Good Italian Restaurant located in the Gamla Stan Old Town area of Stockholm. We were seated right away on a Sunday evening. Staff was courteous and spoke English. They have vegetarian options and gluten free pizza and pasta as well. Price was like a US standard Italian restaurant, around $90 for three dishes and two drinks, one alcoholic and one not. This price also included the tip. Great Ambiance like you are in Florence read more

Beautiful restaurant almost one block away from the Galma Stan. We went there without reservation and after few minutes the host located a table for us. The waiter was polite and very friendly, the food, fabulous and the room very attractively decorated. The portions are not enormous, but enough to share in couple. The food was delicious, fresh, well presented and served in a timely manner. The prices were also very good and reasonable. Only recommendation would be that the room was a bit overcrowded. It felt that we were too close to the couple next to us, almost like if we were sitting together. Strongly recommended. read more

I'd give this a solid 3. It is a nice space and the staff is nice. I would skip the pizza as it isn't very good and I'm being nice.

Excellent food. I had funghi pizza and my daughter tried linguine al scampi, both dishes were delicious. They brought garlic bread as a starter which frankly I didn't like it much. We liked ambiance also. read more

Short wait- we just happened to stumble across this hidden gem. It was very busy. Accommodating service. Quick for how busy it was. Italian salad 9/10- lots of textures, fresh vegetables, needed more seasoning but good with salt and pepper. Love the use of mozzarella di buffalo. Pasta carbonara 8/10 - a little greasy but great flavor. Garlic bread 10/10. Tiramisu 7/10- subtle, but rich creamy flavor. Portion was a little small for the price, but the perfect size for after a large meal. Be sure to enjoy it with Prosecco. Great for special occasions or date night. read more

We ended up here as the last resort since the restaurant we planned on going was booked for hours and this seemed like one of the few decent alternatives in the area. We got seated at a table quickly but the service was S-L-O-W after that. It took at least a good 10 minutes before they came to take our order. If we had had better restaurant options as late in the evening as it was, we would probably gone elsewhere. Fortunately the quality of their food more than made up for the slow service. We just started our with garlic bread as the appetizer. It was nicely toasted and had a generous spread of garlic butter and it had very good flavor. I wasn't sure whether to go with the lamb or reindeer, the waitress recommended the reindeer. She didn't ask how I wanted it prepared but it was cooked perfectly somewhere around medium. It was served with some kind of blueberry sauce which rounded out the flavors nicely. It was very delicious! By far one of the best meals I've had in a while. If you can go during off hours or don't mind slow service, their food makes it definitely worth it. read more

Agaton - Reindeer loin - Italian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

In The Land Of The Blind...The One Eyed Man Is King I've never had a meal at Agaton, but they did a very important thing worthy of mention. My wife and I were wandering around the Old Town part of Stockholm. It's an area filled with handsome historic buildings, gift shops and boutiques, cafes and hordes of people. I was fighting a cold and needed to use the restroom. Almost every restaurant limits their facilities to customers...which is understandable in such a popular area. However, after trying a few fast food places with no luck, I walked into Agaton and asked a guy who seemed to be in charge if I could have access. He said "no problem. We've got 2. Take your pick". This might seem like no big deal, but when nature knocks with a vengeance and everyone else shuts the door, I'd shake the hand of the stranger with a smile. One side note: Though I was just passing through, Agaton is very attractive, both inside and out. Plus...and this I can personally confirm...the restrooms are clean, well-equipped and even supplied paper towels (as opposed to the air dryers in most restaurants). So I've got give at least 4 stars to Agaton despite not having a chance to try their food. read more

What a nice place to eat lunch or dinner while strolling the streets of Old Town in Gamla Stan. We were drawn into this place by the friendly and welcoming host. We were seated immediately near an open window. Awesome place to sit, people watch while dining. Waiter took our order and food came quickly after that. I ordered meatballs and a side salad, my son had the pizza which he polished off! My hubby ordered the steak with pasta dish. We all were happy with our selections. Everything was yummy!! Would recommend this place while visiting the Old Town in Stockholm. read more

