così Si mangia in Italia

Fresh pasta. Real Italian cooking in Amsterdam Zuid

Welcome to Butta la Pasta: Your Italian Restaurant & Pasta Bar

"Butta la Pasta" means throw in the pasta. This is the call from the kitchen when the sauce is ready and the meal is about to begin.
It captures the spirit of our concept: warm, unpretentious, and grounded in the joy of sharing good food.

We are a fresh pasta restaurant and wine bar.
Come for lunch, stop in for an aperitivo, stay for dinner, or just a coffee and something sweet at our Italian restaurant.

Three plates of food: a seafood dish with shrimp on a bed of vegetables, a mixed greens salad with cheese, and a plate of spaghetti with sauce and herbs. There is a fork with a napkin and a small candle on a wooden table.

LUNCH: 12:00-15:00 at our restaurant in Amsterdam

Light, honest, and made to linger over. Our lunch menu features seasonal couscous, beef tartare, and a selection of our signature pasta dishes. It is the kind of midday meal that makes going back to work feel optional. Whether you are popping in for a quick coffee or a seated meal, we offer a relaxed restaurant experience for your afternoon break in Amsterdam.

APERITIVI — 15:00 to 17:00 at the wine bar

The Italian art of slowing down. Drop in for a spritz, a glass of wine, or a coffee, paired with small bites — supplì, Italian bitterballen, and our homemade chips — alongside dessert. The in-between hour, done properly.

Our wine bar atmosphere is the perfect setting to enjoy artisanal cocktails and light bites before the evening begins.

DINNER — 17:00 to 22:00 at the pasta restaurant

When the evening begins, pasta takes centre stage. Handmade, generous, and rooted in Italian tradition. Dinner at our pasta restaurant is exactly what it should be. Warm, unhurried, and always worth staying for.

As a dedicated Italian restaurant, we ensure every plate reflects the true flavors of Italy.
