They were already busy but showed my wife, mom, and me to a table right away. But just a heads up, by the time we left a couple of hours later, they were packed and had a line out of the door. We shared some Italian olives as a starter. They were fantastic! My mother had an individual sized pizza, my wife had risotto, and I had a pasta dish with pork belly, cheese, and tomato sauce. We all really enjoyed our main courses. The portions were honestly large enough to share. The atmosphere was good and the place had a buzz about it. I definitely recommend dining there.

Fantastic dinner with amazing Italian food…read more I had the steak tartare with truffles. They were generous with the truffles. Delicious. Then the pork, beautifully prepared with a rich pork flavor. Finally blackberry ice cream for dessert. Among the three of us we polished off every plate eagerly and happily. The restaurant clearly hosts locals regularly as many were recognized by face with their name and "usual table". Dogs were welcome. Additionally reservations seem like a must. We got very lucky a table was open but people after us were not as lucky.

We both ordered the fish, which was lightly fried with cream sauce and boiled potatoes, it was very good, super tasty! The salad bar was ok, it's located behind the counter where you order and there's some selection but it gets a bit old by the end of the afternoon, the soup was great. You order upfront and then find a table to sit while they make your order and will bring it to your table. It overlooks the lake area and boardwalk area so there are some tables with a nice view and in the summer there's lots of outdoor patio seating, which is really cozy. Great spot for lunch when in town shopping etc

Who would've thought some of the best Italian food you could ever possibly savor would be in…read moreSweden? Began the night with a local beer selection, Star, a Pilsner by microbrewery Alingsås Bryggeri AB. A little darker and hoppier than an American Pilsner but ended up being the perfect compliment for my scallop starter. Beautifully plated in its own shell, cut into slivers and topped with brown soy butter, Yuzu mayonnaise and a bit of puffed rice for texture. Absolutely charming presentation. For the main course I chose the Mezze maniche. Imagine seared filet, pan fried guanciale and truffle enrobed in the most creamy, flavorful sauce with hints of black peppercorns and lastly topped with aged pecorino. Sounds impeccable, right? I try to not be that person, the prisoner of the moment.. but taste buds don't lie. Sweden just slaps. Or as they say-- built different. I don't know how they prepared this dish with so much depth of flavor but I honestly contemplated on kissing the chef. At the very least ask if they're hiring a commis chef. I'll gladly work for food. Thoroughly enjoyed this dining adventure. The staff were all-stars.. doing their best with prompt service and the best english they could muster. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

We came here with a reservation for a Saturday night, I was 9 months pregnant at the time so it was hard to get to fully enjoy it! We ordered cocktails, mine being a virgin mojito and it was tasty, fresh and didn't just taste like juice. I was limited with options to order while pregnant so we have to come back later, as the menu was extensive with great options. I ordered the white asparagus to start and the ravioli pasta for dinner. The asparagus was very good, loved it, fresh and super indulgent, but the pasta was super rich and I couldn't finish it with all the oil and fat it was soaked in. My husband got the raw beef starter and it looked AMAZE but the oxfile pasta was perfect he said. The only oddness, we asked if the burrata and/or ricotta were pasteurized cheeses so we could order them and they said no. It was super surprising that they aren't, not just pregnant people are sensitive to unpasteurized dairy... I do wonder if the waiter and the chef he asked knew what we meant when we asked? They seemed super confused! But we stayed on the safe side and didn't order it. The interior has really jazzed up, it's really swanky and fun inside and a great spot for a party crew or date!

He was really nice and so was the rest of the staff. We decided on the pollo salad and fish ceviche. The salad had no flavor, and the dressing was quite bland. As for the chicken on the salad it was probably one of the blandest, driest chicken I've had in quite some time. The fish ceviche was so fishy tasting that we exchanged it for the beef tartar, which ended up looking like raw hamburger meat mixed with a bunch of fancy shit. To top it all off, to top it all off I found a very large piece of plastic in my salad that I by accidentally chewed.

Able to converse in English, but no English menu. Pollo Speciale salad was very good, nicely presented.

Good selection of local beers with an Italian beer or two for authenticity. Would definitely visit again, if only to have a chance to sample the pizza Insaw a couple near to us enjoying!
