Cinema Paradiso
What the experts agree on
Former moviehouse turned reliably fashionable Italian spot in Jordaan. Expect lively chaos, solid pasta and pizza around €12, and excellent Sgroppinos—just accept you'll need to raise your voice.
“This former art-house cinema is now a designer eatery that has lost a bit of its luster over the years—though regulars swear by their refreshing Sgroppinos (Italian cocktails) in the summer.”
– Fodor's

Rough Guide "Slick place covering all the Italian classics with gusto. It’s in a former moviehouse and very popular, so you may have to shout to be heard. Pasta and pizzas from €12."
