Leonardo's Raviolibar Amsterdam: the tastiest pasta in the Pijp, made by the chef of Toscanini
Toscanini-chef Leonardo Pacenti vond het tijd om het heft in eigen handen te nemen. En zo geschiedde, want sinds een tijdje is Leonardo’s Raviolibar Amsterdam een feit aan het altijd gezellige Van der Helstplein. Hij noemt zijn nieuwe spot gekscherend een ‘veredelde Italiaanse snackbar‘, maar laat je daardoor niet misleiden: de betaalbare pasta is hier van hoge kwaliteit.

Sfeer en interieur bij Leonardo’s Raviolibar Amsterdam
Stap binnen bij Leonardo’s Raviolibar Amsterdam en je waant je heel even in authentiek Italië. Buiten word je begroet door een felblauwe gevel (érg zomers), binnen door een lange ruimte bekleed met warm hout, gebroken witte wanden en roodbruine accenten. En natuurlijk veel dozen Italiaanse wijn, en een hoop wijnglazen. Want Italianen houden van alles wat uit hun land komt, en dat wordt met trots tentoongesteld.
De Italiaanse sprezzatura hangt hier in de lucht – de kunst om iets moeilijks simpel te laten lijken. Niet te veel poespas, gewoon goed zonder al te veel extra’s.

Menu en gerechten bij Leonardo’s Raviolibar
Dan de gerechten van Leonardo’s Raviolibar. Natuurlijk speelt ravioli hier de hoofdrol. En die is flinterdun: Leonardo Pacenti – ook chef bij Toscanini – deed er jaren over om het recept voor het perfecte deeg te ontwikkelen. De ragù waarmee de pasta gevuld is, is dan weer naar oud familierecept.
Een portie bestaat uit vijf stuks ravioli, voor rond de €17. Natuurlijk is zo’n bordje leuk voor jezelf, maar nog leuker is om een groot deel van de kaart te bestellen en die te delen met je gezelschap.
Per seizoen wisselt het menu, maar er staan altijd vijf soorten ravioli op, een gevulde gnocchi en eens per twee maanden verandert de special. Die maakt Leonardo in samenwerking met andere chefs, en hoeft niet per se Italiaans te zijn. Eerder waren Scheepskameel en Lastage aan de beurt met bijzondere gerechten die afsteken tegen de ogenschijnlijk simpele ravioli.
En wil je toch een avond die bestaat uit meerdere gangen en nét iets extra’s, dan reserveer je een plek bij Toscanini in de Jordaan. Want ook daar staat chef Leonardo nog aan het roer.

MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was just scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴.
Then I thought: how nice would it be if we shared our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration?
Here's a safari in Malawi & Zimbabwe 🐆 in the books with a stopover in Nairobi.
I'm also going to Paris for a few nights by train with Manuel. So excited! I'm going to visit all the Parisian clichés and more with him ✌🏼.
Also on the wishlist: China (May holiday), midweek Athens & coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome☺️).
My intention for 2026 is also to plan more fun days/nights away in the Netherlands.
And I would love to go to Japan solo, but well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉.
Speaking off: happy new week!!
I'd love to daydream about your travel plans.

I have a nice garden and a nice summer day 🖤
March = the month in which my favourite Sunday markets start up again in full swing.
So my Sunday plans are quickly made: stroll along stalls, discover new food trucks and go home with a bag full of organic products or a good vintage find.
What I love about it? Every market has its own vibe.
• @feelgoodmarket for creativity and live music in Eindhoven
• Vintage heaven at @ijhallen
• @sundaymarket with creative makers and food trucks
• Curated vintage & design gems at @cabinetamsterdam
• @fairpricedvintage for scoring vintage clothing at many locations in the Netherlands
Have fun!

If you only go to one terrace in Amsterdam this weekend, make it @caferestaurant.meyer! What a great addition to the Amstelveld 😍.
Open from 10am, a very nice lunch menu, a wine list with a bottle of rosé for €20, but also olive ice cream with caviar (incredibly delicious!).
I'll be back soon to try the evening menu as well.
Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace!
And did I mention there's a playground next door?
Have a nice weekend 😘

My fav spot for freddo cappuccino in Amsterdam that transports me back to Greece.
Add a slice of spanakopita and you have the best breakfast to enjoy along the Amstel river.
My motto for the coming spring is to take more walks, so expect a lot of recs for coffee and other drinks to go in this new series! ☀️
Where should I go next?

The first weekend in Amsterdam that actually feels like spring? I can't wait to spend time on the terrace this weekend and just cycle around town and go to the market for some shopping in the sun :-) 🌞.
YES dears; I'm back from vacation and fully ready for Dutch spring, long lunches and spontaneous dates with my favorite city Amsterdam.
This weekend is packed with fun things to do! From an Italian market in West with @zicami_market, to the @tableware.amsterdam pop-up sale, treasure hunting at the @ijhallen and the @nocknock.art fair. There's something for every day!
And is it just me, or is the wave of new restaurant openings huge this year? In the full weekend guide I keep a weekly updated list of the new places to check out.

Note to self: always leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs. During my ski trip to Méribel, I popped into the local pharmacy just before leaving, and these are the beauty products I took home.
They've been tested extensively and are all more than YLBB-approved. Save them for your next trip to France (or your online beauty store).
Which souvenirs always make it back in your suitcase? I'm curious!

Looking for a stylish winter sports destination in France? Méribel is one of those places where everything is perfect: beautiful ski-in/ski-out hotels, excellent restaurants on and off the slopes, wonderful spas, and, if you're feeling energetic, après-ski.
I was there for a weekend without my little FAM, but I knew straight away: this is also perfect for the whole family thanks to the many green and blue slopes, so we will definitely go back!

Taking the train to your ski holiday? I say go for it! Door-to-door via Paris (Eurostar + TGV + bus) to Méribel in just over 10 hours. I found it very relaxing!
And of course it would be even more fun to add a night in Paris to it next time.
Save these tips if you're a winter sports lover like me 🫶🏼.

While I'm currently hopping from hotel to hotel and neighborhood to neighborhood in Bangkok (all in the name of “research” and new food hotspots for the new LITTLE BLACK BOOK 😉). Back home, Amsterdam is serving peak weekend vibes.
Think: Dim Sum Sunday in Noord, vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations across the city and a Vietnamese Tết feast at @yen.diningbar. Add market gems like the @le.temps.perdu.brocante pop-up in Oud-West and @themakermarket at De Hallen, and your weekend basically plans itself.
And yes, make time for ARTIS: there are now two elephant calves and they're too cute. 🐘🐘 Instant serotonin incoming, I promise!
