La Fucina is a place where we take you back to our origins, to our roots. We carefully select our products to ensure that the food that we serve is connected to the memories, smells and tastes that each of us carries with us.
La Fucina guarantees – REAL TRUE ITALIAN TASTE – approved by the Italian community in Amsterdam.
We strive to combine the tastes of the two nations! Italian flavors and processes that respect traditions but suited to the Dutch palate.
La fucina can be found at two locations where you can come and eat with us or buy our products to take them home with you: See our location at Javastraat.
Our motto is: we don’t sell food, but history.
CUSTOMER-LOCAL-ENVIRONMENT
We believe that the secret of a good restaurant lies not only in providing a high quality product at the right price, but also the connection that is formed with the customer through service that is committed to customer satisfaction.
Because we work solely with fresh ingredients we serve daily specials that change every day. Our servers will happily not only what special dishes are served that day, but also their ingredients and how they are cooked. We all have a passion for good Italian food and will tell you everything you want to know about special Italian cheeses, flour or what exactly a Cedrata is…
We find the greatest joy in our customers leaving the table happy and satisfied. In order to achieve this we center our organization on creativity and positivity.
As they say: Boredom kills Love… In order to ensure that our customers are never bored we try to constantly create products and services that reflect the tastes and desires of our customers.
We want our customers to find a place to feel good, where the threshold to have a short break is low, and a place where they feel at home and can explore and discover our genuine taste: GOOD – RIGHT – CLEAN.
La Fucina Javastraat was the first La Fucina restaurant we opened. It is situated in the trendy „Indische Buurt‟ or „Indies Neighborhood‟ in Amsterdam East. La Fucina not only has a cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant but also an excellent outside seating area.
