We randomly picked this restaurant for dinner and were not disappointed in our choice. We showed up…read morea bit after six. 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.

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.

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!
