Burro E Salvia

This is our favorite pizza place - we come here regularly, even though it’s a bit of a walk for us. The dough is incredible, and the quality of the ingredients is outstanding. Everything is always fresh and absolutely delicious! The service and people are efficient and friendly. The restaurant itself is quite small, so it’s best to make a reservation if you’d like to dine in. It’s absolutely worth it - highly recommended!

Very great and delicious quality food! We really enjoyed the pizzas and the tiramisu. Service could have been a bit friendlier, but this is still an amazing spot for truly delicious pizzas in Rotterdam!

This is a really nice place to eat great Italian food. This is one of the very few places in Rotterdam where you can eat a very good carbonara and an amazing tiramisu. The ravioli with melanzane & ricotta are nice but I'd not order them again. Overall the food is really nice but the price is a bit too high (when compared with other good Italian restaurants around the city). The place itself is small but cozy and the service is quite fast.

Authentic Italian food, very polite waitress, and homey atmosphere. Not too big or too loud.

Great small restaurant with kind employees. Yet beside this the most amazing part of the dinner was the delicious Italian food. We had fresh pasta with simple but high quality ingredients. Definitly planning to come back.

A cozy Italian place in Katendrecht, a hidden gem for freshly made pasta. Burro e Salvia is a small Italian restaurant where you can find homemade fresh pasta and pizza. But do note that their pizzas are baked in an electric oven and it is a different style than the Neopolitan pizza. You can find a detailed explanation of this in one of the comments left by the owner, showing how much they care about their craft While they have a wide selection of pizza toppings, their pastas are especially great. I'd especially recommend their carbonara. They use good quality ingredients, often from Italy directly. The portions are generous and it is a great value for money. And make sure to end your meal with their homemade tiramisu, it is probably one of the best I've had recently in the Netherlands. The service is fast and our food arrived on time although it was busy on that day. Since the place is small, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you want to eat in.

I hope this doesn't come off as snobby, but here goes. 3 stars. We are real pizza lovers. Have read books about it, watched shows about it, etc. Based on the pictures and reviews of the place, we came in with high expectations. This looked like a place that makes great pizzas in an authentic neapolitan way. But. 1. There is very little place in the store. I was seated right next to the front door. But good pizza can make up for that. 2. We waited about 40 minutes for our pizza. 3. The pizzas are made in an electric oven instead of wood oven. This makes it less authentic, and doesn't crisp up the pizza as nicely, which made the crust a bit chewy. 4. The dough is said to be fermented for 50 hours, but it didn't have that nice sour "fermenty" taste. 5. The topping to crust ratio was very low. Almost half of the pizza was crust. This would have been ok if the crust itself tasted good, but see point 4. 6. The margerita pizza had too much cheese on it. On an american pizza, extra cheese is great, but on a neapolitan pizza with italian mozzarella, which melts differently, the result is that the pizza get too wet, and you end up with big chunks of chewing gum-like pieces of cheese in your mouth. So overall a medium experience. I definitely had worse pizzas in my life. Still, it was dissappointing. Thank you for listening to my ted talk. Edit: Changed it to 4 stars out of appreciation of the detailed explanation and expertise of the owner. Tastes differ, I agree.

Super friendly staff and food was great! Will definitely go back. Need to reserve!