My first visit to this restaurant I was very disappointing in the service, or lack there of. The greeter at the door was friendly and the only one in the whole place who was. The food was delicious and reasonable for Stockholm. My sister had pizza that had a wonderful thin crust and a generous amount of toppings. I had baked salmon with potatoes. The atmosphere was decorated very old italian with red plaid tablecloths and silver candelabras. Since the food was so good. I took my boyfriend and friend visiting from out if town here for lunch yesterday. She wanted traditional Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce, and she claims it was perfection! I had the cod with lobster and saffron sauce. I also think it was perfect! It was such a wonderful meal for everyone. The best part, the bill was not even so bad. Maybe I caught the staff on a rough day the first time. Yesterday our waiter was friendly, helpful and fast. read more

Food was amazing, but the service was absolutely horrific. We came in with a large group at 9:30pm and were told they could still sear us comfortably and order dinner although the kitchen closed at 10. Okay fine, we thought that would be fine. However, they made us rush to order our entrees, and when one of my friends orders was messed up, they refused to change it and claimed "the chef already left." It was 10:02. There is no way. When asked if she could just get a simple pasta dish, no avail. Even just some bread and butter? They were "out" of bread. Who runs out of bread??? Despite this place being the best tasting food I had in all of Stockholm during my visit, I won't be back based on the service. Don't seat people and assure them it will all be okay unless you really know you can accommodate their needs. read more

Well, it is OK for a quick dinner if you don't want anything fancy. Greeter at the door was very friendly, but I must agree with writer who was disappointed at first visit. Meaning (lack of) service. We didn't have to wait for the pizzas but staff wasn't very attentive. My main problem is that they charge you SEK 55 (!!! Yep !!!) for a pitcher of fizzy tap water. You heard me, tap wayer. On the menu they make it sound like it is bottled but take it from me it is nothing but plain "Soda Stream water" made by themselves just before serving... I have no problems with tap water, I drink it all the time and prefer it to bottled, but not at a price close to bottled water at a Michelin-restaurant. I could go here again, for as I said easy dinner, but next time I'll choose something else to drink. They accept AMEX. read more

Great setting and superb service. Have never had a bad meal here (6 years) and get a pizza and ask them to fold it for you! Solid wine and beer selection. Oh, make sure you leave room for desert! Great restaurant any time of the year read more

Lunch on our arrival to Stockholm, Agaton splits the feel of a small pizza joint and bar. The staff is friendly and will literally come out to the streets to try and bring you in. We were ok with the friendly sell, so agreed. There were 6 of us, but none extremely hungry, so we decided to split 3 pizzas. They let us all enjoy the salad bar, which was average but nice to included for all. The Don Jimmy was decent, with a fair portion of meat. The Diavola was good, but a bit of a let down as it wasn't very spicy. We also got the Primavera, which looked decent, but I didn't get a slice to judge. We also asked the waiter for local beer recommendations and he provided two in bottles. We each got one (of each) and they were good. Wish I wrote down the name! Overall, a solid but not memorable experience. I'm sure you could search out better options, but you also won't be extremely disappointed if you decide to test Agaton. read more

4 Stars is actually very generous rating but I think Agaton sort of deserves it. Lol Unfortunately we had the best Swedish Meatballs our first night in Stockholm. This one was ok. Nothing to rave about but the service was excellent. Very friendly and very attentive. 2 of us ordered Swedish meatballs with pasta, one lasagna and one other pasta dish. We all "liked" our dishes but like I said, the service was excellent and very friendly. read more

I liked the atmosphere, definitely Northern European. Friendly service and people. Good menu, decent wine and beer list. The Swedish meatballs caught our attention from outside and they were very, very good. Also had the "Nordica" pizza with reindeer and arugula. Very nice. Maybe a little bit pricey for what it was, but still very pleased. I'd recommend. read more

