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.

I'm not the biggest pasta person, but I could eat at this place every day! Will definitely miss…read morethis gem in Gothenburg. Food-wise, the pasta is exceptional. I really can't stop thinking about it. I've only ordered the 'Shrooms' dish and tried a bit of the 'Slow Tomato,' and both were so good. With a drizzle of their homemade chili oil, it is the most divine thing, and the pepitas + shavings of Grana Padano on top add the nicest finishing touches. Honestly, if you're there, I'd recommend buying a bottle of the chili oil, too. It was only around ~50 SEK if I remember correctly, and although I had to double bag it for the plane ride back to the US, it has made every pasta I've had since 10x more delicious. The price is so good, too. Some of their pastas are only 50 SEK -- for the quality of the food + homemade pasta, it literally sounds too good to be true. Drinks-wise, I had their house red + a friend tried their house cava, and both were so good! I would probably get the cava if I could go back in time, but the red was a good pair to the pasta. The ambiance is really cute -- their neon orange sign makes it feel really trendy/chic but also cozy! We were sat briefly outside and it was SO cold, my only complaint is that the heaters are too far away from the tables to make any difference LOL. But they provided blankets so that made it a bit better. Service is great, one doesn't really interact with them too much as there's also the option of just going to the counter and ordering, but they're usually pretty friendly. This place is a gem, absolutely check it out if you're in Gothenburg!

I cannot pinpoint why, but I believe one of the disappointments was that the menu is small and not with all the Italian goodies I was looking forward to.

It's 1 block from home, so I guess I will be posting more photos in the future. I judge an Italian place by 2 things, how nerdy amd proud the owner is of their establishment and how good the risotto is. My risotto was very good, in fact, my next guest I want to bring with me is my friend from Rome who is my risotto expert in Gothenberg. Tue wine was a good price, color, aroma and taste, just as promised by the owner, it comes from his hometown! The dessert was very good, but also very drenched in liquor, so I needed a cup of tea to make it through the dessert instead of a dessert wine. It feels like a cafe in Rome, especially sitting out there during the warmest longest summer in over a century. And maybe like a film, people think they can bring their dogs to dinner with them. Which I don't mind as long as they behave, but unfortunately there seems to be several in the neighborhood who don't know how to dog whisper.
