My friend tried a pasta dish & he seemed satisfied - although he looked with jealous eyes on my tuna. Nice environment but a little noisy.

Let's say it's pretty hard to find an open restaurant in Linköping on a Sunday (The boyfriend kept…read moresaying 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 :)

I haven't been to many Italian restaurants. This one has some really good pizzas. If you looking…read morefor authentic Italian pizza then this is the one you should go for. I ordered a seafood pizza, Pescatora. Though the pizza bottom got socked from the topping it doesn't matter. Because it got more flavorful instead. Next time I visit here I will probably go for some pasta dish to see how it fares

Was looking for a nice low key lunch spot while wandering the streets of Linkoping. Happened by…read moreRestaurang Mozzarella. Looked just like the spot! I ordered the pizza margarita. Fabulous! Brought me back to Italy. Nice thin crust, served Italian style. Knife and fork needed as they don't slice their pizza American style. Not greasy at all which can be a problem with thin crust sometimes. I also ordered a nice pint and a half sized Italian beer, Sans Souci 667cl. Very tasty and packed a bit of a punch at 5.6%. My only complaint is that it ended up being a bit pricy, bill came to $168 SEK or about $23. But was on vacation so, who cares :)

After many recommendations from some locals we took a large group of 9 Americans in to see and…read moretaste the food here. Papas is a large restaurant and has a more upscale restaurant attached to the right. For this visit it was left side Papas Pizza. Drink orders were taken very quick and appetizers were on the table. Our dinners ranged from several different types of pizza, lasagna, and Spaghetti Bolognese. The later two were excellent. Pizza is a very then crust and everyone liked the meal. Just not the best and more so I think many Americans prefer thicker crust. Very slow service from this point. We had to get up and find someone to order Desert and later in order to get the check. But overall, excellent Italian food, best in the city, beautiful dinning room and we all would repeat.

Right in middle of a newly built area of Linköping you find this Italian restaurant, which was…read morebuilt with sustainability in the mind. Interesting concept as well as it is unique. I had their pasta carbonara, which was made using pork chin instead of guanciale. Though it was fried on a pan until crisp as it should be. I haven't tried any original carbonara, but I thought this one was kind of salty. It was pasta made from scratch though so that's a plus.

The drinks were served to us IN OUR HANDS when the table was right in front of us. The water was served in a big bottle that was put on the table, with the expectation that we ourselves should pour it in our glasses. Throughout the meal, we weren't checked on ONE SINGLE TIME! No salt, no pepper, no more wine, no more water. After we finished eating, we sat for about 45 mins waiting for someone to clean our table and bring us more drinks. I had to finally speak with the manager ( I walked up to him myself since no one was even paying attention to us although we were desperately trying to get eye contact with the servers) and expressed my deep frustration. He apologized and calmed me down. I ordered more wine from him right then and there (cause God knew when I would be able to order again). The wine came shortly after... again served in my hand. We asked for the check. After about 15 mins I realized that the server forgot about our request and had to ask for the check from another server. NOTHING was reduced from our tab. Not even the last two glasses of wine I ordered from the manager. This place was an absolute nightmare. A waste of my time and money. I know swedes usually don't check Yelp but if I can save one person from going there, my job here is done.
