As Simone is Italian, he is eating pasta almost every day and as you can imagine, pasta is a very important meal for Italians. I would say mainly the preparation of the pasta is crucial and needs to be good and al dente !!!

To be honest, being from Prague, I was not exactly raised in Italian culture and the importance of pasta in everyday life. For me, it was a simple dish that fills you up and it is fast to cook.

Now I know, that I did not really understand the whole fuss about fresh pasta until I met Simone and he cooked for me Spaghetti Carbonara on our first date.

Since that day, I fell in love with all pasta dishes (also with Simone hehe) and we continue our search for great Italian restaurants around the world.

We can imagine that by reading this post you like Italian food so if you want to buy quality products directly from Italy, check out our post about Chiara’s food in Amsterdam.

This time, we introduce you to the new hidden gem of Italian restaurants in Amsterdam, Pastai.

Pastai Amsterdam – Italian restaurants in Amsterdam

Pastai is a very cool Pasta bar located in the west of Amsterdam, just a few minutes walk from Vondelpark and Foodhallen.

This project was launched over one year ago by 3 Italian partners. The opening of Pastai was a part of their dream as they wanted to introduce delicious and freshly made pasta to customers in Amsterdam and the Netherlands.

For sure if you are local, you might have your favorite Italian restaurant in Amsterdam with great food, however, Pastai, is a  magic star in the quality of the food with delicious fresh pasta.

This restaurant offers modern decoration with a variety of tables to share or individual tables for more romantic dinners.  There is also a small terrace outside if you like to enjoy your dinner outdoors during summertime.

Pastai Menu – Italian restaurants in Amsterdam

The Menu is particular, as it is very short and simple. It is changed every week with different pasta dishes, but usually, it consists of 3 starters, 6 pasta dishes, and two desserts. That is exactly what any Italian restaurant in Amsterdam and in the world should do to offer the highest quality.

We should probably mention that if you want pizza or any other Italian classic dish except pasta, then this restaurant is not for you.

When you enter the restaurant, on the right side you can also find some of the products exposed so you can buy it and prepare a pasta dish at home.

All dished in Pastai were just delicious, pasta al dente and homemade tiramisu so we have fully enjoyed our dinner.

Our dinner – Italian restaurants in Amsterdam

We had to start with two Aperol Spritz as aperitive.

We continued with a very good Burrata and Friselline al Pomodoro.

After we opted-in for two very tasty pasta dishes. Pappardelle with veal ragu, and Tagliatelle al Nereo with bluefin tuna and stracciatella.

For dessert,  we ate homemade tiramisu which was just delicious (especially when you feel a lot the coffee taste).
