Full description

Caldi e freddi is an unassuming Italian takeaway in Amsterdam-Centrum where the menu spans sandwiches, pizza, pasta, meatballs, coffee and cannoli. Reviewers mention a lunchtime line that moves quickly thanks to an efficient process, and name sandwiches like the Gubbio with pesto as a favourite over the drier Cortona.

Reviews

We ordered the Cortona and the Gubbio, the Gubbio was better it had pesto on it and was more flavourful and the Cortana was fine just a bit dry. Theyre pretty good for their price, a standard sandwich for a quick lunch, although there is a line but it moves quickly theres lots of staff making the sandwiches
