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.

The interior is very nice as well. Food is good and staff is nice. We tried the lobster pasta, lamb chops and panna cotta. The main dishes were great, however the dessert was not as good as we hoped for. If you are looking for a restaurant in the area, I would highly recommend this one.

It pains me to write this review, but I have to be honest. I first came here a couple of years ago…read moreand it was great at the time. So good that I gave my original review 4 stars. I haven't come here in recent times so I decided to stop by today for lunch and check it out. I was incredibly disappointed. I ordered a pizza and my partner a pasta carbonara. I dread to say that both were shockingly bad. The pizza, and I am 99% sure about this, was some frozen (or fresh uncooked pizza) from the grocery store slapped with a few slices of salami and rucola. You can tell from the crust of the pizza, the flavor and texture of the tomato base and lack of cheese. I was incredibly disgusted that a restaurant I rated so highly served such a poor dish. It's seriously an insult to Italian food and the Italian people. If this pizza wasn't frozen or store bought, then it was the worst pizza I have ever had. Shocking. Absolutely shocking. I'll let you be the judge, but I really want to save you the 99 SEK. The carbonara was dried out. It tasted reheated and definitely not al dente. You could tell by the hard edges of the penne. Pancetta was extremely salty and upset the overall balance of the dish. Again, I'll let you be the judge. Personally, I will never come here again. I got burned so bad that I am not going to even give this place a second chance.

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.

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!

We made a reservation for a Sunday during the middle days and it was quite empty (likely due to many things like a global pandemic). We got seated at a half booth two top almost immediately. We ordered two appetizers, two entrees, a bottle of wine and it came to a total of 1400kr including tip. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helped us pick out a great wine for our pastas. The carpaccio was delicious, the deli platter was great for sharing, but the gnocchi was beyond. It was probably the best I've had- can not recommend it enough. The vibe is great for friends or cute and romantic date night!

We wondered across the street and stumbled upon Franco Bruno, a small pizza shop with two tables outside. This was one of the best meals I have ever had and the best pizza I have ever had. The owner of the restaurant took great care of us and went above and beyond. All of the staff was extremely friendly And we were very impressed.
