Rosso Pizza Bar | Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar Amsterdam

Welcome to Rosso Pizza Bar, where handmade pizza meets authentic Italian conviviality in the heart of the city.

We have created a vibrant space to gather, eat, and unwind, serving everything from a light business lunch to a late-night drink.

Our name, Italian for “red,” is the common thread that ties your entire experience together: from the rich tomato sauce on our artisanal pizzas to the deep, inviting hues of a classic Negroni.

Whether you are looking for a casual meal or a high-end restaurant in Amsterdam, Rosso is the place where moments are made.

Expert Catering and Corporate Events in the Zuidas

At Rosso, we specialize in catering for the professional community and offer a sophisticated environment for corporate gatherings. Our venue is perfectly equipped for large groups, featuring a spacious interior that comfortably accommodates team lunches for up to 50 guests.

For those who prefer an outdoor setting, our sun-filled terrace offers seating for 30 people, making it an ideal choice for summer business events or team-building dinners. We pride ourselves on providing a seamless service that allows you to focus on your colleagues while we handle the hospitality.

Authentic Italian Flavors and Premium Takeaway

As a dedicated Italian restaurant, we believe that exceptional flavor starts with superior sourcing. Beyond the classic Margherita, our menu features the "On Fire" pizza: a unique creation topped with spicy sausage paste and Sichuan pepper for a bold, earthy kick. We also offer popular vegan options that can be customized with premium anchovies sourced from artisanal Southern Italian suppliers. If you can't step away from the office, our full menu is available for takeaway, bringing the best of our kitchen directly to your desk or home.

The Secret to a Perfect Lunch: Our Signature Light Dough

What truly sets us apart is our approach to dough, designed specifically so you can enjoy a full meal and return to work feeling light and energized.

Every pizza begins with a signature dough that is handmade daily and fermented with care using a unique blend of organic ancient grains traditionally milled in Northern Italy. This specialized technique results in a crust that is flavorful and crispy yet incredibly easy to digest.

It is the perfect base for our artisanal toppings and the reason why our lunch experience is a favorite for busy professionals.

Amsterdam’s Signature Aperitivo Lounge

When the workday ends, Rosso transforms into the city’s premier social hub for an authentic Italian "borrel."

Our bar program is defined by craftsmanship. Our cocktails are meticulously prepared, such as our signature Negroni which is aged in a clay pot for two days to achieve a smoother, sweeter profile. We also prioritize authenticity in our Spritzers by using Rinomato bitters instead of standard commercial brands. Pair these drinks with our unique pizza-dough sandwiches to experience the only true Italian aperitivo in Amsterdam.
