La Perla Pizza has been one of my go-to spots since moving to Amsterdam about ten years ago. At La Perla they directly import authentic ingredients from Italy a few times each week including their buffalo mozzarella, their prosciutto and even their olive oil. This guarantees the ingredients are always fresh and taste like Italy. The […]

Looking for an unusual day trip from Amsterdam? Why not Naarden! Naarden is a 17th century fortified town about 30 miles east of Amsterdam.

Sugo Pizza is a sleek unassuming pizza al taglio shop in Amsterdam’s De Pijp neighborhood. In case you’re unfamiliar with “al taglio”, it means by the slice. Romans eat pizza like this morning, noon and night and I have to admit, it’s one of my favorite things about the city! This is the one and only Roman […]
Van Stepele Koekmakerij genuinely makes the best cookies in Amsterdam. And arguably the best chocolate cookies in Europe if not the world. Just ask the locals! Or the insane line of tourists that gather every Saturday and Sunday. Van Stepele cookies are dark, rich, indulgent and addictive. Like a small chocolate ball of heaven. The […]
A real blogger would’ve been at the opening of the new and anticipated Moco Amsterdam a month and a half ago, but let’s be honest, I’ve been busy. Doing what you ask? I don’t know? Drinking excessive amounts of Heineken in Vondelpark and binge watching Mindy Project season four on Hulu, perhaps. Today, I finally made the […]
