Tried the grilled tuna alla puttanesca - delicious meat and fresh side salad - worth a try! Friendly staff and service minded - however quite busy. My friend tried a pasta dish & he seemed satisfied - although he looked with jealous eyes on my tuna. Nice environment but a little noisy. Good variety of Italian dishes - probably not my last visit here. read more

1854 - Tuna alla puttanesca - Italian Near Me - Linköping, E

See all

Let's say it's pretty hard to find an open restaurant in Linköping on a Sunday (The boyfriend kept saying how different it was in Malmö where most of the places are open on Sundays) and this place being one of the few. It brags to serve good authentic Italian food and there are times when I still long for the food that I have had in Parma, so I had to try this place. The restaurant itself is located in Stora Torget (the big square) with a little bit of the fancy stuff (perfect for dinner date). The menu is quite big with the classic Italian primi, secondi, pasta menu and pizza menu. Since we weren't that hungry, we decided to share asparagus soup from the aperitif, carpaccio with truffle cheese for the primi and the house's carbonara special. Aperitif costs less than 100 SEK, primi is under 150 SEK pasta, pasta around 150-250 SEK and secondi or main course is up to 200-400 SEK. Pizza is around 150-250 SEK. It probably doesn't sound much for a big city restaurant, but maybe a little bit higher for a small town like Linköping. The asparagus soup with salmon was creamy and good and so was the carpaccio so I was already impressed with the food. We told our waitress that we wanted to share the carbonara and the dish came in two small plates with raw egg on each plate so it was perfect to share. I'm very impressed with the service (although the waiters and waitresses look like students - which they probably are since Linköping being a student town), they were very attentive, helpful and serviceminded. PS: Read on the side of the menu where they explained why the restaurant was named 1854 and why there were pictures of the three old Swedish guys on the restaurant windows :) read more

It looks Italian and almost tastes Italian but sorry it's not. It's just average in everything. We had a good wine recommendation though.

The pasta is really great here. I had the Carbonara and it was prepared the traditional way with the egg, yum! Had a bottle of the house red wine and it was very nice. read more
