Best Casual Restaurants in Rivierenbuurt

I am a regular here now. The food is really good and tasty couldn't be better. The menu takes me out of my comfort zone as I usually end up with dish as as generally plain eater that I am not famiilar with. But I am never disappointed with what I order and I go for the 4 courses and wine. For me as a long time Irish resident in Amsterdam who eats out quite regularly. This place has the best food in Amsterdam and is competitively priced. The ambiance is a bit disappointing the dining seats are far apart so it makes a private conversation a little more difficult. But as long as your only there to make small talk with each other who cares. As the Chef is top class.

Sara and Alexandra are exceptional. Food was fantastic. Great space. Will return

In a city known for its narrow buildings, I’m not sure how many restaurants could take a party of 10 with just 30 minute’s notice, but Papa Carlo was more than accommodating. Service was friendly and frankly outstanding. And my tired trade show team was made very comfortable, happy and full.

Terribly slow service for two people, one being a 4 year old and we didn’t feel prioritized at all. We sat down at 6, ordered bread and one main course. They waited a half hour and until the bread was completely gone to come over and ask “can we start your main” … like what have you been doing this whole time?! took 45 minutes to get our steak form the time we ordered… wild! Staff was kind but oblivious

We only came for a cocktail, which were pricey but good. The interior and appearance of everything including staff was impeccable. However, service was on the slow side and our invoice was wrong two times. But it's definitely a nice place for a fancy date :)
