With a menu of comforting but light Italian fare, calisto is sure to be soon cemented in the hearts of Amsterdammers. And visitors too, naturally. Housed in a monumental 17th-century building in the heart of De Jordaan, this restaurant is another absolute smasher from Bob Nagel (of Binnenvisser and Twee Prinsen) and his team.

These days, most coffee spots start to feel the same, but thankfully not Toki. The killer coffee & terrazzo everything make this place totally Instagrammable. But luckily style & substance go hand-in-hand at Toki. The food, dreamed up by plant-based culinary artist Chef NANA, is excellent, as are the pastries. Bring your laptop or a book & settle in for the day.

Too young. Too young! The owners of Troppo Giovane (“too young”, in Italian) declared. The team at this super cool yet very friendly wine shop wants to encourage drinkers to move away from the newness that’s popular in many wine stores and embrace true age-worthy bottles. Their selection focuses mostly on Italian and French producers, but they’ve also got a nice, tight selection of orange wines, sake, mezcal and cider.
