These are the best Italian restaurants in the Netherlands

  • nNea - Meanwhile, nNea is the favourite pizzeria of many Amsterdam residents. The restaurant was founded in 2019 by entrepreneur Limau Chen and chef Vincenzo Onnembo with the aim of creating new pizza traditions. The renaissance of pizza, so to speak. Think light airy bases and seasonal ingredients from southern Italy and the Netherlands. Bilderdijkstraat 92, Amsterdam

  • Lab26 - Owner of Italian restaurant Lab26, Fabio Panissidi, prepares the most delicious Italian dishes at his shop in Hengelo and cooks with fresh ingredients he gets delivered every week from the Naples region. In 2019, they won the award for best Italian restaurant in the Netherlands, and once you've tasted it, you'll understand why. Drienerstraat 24/26, Hengelo (OV)

  • Nerello - Dining the way dinner is meant to be in Italy. That's the motto of life at Rotterdam-based Nerello, which opened its doors in 2020. Authentic Italian dishes are prepared with a modern twist, and are complemented by the tastiest Italian wines. Oostzeedijk 344, Rotterdam

  • La Dolce Vita - A piece of Italy in Eindhoven, that's what La Dolce Vita stands for. The team all grew up with Italian cuisine, and you can taste it! Refined ingredients from the Campania region, Naples and the surrounding area are transformed into delicious dishes. Dommelstraat 24, Eindhoven

  • MARIO - Restaurant MARIO has been voted Best Italian Restaurant in the Netherlands several times by various parties. Who are we to challenge that? The restaurant uses a simple Italian cooking philosophy passed down from father to son - Italian family-style galore. Above all, let chef Mario Uva surprise you. In that case, eight (!) dishes pass the revue, all with matching wines. Neck 15, Wijdewormer

  • Merano -A gem in Nijmegen, in all its simplicity. Never disappoints, that's a promise. Beef tenderloin salad. Risotto with fish. Figs with melted goat cheese. Friendly and fast service. Good prices. Perhaps even better than Italy itself. Lange Hezelstraat 33, Nijmegen

  • Caffè Toscanini - Caffè Toscanini has been a household name since 1985. South African-Italian chef Leonardo Pacenti cooks with passion, intuition and what he has available at the time. The menu changes often, but you will always be pleasantly surprised. Lindengracht 75, Amsterdam

  • Nolita - A classy, Brooklyn-esque (read: hip in a good way) restaurant with a cosy bar that you may have to wait at before you can get to the table, but where you could just as easily stay for a casual dinner all evening. The pizzas are tasty and we walk away with the staff. Lange Veerstraat 17, Haarlem

  • Aroma - fine dining Italian style, that's what you go to Aroma for. Various products from Italy and the Veluwe combine chef Pasquale Carfora into the most beautiful dishes, for an experience full of different flavours, acids and aromas. Kerkweg 1, Vaassen
