Review Summary
Cecconi’s Amsterdam receives consistent praise—around 70% of reviews—for its elegant atmosphere, live jazz music, beautiful interiors, and canal-side location, making it popular for dates and group celebrations. Roughly 60% of diners highlight professional, friendly, and attentive service, mentioning standout staff like Gabriel and Zoe, though about 25% encountered slow, inattentive, or even rude staff and issues like rushed service or lack of table accommodation. The food impresses about 65% of guests, with popular mentions for starters (burrata, ricotta, meatballs), the branzino, Tagliatelle Bolognese, aubergine parmigiana, and desserts, but 30% mention uneven kitchen consistency, small portions, and bland or poorly executed pastas and risottos. Some guests found prices high for the quality and portions, and about 10% specifically noted long wait times or being disappointed by cold or unavailable dishes. Most agree the ambiance and setting remain a major draw, even if experiences with food and service can vary. Reservations are recommended, and larger groups may face seating policy challenges.
