You will find Zeppos in the picturesque alley 'Gebed Zonder End', located between the Nes, the Oudezijds Voorburgwal and the Grimburgwal. A hidden gem in the oldest part of Amsterdam, 100 meters walking distance from metro Rokin, exit Spui. Zeppos is a holiday in our own country, partly due to its southern appearance. You imagine yourself in Italy or Spain when you walk into the Prayer!

“Momenti”, located on the Herenstraat, one of the most elegant streets in the very city center of Amsterdam, is the latest creation of Marco Boldrini, Federico Galli and Marco Lupi. The latter, previous chef of “La Maschera”, is now also part of the management team for both restaurants.
“Momenti” is the next evolution of a successful journey of 3 Italian guys who, after completing professional culinary training in Italy, together pursue their dream of sharing the real Italian food -and wine culture in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.
Playing off the synergy that was established at “La Maschera del Lillotatini”, the 3 owners combine their skills to offer their guests a unique culinary experience at “Momenti”. The technical knowledge of chef Marco Lupi, the organizational skills of Federico Galli and the expertise of sommelier Marco Boldrini, ensure an excellent gastronomic experience.
