The Italian Bistro Project

What shall I say about the fairly new place in town? The Italian Bistro Project is authentic: an Italian couple moved around Europe to make Amsterdam their home and the place to share their delicacies. Menu is small and contains just a few sandwiches and meals, but the food is real Italian. The couple is also super friendly and takes time to proudly present what is offered.
The reason why my rating is only 3 stars is the following. First of all it takes quite long to get the order. I was initially the only customer and the first to order, but still it took 20 minutes for 3 sandwiches. Yes, a lot of love and time was put in it. But 20 minutes for a sandwich to go is too long. Your sandwich is prepared in the kitchen in the back, so be prepared to see the chefs disappear for minutes and just trust they will be back. Secondly, the place looks like they moved in yesterday. When I asked how long ago they moved in, they answered: «5 months ago!!» Wow, either they have been REALLY busy, or the focus is REALLY on the food. The nice thing about Italian places usually is the nice atmosphere and decorations, which this place, according to my taste, lacks. Lastly, the price is a bit high.
If you just look for a place to get a nice bread or meal to take away and have some patience, try this out. For me for now it will be 3 stars, but I will come back to order other food and reconsider.
