About
Tucked away on the Lindengracht in the heart of Amsterdam, Toscanini has long established itself as one of the city's most beloved Italian restaurants. Chef Leonardo Pacenti leads a kitchen that fills night after night with loyal guests drawn to unpretentious, deeply flavourful Italian cooking. That combination of simplicity and intensity has earned the restaurant a Gault&Millau score of 14.5/20.
The accolades reflect what regulars have known for years: Toscanini was named Mediterranean Restaurant of the Year 2025 and features in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026. A Google rating of 4.4 across nearly 1,300 reviews underlines just how consistently it delivers. The setting is modern-rustic with an open kitchen, giving the whole experience a warm, lived-in character.
Open for dinner Tuesday through Thursday and for both lunch and dinner on Fridays and Saturdays, Toscanini also offers outdoor seating — ideal when Amsterdam's weather cooperates. Vegetarian options are available, and reservations are strongly recommended.
