Through our pasta, we share the essence of Italy — warm, simple, and full of joy. A place to connect and linger.
“Butta la Pasta” is a familiar Italian phrase that literally means “throw in the pasta.” It’s what someone (typically mamma or nonna) might call out from the kitchen when the sauce is ready and it’s time to cook the pasta—a casual, homey cue that the meal is about to begin. It captures the spirit of our concept: warm, unpretentious, and grounded in the joy of sharing good food.
CRAFTED BY HANDS
Pasta is the heart of the bar, and craftsmanship is its language. Every shape, every sauce, every bruschetta carries the touch of human hands. It’s about kneading, rolling, dusting, tossing. Less technology, more human gesture.
TRUE TO THE TABLE
No gimmicks, no sterile reinterpretations: Butta la Pasta celebrates Italian cooking as it really is. Every dish is rooted in honest ingredients, regional recipes, and deep respect for tradition. Authentic without being nostalgic, served with courage and flavor.
WELCOMING LIKE HOME
In Italy, putting water onto boil is the purest gesture of hospitality, it means the door isopen and there’s always room for one more plate. Butta la Pasta brings that spirit to Amsterdam: a place to sit without ceremony, share generous dishes, and feel part of something familiar, even far fromhome.
PLAYFULLY ITALIAN
Serious about food, never about form.
There’s wit in the name, in the graphic details, inthe way the story is told. Italian here isn’t postcard cliché, but direct, spirited, and joyful. Because pasta isalso play, conviviality, and the freedom to geta little sauce on your hands.
