Caffè Toscanini, the famous restaurant on Lindengracht in Amsterdam: maybe you have eaten there once? It has been packed every day for over 40 years because of its quality and good atmosphere.

The story started with Maud Moody, who fell in love with an Italian. He could not cook, but knew all about Italian cuisine. With his instructions, Maud started preparing food according to grandmother's recipe. The rest is history. Since 1999, headstrong chef Leonardo Pacenti has been ruling the kitchen, a South African with an Italian father. Toscanini now weathers other than the delicious smells of food and drink from the restaurant. Guests are asked to limit perfume use when booking so that the smell does not ruin the dinner. Such a request is already common at many wine tastings. A shame to know your nose misled by your neighbour's aromas! By the way, Toscanini's almost entirely Italian wine list features hidden gems from small producers. You can also buy some of the wines there (online). RESTAURANTTOSCANINI.CO.UK
