Osteria Vicini

My first time here and Not disappointed at all. Went to celebrate my daughter's graduation and we all loved the place. The food was good, service superb. It's a place to go to.

Great place to enjoy traditional Italian dishes. Waiters are friendly. Price / quality is good

Osteria Vicini is one of the better Italian restaurants in Rotterdam. Situated in Kralingen, it has a wonderful open dining space with a great atmosphere where you can enjoy a nice pizza or pasta with a drink. The service wasn’t that quick, but if you want to carve out some time with friends or family, this is a good pick!

The place has an industrial look with beton and metal constructions. It's softened up by the decor and the myriad of candles which gives it a cozy feeling. Modern and trendy. It's suitable.both for groups and for couples. The food is an "adjusted" Italian food. The octopus was cooked well, not rubbery just a tad over but not overcooked. However, the octopus bruschetta was overcomplicated, with the octopus sitting on a burrata and garnished with pesto sauce. Same for the caponata: nice cutting of the veggies but over the top with the addition of burrata and arugula. The gnocchi: I asked if they were made in house and in spite of the positive answer I have my doubt: they were quite tough, I suspect that even if made on site they had been frozen. The taleggio accompanying the sauce was nowhere to be found. The pizza with radicchio and taleggio would have been fine, had it not been for the mountain of arugula and balsamic vinegar. All in all, it's an ok experience: I would suggest not overcomplicating things in the attempt to be fancy. Italian cuisine is simple is nature as its strenght lies in the excellency of the ingredients. Less is more.

Delicious Chicken Sandwich. The chicken is well-marinated and grilled to give extra aroma. Served on a rustic brown bread with salad. Good combination. The restaurant is big with different vibes. *A male staff came in the Ladies to the private access door is strange.

Definitely one of my favorites restaurant in Rotterdam, in every aspect, it’s just perfect. The food, the atmosphere and the design. The staff are so friendly and helpful, Perfect for grabbing drinks with a friend, fancy lunch or dinner 👌

Nice place to go to, the staff is nice and quick. The food is good. Nere the Park (Kralingse Bos)

Wonderful restaurant. We went there in september as a group, and it was 3rd time for me. Everything from the Italian Table menu was delicious. The staff was very flexible and adapted to all our changes in number of people and hour we were coming. The place is very nice and cosy, great ambiance.
