De kleinste keuken met de grootste smaak

Ponte Arcari is a tiny caffe ristorante at Herengracht 534, Amsterdam. The smallest kitchen with the largest taste. A reservation is a good idea, but it is worth the wait for one of the few tables. The food is excellent with great service and a wonderful atmosphere.
