Ventuno Skylounge Amsterdam: Where Old-School Glamour Meets Skyline Nights
Hidden high above Amsterdam East, Ventuno Skylounge Amsterdam is not just another rooftop restaurant — it’s an experience. Perched on the 21st floor of Amstelvlietstraat, this new hotspot fuses classic Italian dining with the vibrant buzz of a New York dinner club. Add a 360-degree city view, and you have a place where an ordinary evening turns into an unforgettable night.
From Dinner to Downtown Nightlife — All in One Place
Ventuno means “21” in Italian, nodding to both its floor number and its ever-changing energy. What starts as an elegant dinner transforms as the night unfolds. Expect DJs, live jazz ensembles, dancers, and spontaneous applause from velvet booths tucked in cosy corners. Think rooftop party vibes with a Manhattan twist — only here, your backdrop is the Amstel and the Zuidas skyline.
An Ode to Old-School Italian-American Style
Inspired by early 20th-century Italian-American eateries, Ventuno Skylounge Amsterdam exudes timeless glamour. Plush red velvet benches, Art Deco lights, and an impressive bar set the mood. Yet it never feels old-fashioned — modern touches by Amsterdam’s Forsite Creative make nostalgia feel fresh. Little details matter here, from mirrored walls that echo New York’s club culture to a sommelier who remembers your name after two visits.
The menu? Classic Italian done right — with an international edge. No gimmicks, just recognisable dishes made to perfection. Think lemon crisp calamari that’s both crunchy and zesty, rich truffle steak tartare, generous lobster spaghetti, and a Bistecca alla Fiorentina worth every bite.
The City as Your Stage
What makes Ventuno Skylounge Amsterdam stand out is how easily one night feels like several. You might come for the pasta, but you’ll stay for the atmosphere. At the bar, conversations flow as a saxophonist’s tune melts into a DJ’s set. Dance if you want to — or just soak up the mood. It all unfolds naturally, with Amsterdam’s skyline slowly turning midnight blue around you.
A Versatile Venue for Every Occasion
Ventuno isn’t just for dinner and dancing. By day, it transforms into a stunning space for private events, brand launches, or exclusive business dinners. Companies love it for its balance of intimacy and wow factor. The acoustics work, the lighting is perfect, and even the most seasoned boardroom guests can’t resist that view.
Intimate, Elevated, Unforgettable
Despite its height, Ventuno never feels distant. The staff are attentive without being over-familiar, the music energises without overpowering, and the atmosphere is chic without being stiff. This isn’t dining on a pedestal — it’s about rising above the everyday in the most natural way possible.
No two nights at Ventuno are ever the same. One week, you’ll find yourself swaying to acoustic bossa nova. The next, you’ll toast the weekend at a high-energy club night with glittering dresses and signature cocktails. The line-up changes weekly, but the magic — and the view — stay the same.
So whether you’re planning a first date, a special celebration, or you simply want to leave the city behind for an evening, Ventuno Skylounge Amsterdam is where you’ll forget time exists. And as the lift doors close behind you at the end of the night, one thing’s certain — you’ll be back.
