Incanto – The best Italian place!

Opposite the landmark Hotel de L’Europe and the Munt Tower, you can find this nice and cozy restaurant with a breathtaking view overlooking the Amstel river: Incanto. It’s Italian nouvelle cuisine, on the first floor in central Amsterdam. At the moment I think it is the best Italian restaurant, top class with a reasonable tab at the end of your meal!

The first time I had dinner at this place they were painting; a disappointment. But the nice and friendly scenery made it a great experience.

No pizza’s, but pasta and real Italian food, with antipasti, primi and secondi, served with contorno (known as vegetables or side dishes in general).

They have an very interesting wine list with really famous & expensive wines like Amarone, but also unknown wines from a small vineyard, where they have met the landlady (70 years old). After a sizzling glass of Prosecco, served with an amuse and great home made bread with olive oil, it is up to you.

They serve a tasting and inspirational menu daily. But also the daily changing risotto is extremely recommendable. The warm melting chocolate cake and the original Zabaglione as dessert, makes a dinner remarkable, and something to remember.

The menu changes every season!
