Romana Ristorante Italiano (Italian Restaurant)

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

This Italian restaurant is located in Amsterdam, not far from the central station. They offer Italian foods such as pizza and pasta. Their menu is in English as well as Dutch. The food is pretty average and typical of these types of restaurants in Amsterdam, which seem to be everywhere.

It seemed a bit strange that the only table for 2 was in the very back right next to the kitchen. It was pretty busy when we got there, so that's where they sat us. We were a bit confused by the bill, because it didn't quite add up, and wasn't in English, but we figured they must have added a tip.

Dress

Very casual. It did not appear to be an upscale restaurant at all.

Cost

Pizzas and pastas cost between €6-€9.

Items Ordered

Pizza Americana

Pizza Americana

The pizza was quite delicious. The crust was thin and dry (not greasy). It was a little bit hard to cut, and they did not serve it cut. The cheese was really good - it had a hint of sweetness to it. The pizza was a little bit too salty.

Pasta Della Casa

Pasta Della Casa

The dish came very hot, and I had to wait for it to cool a bit before eating. The sauce was really good, and included lots of vegetables - mushroom, peas, green beans, onions, and green peppers. The ravioli was pretty typical. This dish was also quite salty.
