Dat Maps in the Amsterdam Nes with rightful one hidden gems is evident from the fact that they have been around since 2001. A hidden gem in the middle of the city center, which we would really like to remain hidden somewhere. On the other hand, Mappa deserves to be known by everyone. For when you want to have an extensive dinner, fill the entire table with antipasti to share and have a drink, or when you want to have a quick meal before catching a show in the Tabaco Theater. Sitting down alone for a (tray full of) sgroppino is also a good idea.

Chef Bob helms the kitchen and travels all over Italy for inspiration. Various Italian provinces, cities and techniques find their way onto the map. The menu at Mappa changes regularly, although certain classics always remain (such as the Margherita pizza, fortunately!). Also consider authentic dishes such as linguine agio e olio, but with chicken thighs, bruschetta with figs and goat cheese marinated in grappa or an Italian-style salmon tartare.

Because the menu is so small and nice, there is often something happening outside the menu, such as Chef Bob's vongole evenings: Vongole Galore. You can come in every Thursday evening for this!

Useful to know: at Mappa you can only pay by card and they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
