In 1985 Caffe Toscanini started as a tiny Italian restaurant in Goudsbloemstraat in the Jordaan, a typical quarter of Amsterdam. Soon it became known for its authentic Italian dishes, which were prepared with great care and served in a homely and relaxed atmosphere.

Unfailingly and with great love for the original Italian art of cooking food is prepared. Home-made Italian bread comes out of Toscanini's own bakery. The fresh pastas are home-made. All ingredients used are chosen with the utmost care and whenever possible biological products are used. Besides a fixed menu, which is changed every season, there is the menu of the day with its specialities.

The wine list consists of sheer Italian wines whereby the accent lies on the indigenous species of grapes from regions ranging from the north to the south of Italy. Arrivederci!
