About Toscanini
Toscanini was founded by Maud Moody in 1985 in a small street in the Amsterdam neighbourhood the Jordaan. In 1990 the restaurant moved to its current location on the Lindengracht.
In 1999 Leonardo Pacenti, born in South-Africa with a Italian father, became chef-owner. Leonardo’s cooking is intuitive and passionate, with whatever ingredients he has at his disposal.
Susan van der Sande and Bobby Oudshoorn are both host and sommelier.
We use recipes from different Italian regions, often executed in the classic way, but also often with our own “twist”.
Toscanini’s wine list is, apart from champagnes, completely Italian, with many hidden pearls of small producers.

In our Deli next door we have a lot of beautiful Italian products (think of pasta sauces and fresh ravioli to cook at home). Check out Toscanini Deli.
A presto!
