About us

We cook with what the market has to offer that morning. The menu is short because we make everything ourselves — the ragù is on the stove for five hours and the tagliatelle is made at seven in the morning.

No rush, no fuss. But the best carbonara in town, if we say so ourselves.

What guests say

The carbonara without cream, exactly as it should be. And they didn't ask once if it tasted good, because you could tell from their faces they already knew.

We sat there for three hours and nobody rushed us. That is rarer in the city than good pasta.

Asked for a bottle under thirty euros and got a two-minute story. We ordered that wine at home.

What we work with

Before you come

Can we drop by without a reservation?

Often yes. We keep a few tables free every evening, and you can always sit at the bar. For a group of six or more, calling is the safest option.

Do you have options for vegetarians?

At least three dishes every evening, and the pasta can almost always be made without meat. Mention it when ordering, and the kitchen will accommodate.

Can you accommodate an allergy?

Yes. Tell us at the table and not in a comment field: then the chef knows for sure. We have a separate workspace for nuts and gluten.

Is there parking available?

Not at the door. The garage under Waagplein is a two-minute walk and much cheaper after 18:00.
