About La Tasca
La Tasca sits on Voldersgracht across the canal from LVJ, in a restored 17th-century canal house with a ground-floor terrace directly on the water. The restaurant opened in 2015 under chef-patron Marco Di Giorgio, who trained at Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia in Milan before settling in the Netherlands.
The menu is contemporary Italian with Mediterranean leanings. Antipasti run €12-18 (burrata with tomato confit, beef carpaccio, vitello tonnato), pasta €16-24 (hand-made taglioni with truffle in season, squid-ink spaghetti with lobster, cacio e pepe), mains €24-32 (osso buco, cod with Sicilian tomato, ribeye).
Wine is almost entirely Italian — 120 bottles across Piedmont, Tuscany, Sicily, and the Veneto, with a small Alto Adige section for whites. Pairings run €35 per person for three wines. The by-the-glass selection (around 25) is refreshed monthly.
The dining room seats 60 indoors across two levels and a further 24 on the canal terrace (April through October). TheFork user rating sits consistently above 9.0 — the highest-ranked Delft restaurant on the platform for two years running.
Why It's Perfect for First Date
La Tasca is the Delft first-date and birthday choice for diners who want contemporary rather than traditional. The canal terrace at dusk is the best two-top environment in the old town; the €40-60 price point means the dinner doesn't over-commit for a first meeting; and the Italian-Dutch crossover has broad appeal for birthday parties of mixed dietary preferences.
