIBLE. Rich and delicious. I am a big lover of Tiramisu, so although I was quite satisfied after the Carbonara, I HAD to indulge. The restaurant was quaint but lively! Our waitress, Teresa, was amazing!! She offered to translate the menu for us, she ensured we had all we needed. We also witnessed her going above and beyond to get the greatest photos for this big group who were also dining here. She went outside and photographed them all through the window which you could tell was much appreciated. I would absolutely come back again to try more of their dishes! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! The food is absolutely phenomenal! We went two nights in a row for dinner and would have gone a third, but they are closed on Tuesdays. Go see Teresa and her crew for some of the best food you've ever had! (It is a really small place so go early in the evening or you may have a little wait). The service was attentive and friendly, with staff Teresa eager to share their recommendations. The cozy ambiance of In Vicolo made the dining experience even more enjoyable, providing an intimate setting to savor these delicious dishes. Ristorante In Vicolo is a gem in Amsterdam, offering not only fantastic food but also a warm and inviting atmosphere. The tagliatelle dishes, particularly the pistachio and burrata, are must-tries. I highly recommend visiting this charming spot for an unforgettable Italian meal!

What an incredible dining experience in Amsterdam! The food at Il Vicolo was always served piping hot, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavor. The service was nothing short of phenomenal—warm, attentive, and welcoming. And the chefs? Truly fantastico! We enjoyed dinner at Il Vicolo three times during our stay, and each visit was just as memorable as the last. While we sampled other restaurants throughout the week for both lunch and dinner, nothing compared to the charm and quality of Il Vicolo—it’s a true gem worth savoring. Start your evening with their delicious bruschetta and a lovely glass of wine, then dive into any of their main courses—we tried them all, and each one was outstanding. Teresa, her son, and the entire family bring such heart and hospitality to the restaurant that it feels like more than just a meal; it’s an experience. Thank you, Il Vicolo, for making our time in Amsterdam so special. Highly recommended!

It was good. Didn’t wait in line too long. It’s walk-in only. Seemed like a very popular place & it’s near a lot of the good shopping in the center. The prosciutto & mozzarella tasted very fresh & they give you a good portion of prosciutto. We really enjoyed that as an appetizer. Overall, I wasn’t blown away, but it seemed like a lot of Italian patrons come here & the whole staff is Italian, so I believe it’s truly authentic. Pretty pricey. The pasta plates are over 20 €.
