Cecconi’s Amsterdam

Food was so-so. Many things not available (including gluten free pasta which was advertised and the reason we came). Service was inconsistent. Not terrible but definitely not up to expectation.

Today I had the pleasure of eating at Cecconi's, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. As someone who has to eat gluten-free, it was a huge relief to find that this restaurant not only offers many gluten-free options, but is also willing to adapt dishes. That shows that they really think along with their guests, and I really appreciate that. The eggplant with cheese was definitely a highlight and, in my opinion, a dish that should always remain on the menu. In addition, I enjoyed the burrata with gluten-free bread, which was a real treat. And the fact that they also offer gluten-free pasta is great! The taste of the pasta was fantastic, but as a tip I would like to say that a little more sauce would make it even better. It was a bit on the dry side, but the taste made up for it. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They thought along well and made me feel welcome and comfortable. One point for improvement is the choice of desserts. There was only one gluten-free option available, and unfortunately it was disappointing. The taste was stale and unpleasant, probably due to the eggs. It would be recommended to put something like panna cotta on the menu, a deliciously fresh dessert that is also gluten-free. That would really complete the offer. I'm not someone who is easily completely satisfied, but Cecconi's certainly impressed me. The quality of the food, the attention to dietary requirements and the hospitality of the staff make this restaurant highly recommended. With a few minor adjustments such as a little more sauce on the pasta and a better gluten-free dessert offering, it would be perfect for me.
