Lova – Coffee & Brunch
Address: Haarlemmerdijk 182, 1013JK Amsterdam

2. La Nostra Gigi
Address: Marie Heinekenplein 5, 1072 MH Amsterdam
If you enjoy Italian-style shared dining, La Nostra Gigi is a must-visit. The interior might be a bit much for some, but it has a charm that many will appreciate. The food is mostly excellent – fresh oysters, tasty arancini al ragu, flavorful carpaccio di manzo al tartufo, and more. While the pizette was a bit too creamy and the meatball not quite to our taste, the other dishes were definitely worth trying.
