Craving authentic Italian in Amsterdam? We just dined at Linguini in Vest and loved every bite. In this post, I’ll share our favorite dishes, the cozy vibe, and why it’s perfect for your next night out.
The food and drinks at Linguini: Italian classics with a modern twist
From the moment we sat down at Linguini in Vest, we knew we were in for a treat. The menu is packed with Italian classics, but what really stood out was the attention to detail in every dish. We started with the bruschetta, and the anchovy version was a real highlight - salty, fresh, and perfectly balanced. For mains, the rigatoni Genovese was rich and comforting, with the nduja and stracciatella adding a creamy, spicy kick that we loved. The carbonara was just as good, creamy without being heavy and full of flavor. Dessert was a tough choice, but both the crème brûlée and homemade tiramisu were spot on - light, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The drinks menu had a nice selection of Italian wines and cocktails, which paired perfectly with the food. Overall, everything felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared.
The Atmosphere at Linguini: Warm, Inviting, and Full of Character
What really made our evening at Linguini special was the atmosphere. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming feel with soft lighting and a relaxed buzz that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. We loved being able to see into the open kitchen - it adds a sense of excitement and you can tell the chefs are passionate about what they do. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, always ready with a recommendation or a smile. The bar area is a great spot to start your night with a drink, and the overall vibe is perfect for both a cozy date or a fun dinner with friends. We especially appreciated how the space felt lively but never too loud, so you could actually enjoy your conversation.
