Very attentive service and equally tasty dishes. We opted for the 6 course menu, which was a delight. The restaurant also caters very well for gluten free.

Our best meal in Amsterdam. Real attention to detail and to authentic Italain cuisine. It is quite expensive, compared to other choices nearby, but you are paying for good cooking and lots of very attentive waiting staff who are also knowlegeable. Would recommend but you need to keep on piste with their fixed menus because a la carte you could... More

Located on a side street off of the Prisengracht canal in the Jordaan district, Bussia offers fine dining of Northern Italian Cuisine with a decisively Dutch twist. We appreciate the diverse offerings and ever improving dining scene in Amsterdam and Bussia does not disappoint. Open for both lunch and dinner, Bussia is usually quite busy and reservations are strongly recommended.... More

Excellent Italian - simple but refined dishes superbly prepared. Focused menu with very good value for lunch. Perfectly sized portions and quite light dishes. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Interesting and well chosen wine list. Went with our two year old girl for lunch - totally accommodating and as a final specially made figure ice cream for her. Just a perfect... More

The tasting menu accompanied by comments from Johann was a revelation. He found the perfect wine for us, and we are fussy! The food was wonderful and perfectly presented

This is truly exceptional. A symphony of new, daring and surprising tastes served to perfection. Charming young waiters are very helpful, fast and proficient. Make sure not to miss this fabulous restaurant in Amsterdam but don't omit to book as long as possible in advance. We think the first floor seating is best. Reasonably priced, considering what you get. Excellent... More

Not a cheap restaurant but for the quality if food, service and atmosphere it is worth every penny. 6 course menu was superb and an excellent and imaginative selection of wines to accompany. No problem at all catering for our ceoliac daughter. Staff disceet, friendly and knowlegable. What's not to like!

This was recommended by our hotel and we had a delightful evening here. From the warm welcome, the cheerful staff and beautifully presented (and tasting) food, it was a lovely meal to end our three day trip to Amsterdam.

Fortunately it was quite early in the evening and they took us due to they eat late in Amsterdam. When we left the restaurant it... More
