Toscanini is one of Amsterdam's most beloved Italian restaurants — a warm, always-busy spot in the Jordaan that has built its reputation on honest, regional Italian cooking.
The kitchen
The open kitchen sends out a menu that changes with the seasons and roams across Italy's regions, made with care from good ingredients.
It's the kind of place locals return to for a long, unhurried dinner rather than a quick bite — convivial, a little noisy, and genuinely Italian in spirit.
Good to know
It's deservedly popular, so book well ahead; tables go quickly, especially at weekends.
You'll find it in the heart of the Jordaan, an easy walk from the Westerkerk and the Nine Streets.