So, I really don't want to ever give one star BUT, I really need to for this one. So I have been in Stockholm for almost a week and a half now for work, and over the weekend I had an evening where I was the only one in town, so I opted to go out to dinner alone. I was just strolling down the Old Town streets where the second half of my stay has been, and noticed this spot had several open tables and figured I'd try it out (without even yelping it which I always do!). Anyways, when I walked in I was greeted by a hostess/server/manager (not really sure), and was asked how many people were in my party. I told him it was just me and he immediately was like - 'oh sorry, we are booked for the evening, good luck.' And I was SO insulted by that that it really ruined my night. There was a couple right behind me, with NO reservations who was sat, because I lingered for a moment to see what would happen. I didn't think it was worth going back to this guy and confronting him because it's not like I would have sat down even if they would have offered. To me it's just super rude to deny any sort of person, whether you are eating alone or whatever reason that they will turn you away. So, this really wasn't a review obviously on the food and dining experience, simply the horrible treatment for being by myself for an evening. read more

We dropped in here on spec when we were wandering around the Old Town on our first day. We chose it because it was slightly off the beaten track and not as full of beer-swilling tourists as many of the other restaurants in the area ! It was very good. They were very welcoming and the atmosphere and ambience was very nice: colourfully decorated, rustic charm, not too noisy and a good place to people-watch the alley running past (if you get a window table). Food was very straightforward and tasty. We shared a plate of delicious antipasti, my wife had a Four Seasons pizza and I had one with beef on it which was delicious. We didn't have pudding but indulged in a glass of the house white wine which was fine. Service was a little slow for a half-full restaurant, but perfectly OK if you aren't in a hurry. The bill was very reasonable for Sweden - about SEK750. I can recommend Agaton as a good, straightforward and reliable restaurant. read more

We chose this place as a last dinner venue, and it was perfect. Though it may have been a bit over our budget, the food was so delicious, the staff was very nice and accommodating, and the atmosphere was very clean and romantic. I got the roasted deer sirloin (recommend getting it medium rare), and my girlfriend got the pasta agaton. Both were really good. For dessert, we got the pannacotta and shared a caffe latte. I would recommend this dessert for people who want something that isn't too sweet. The only downside was that it took forever for us to be given menus, though it looked like we were waiting for 2 more guests. Even then, getting a drink or a glass of water took a couple more minutes. I had to constantly search for my waitress, and stare at her until we made eye contact. Otherwise, our experience was a very good one, and we're glad to have ended our trip with this restaurant. read more

Ask for the Swedish meatballs meal; not on the menu. Not a "diet" meal, but yummy!!! We were not expecting much given it seemed very touristy; we were just hungry, but it was a pleasant surprise. Good experience! read more

Agaton - Swedish Meatballs- not on menu- you have to ask! - Italian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Came for the cozy environment, it is a shame the food did not match. I had a lasagne which tasted store bought. It was not fresh, and for the price (~150kr) I expect a lot more. It had a very bad, cheap aftertaste. My girlfriend got an overpriced salad about the same price. I imagine this kind of place survives because of the large rotation of new customers coming into gamla Stan. I was not charged for my food. I will not be returning. read more

Good restaurant, really friendly waiters. The restaurant is very touristy and busy which is he only thing that is negative but it did not impact our meal. We really wanted meatballs and so we asked them if they could make them and they said yes. They were delicious! read more

This was my second time here for dinner. I really liked it the first time and I thought ordering pizza did not do justice to their other offerings. So we I there again. I ordered the garlic bread and their lamb sirloin. The garlic bread was unlike any other - crostini soaked with delicious olive oil and rubbed garlic with a mild pesto and a dash of rosemary! Loved every bit of it The lamb was outstanding! Excellent flavors on the plate, can't describe in words. I really enjoyed the meal and I'd really recommend this place! read more

The only good thing was the food.... Really good actually. We were seated as soon as we got in but it was downhill from there... We got seated by the window which on this cold winter day it was DRAFTY! My fiancé but his scarf back on. I would have put my coat back on if it weren't for the fact that there wasn't much room to do it. I'm used to being asked what to drink as soon as you sit down but no one came. When the server finally came we ordered food and drinks. And then we waited some more and when we got our food was the last time we saw our server.... When we were done eating and ready to pay he was nowhere to be found and the manager ignored our attempts to catch his attention. He looked at us and walked away... I finally asked another girl if she could bring the check or of I should just pay at the bar. She came over to the table with the check and proceeded to hang over my shoulder while I paid on their credit card machine. Made me miss America... read more

I disagree with the positive reviews of this place. The food's not superb, just ordinary ok.

