TOZI Amsterdam

TOZI Amsterdam is a Venetian-Italian restaurant and bar, located just a stone's throw away from Vondelpark in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. The name, which means "a group of friends" in Venetian slang, reflects the social concept focused on sharing Italian cicchetti—small dishes meant to be enjoyed together. The entirely Italian team delivers an authentic taste of Italy through a Venetian-inspired menu, making TOZI ideal for dining with friends, family gatherings, or relaxed meals during the week. The bar program is a highlight, featuring Italian bubbles, classic cocktails, a signature TOZI special, and a self-aged Negroni, complemented by an extensive wine list with remarkable Italian selections. Guests can unwind by the fireplace, enhancing the warm and cozy atmosphere of the venue. Recurring events include a monthly brunch featuring homemade bread, cicchetti, pasta, and tiramisù, as well as AperiTOZI happy hour and seasonal menus such as the truffle special. Head Chef Gaetano Verde leads the kitchen and brings extensive international fine dining experience with Michelin stars. His Venetian-inspired cuisine emphasizes bold flavors, authentic techniques, seasonal ingredients, and inventive interpretations of classic dishes, such as Rigatoni cacio e pepe served in a Parmigiana wheel.
