Restaurant Insieme Amsterdam: very special Italian dishes and a fantastic atmosphere!

Looking for an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam that makes all its dishes really special? Then definitely eat at Insieme! Believe us: you will come back many times afterwards. Insieme was started by two friends from Sardinia, both with a lot of catering experience and a great passion for food and delicious wines. And you notice this immediately when you sit down to the table: the love and enthusiasm radiates when we talk to them about the food!

The best ingredients from Italy at Insieme Amsterdam

They go for the best ingredients, which they often import from Sardinia or another part of Italy, and they support the Slow Food Foundation, which ensures more biodiversity. And they cook delicious dishes: it is not without reason that they are in the Italy Magazine top 10 of the best Italian restaurants in the Netherlands!

4-course surprise menu at Restaurant Insieme Amsterdam

We start with a glass of prosecco and dip a delicious fresh roll in olive oil from Sicily. This is already off to a good start! You can of course choose the tastiest dishes yourself, or opt for a 3- or 4-course surprise menu from the chef. Of course we opt for the latter! We each get a different dish, so that in reality we taste not 4 but 8 different dishes: really ideal for people like us who prefer to taste everything on the menu! And everything is really delicious: delicious flavors, often a special twist, beautifully presented plates. And be sure to get advice on which wines suit this surprise menu!

Perfectly cooked cod fillet with lentil-mussel salad

The first two dishes are immediately fantastic. We get a perfectly cooked cod fillet in a subtle fish sauce, on a lentil and mussel salad. Everything is beautifully balanced, the fish is wonderfully soft, the lentils have a nice bite: this dish makes us very happy! We also get slowly cooked lamb fillet on a creamy mashed potato with pieces of celeriac, in a hunter sauce with tomato and capers. A delicious autumnal and heart-warming dish!

Spaghettone with red shrimp tartare and bottarga

We then go to our First dishes. And here too we are served beautiful dishes! The cacio e peppe is very special here: delicious al dente spaghettone from Gragnano, a sauce made from pecorino romano that has matured in caves and tastes wonderfully soft. Topped with a tartare of Sicilian red shrimp, and tuna Bottarga is shaved onto our plates at the table for an extra taste kick. Do you know Bottarga? It is dried tuna roe bag that is salted and dried, and really gives a refined umami taste. What a special dish, just for this we will come back next time!

Homemade tortellini with fresh truffle filling

The homemade Tortellini is also really fantastic! Inside a soft filling with fresh truffle that drips out when you cut it open, along with fried chanterelles, foam of Parmesan cheese and olive shavings.

Grilled beef tenderloin with cherry liver mousse

Do you think things couldn’t be better? Then wait until the Second Courses! We eat the Frattau bread, a traditional dish from Sardinia. It’s lasagna made from carasau bread, tomato sauce and ricotta: the deep tomato sauce really gives a very rich taste, very tasty! We also get a salad of organic Swiss chard, grilled spring onions and a perfectly poached egg. We also eat a delicious grilled tenderloin in red wine sauce, which is made extra special by the cherry liver mousse that is served with it. Planed over it uncinate truffle and we once again have a delicious dish for these autumn days!

Sabayon with homemade ladyfingers

We end this fantastic dinner with a glass of dessert wine and two refined dishes. For all chocolate lovers: the homemade chocolate cookie with chocolate ice cream and hazelnut mousse is really everything you want! Or go for the sabayon with homemade ladyfingers, milk ice cream and red berries. Wow! We were immensely happy tonight. So be sure to treat yourself to an evening of Insieme!
