Prior to our trip to amsterdam we had picked out bussia as a special birthday treat and it didnt dissappoint. from the sublime haddock, apple and pistachio starter to the delicious strawberry, basil and balsamic desert i could not find fault with either food or ambience. a genuine treasure nestled on the outer canals of amsterdam.

It was a wonderful evening dining at Bussia. The meals are excellent and the service is great. It is good to be there as a couple, also with the family and with friends. It is also wonderful for special occasions.

This was our best meal in Amsterdam, a real treat. Expensive, but worth every euro. The service was a perfect balance between friendliness and efficiency, only surpassed by the food. The flavours, quality and presentation of all our dishes could not be bettered. Highlights were my husband's fish "catch of the day" which was excellent and my pudding of chocolate... More

We had a wonderful meal here last weekend, really interesting, tasty food and presented so well. Our waiter was very accommodating and helpful when guiding one of our pregnant diners through the menu. Would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Very attentive service and equally tasty dishes. We opted for the 6 course menu, which was a delight. The restaurant also caters very well for gluten free.

Our best meal in Amsterdam. Real attention to detail and to authentic Italain cuisine. It is quite expensive, compared to other choices nearby, but you are paying for good cooking and lots of very attentive waiting staff who are also knowlegeable. Would recommend but you need to keep on piste with their fixed menus because a la carte you could... More

Located on a side street off of the Prisengracht canal in the Jordaan district, Bussia offers fine dining of Northern Italian Cuisine with a decisively Dutch twist. We appreciate the diverse offerings and ever improving dining scene in Amsterdam and Bussia does not disappoint. Open for both lunch and dinner, Bussia is usually quite busy and reservations are strongly recommended.... More

Excellent Italian - simple but refined dishes superbly prepared. Focused menu with very good value for lunch. Perfectly sized portions and quite light dishes. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Interesting and well chosen wine list. Went with our two year old girl for lunch - totally accommodating and as a final specially made figure ice cream for her. Just a perfect... More

The tasting menu accompanied by comments from Johann was a revelation. He found the perfect wine for us, and we are fussy! The food was wonderful and perfectly presented