Had dinner there on our first night in Stockholm and liked it a lot. The ambiance was a little kitschy, but it was a warm evening and we got a table in one of the open windows, so we could watch the world go by. Friendly service and a bit slow, as noted by other reviewers, but we were on vacation and didn't mind. Lots of tourists and lots of locals were eating there. That's always a good sign. The food was exceptional, well prepared and presented, in reasonable portions. My smoked salmon salad, accompanied by a glass of crisp Sicilian white was something to write home about. The personal pizzas are crusty and not overloaded, my hubby was very happy with his. The wine and beer selections are decent and as a whole, the bill was not too bad. I gave it only 4 stars because it is just a tad too cramped to be totally comfortable. read more

This is a good place ... used to come here a lot ... but a bad taste was left in my mouth after the waitress took my card to pay and said "should I add a tip, maybe 10%?" ... this really isn't appropriate in Sweden, and I normally tip 10% at restaurants, so I agreed ... but then she manually typed in the total herself into the credit card machine, which again is not normal in Sweden... amd then her mental math was more like 15-16%, so I felt ripped off. This is so weird and not normal for Stockholm, I feel like they just did it because I was speaking English and thought I was a tourist even though I live here. I'd go back, bit just insist that I type and calculate the total. read more

Despite being right in the heart of the touristy area of Gamla Stan this Italian was delicious. The service was wonderful. It is a little more expensive but the selections are wonderful. Each in our party ordered different meals and we all were happy! The cocktails were nice as well. read more

The staff was awesome! The fish stew and the pasta was sow of the most flavorful meals we have ever eaten. Wow I wish we were staying in Sweden more than a day. My husband said he would come back to Sweden jus to eat at that place. read more

We chose this restaurant because of the extensive menu. The service was lacking greatly and the food was absolutely average at best. The pasta was the same flavor as a famous brand from your childhood. In my opinion I would definitely look elsewhere. read more

Great pizza. They cut it in half for two. Added a salad. We had a cost effective and delicious meal for 2. A find in Stockholm.

This was one of our first meals in Stockholm. We enjoyed the experience. They had pancakes and jam for the kids, and beef tenderloin and reindeer filet for us. Food was tasty, but a bit pricey. To be expected though, as it is in a very touristy area. read more

Agaton, in my humble opinion, is a tourist trap. One of those restaurants well located in Gamla Stan, huge menu pretty much covering it all, from Italian to Swedish food. Food was good, but Agaton is very expensive. read more

Well the food is ok but, if you order a pizza or dinner and get a glass of wine, be prepared it's half a glass. They are brazen in emptying an almost empty bottle into your glass and walking away. It's not about the wine .... It's about the customer experience and expectation. Not met here. read more

Great restaurant in old town Stockholm. Wonderful service. Excellent wine. Good food.

Was looking for some Italian food in the Old Town of Stockholm and our hotel concierge recommended this place. When we arrived at the place, it was pretty full. So that's not a bad sign. We ordered three starters. Beef carpaccio and shrimp salad were pretty good, but the fried calamari was just ok. But then it went downhill from there: we waited at least 30 minutes for our main courses. On top of that, the pasta I ordered was a bit too salty, and the pizza my daughter ordered was not very good either. Only the seafood risotto was not bad. And I have to say the service was the lowlight. The waiter was very slow and not attentive at all. Never came refill our water and just talking away at other tables. Not updating us on the status of the dishes even after we asked about it several times. After having some pretty good dining experiences in several other Stockholm restaurants, we are pretty disappointed in Agaton. Definitely do NOT recommend here. read more

We were worried since it is in the heart of Old Town (Gamla Stan) that it would be about the location not the food. We were looking at the menu and the person politely pointed out they had an additional menu. He was helpful and the waiter was also very pleasant and helpful. The second menu had what our son wanted. We ordered a Caesar salad that is different then what we expected but it was good. We also had a vegetarian pizza that was very good. Our son had the spaghetti bolognese. It was also very good. It ended up being a very good choice for the location and the food. read more
