Benvenuti

A little corner of Italy on the Damrak

Marco Polo opened in 1985 and has cooked Italian food here for forty years. A lot of our recipes are family ones, and we still make them the way we were taught.

Our chefs cook with good ingredients, many of them brought straight from Italy, a two-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal.
