Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food is just ok. The real issue here is the price of everything and the sneaky way they add extras to the bill, for example 5 euros for a slice of stale bread broken into 4 pieces. The dishes are all very expensive. We...asked for ravioli and were charged 32 euros each for a small plate !!! After eating in this place, not only was my wallet considerably lighter but I suffered with the most chronic indigestion that I have ever experienced. I will most definitely not be returning!More

This was such a wonderful restaurant - we ended up going twice. The atmosphere is great - quiet and comfortable. The menu u is just delicious. The home made pasta is an absolute must. Really good. The mixed meat/cheese platter was excellent and the cod...starter on chickpeas was delicious. Highly recommended!More

I expected heavy Italian food, but instead got a delicious ravioli with butter and fried sage. So good. Service was great and the prices were fair. Only 4 stars because the staff were standing on the stairs below our table chatting.

We were very happy to find an Italian restaurant that actually serves genuine Italian food. Everything on the menu looked amazing. The sommelier and the waiters were all very friendly and were eager to answer any questions we had about the menu or wines, and...definitely wanted us to have a good experience in their restaurant. For starters we had a beef ragu over a bed of pasta. Both the beef and the pasta were perfectly prepared. We went on to the rabbit, a house specialty, and it was delicious. The sommelier recommended wines by the glass which paired perfectly with the courses. We thought the service was outstanding, given that each item is individually prepared. We also thought the prices were very reasonable, given the high quality of the food and wine. We will definitely return, if we are ever again in Amsterdam.More

It was about to pour. We didn't have a booking. But we were tired and hungry. The crew at Momenti cleared a table, sat us right down, and served us an amazing meal! We started with sharing beautifully paired cured meats and aged cheeses along...with two pasta dishes (truffle ravioli, anyone?). For our main course, they had a special rabbit with several of us had...it was amazing. All in all, with excellent food, *very* fresh pasta, and happy, helpful staff, Momenti is a destination restaurant!More

Kinda hysterical. Food was fine. Limited menu. My friend changed her mind within seconds of ordering. Literally while he was at the terminal plugging it in. She asked his opinion on what was better and changed her mind. He said OK. When plates came they...brought the wrong one to her. It took ages —ages—to bring the correct one. So long that we finished sharing mine and then asked to cancel hers. They said it was already prepared. So fine. It came, we ate it. Bill came — no concession at all. I said it was kinda unusual to not offer to make any amends. Waiter said it was the fault of the kitchen. (Pretty sure not as if he’d told them when he said it was OK, the change would have been made.) And said I should be sure to mention his name in any review. So many good restaurants in Amsterdam no point in this kinda rudeness. It is just pathetic. Food was fine, but not worth the attitude.More

The food and service were really fantastic! I would love to come again, but what bothered me immensely at the end was the sentence on the receipt “Service not included”. Don't the staff at Momenti get paid??? There are laws for fair wages here in...the Netherlands; this is not America! It arouses in me a deep pity for the staff at Momenti, but in no way makes me want to tip extra, on the contrary.More

The food was average, overly reliant on tomato paste for flavor, with no sense of nuance or mastery. The wine by the glass pours were remarkably small. The service was abysmal. The prices were outsized. So, not the best dinner I've ever had.

Found this place by accident and it was a fantastic find. Small but charming authentic Italian restaurant. Nick was a very friendly, helpful and attentive waiter. We were just wanting a light early meal, so my wife had the eggplant parm, and I had the...featured special of duck ragu on tagliatelle. It was delicious and had so much duck and really great flavor. Nice wine as well. The lemon dessert special sounded great but we did not save room. Definitely recommend.More

We booked the night before having walked by and liked the look of the place and the menu. Staff all seemed to be Italian and the food was authentic and interesting. We ate off the menu and a specials board. The photo is a desert...part based on tiramisu called fugimisu. It was chocolate/cream and berries. Typical of the modern and innovative take on traditional Italian cuisine.More
