Italiano

Terrible service. Take away took over 30 minutes. Staff seemed incompetent. Go elsewhere!
waited by the sign that said wait to be seated and no one ever showed up or greeted me, confused I walked inside. I had to stand in the middle of the restaurant and waive down a waiter to get service. They were not very busy even. I placed an order for take out. I waited for 30 minutes before asking where my food was. The man who took my order disappeared and failed to communicate with anyone else that I was waiting for take away. Turned out that while I was waiting out front my food was sitting in back for who knows how long. The food was okay. Nothing special.
My mother who stayed in the night before ate my left overs the next day and thought they were very good, so for her I will add two stars.

As we have become accustomed to on our trip in Sweden, the staff was very friendly. We had an assortment of traditional Italian specialities as a starter, which was great, and we had spaghetti with mozzarella and veal with gnocchi for main courses, and they both tasted great.

I would give this place no stars, but you can’t do that on Unilocal.My sweetheart and I were excited to try this place, but we got up and left after being completely ignored by the wait staff. Shame on the gentleman waiter with a beard who turned his back on me when I waived to get his attention. I had to get up out of my chair to walk over to the waiters who were hanging out at the front of the restaurant, and the gentleman bearded waiter saw me coming over and walked away from me. I cornered a pretty girl waiter and asked her if she would take our order and she looked so uncomfortable and weirdly annoyed. We gave her our order, but after being made to feel so unwelcome, my sweetheart and I told her to cancel our order and left. I won’t be telling my Swedish foodie friends to try this place. Instead, we went to Café Baresso, which is right up the street, and had the most delicious meal at a fraction of the price and we were treated with kindness and consideration.

It was nice and homey
We had the seafood pasta and the lamb chops. With the artichokes as a starter. What is with wine prices here… wow though I may have cracked the code as most places have a lower priced house wine that isn’t on the menu. Food was good I am not a big eater so gave my BF two of the chops but they were pretty good sized, and properly cooked with a great sauce, I hate over cooked meat this was very medium rare, and came with a very flavorful salad. For the city of Stockholm I would say it was a good value. Note though that frippe a bistro on the street has wine for half the price and much more value oriented entrée prices, that is going to be tomorrow night!

Das Italiano in Stockholm ist ein gediegenes, eher gehobenes italienisches Restaurant in der Nähe des Dramaten (Royal Dramatic Theatre). Da es nicht sonderlich groß ist, empfiehlt es sich, vorab einen Tisch zu reservieren bei uns hat es gereicht, dies zwei Stunden vorher zu tun. Der Raum ist relativ laut und voll, daher eher für kleine Gruppen als für romantische Paare geeignet.
Das Essen war sehr gut: Wir hatten das nicht ganz billige Rinderfilet mit langweiliger Rotweinsoße aber köstlichem Pesto genovese. Pizza und Pasta sahen ebenfalls empfehlenswert aus. Die Wein-​Auswahl ist gut, wenn auch wie in Schweden gewohnt recht teuer.
Insgesamt kann man im Italiano gut und angenehm essen. Nur das Personal könnte etwas weniger hochnäsig sein. :)
P. S.: Die meisten Speisen können Gluten– und Laktosefrei zubereitet werden.

Bad restaurants don’t deserve long reviews, so to the point:
–Great location in posh Ostermalm.
–Décor is basic.
–Wine was pretty decent.
–Bread was ho-​rri-​ble. This is what I would serve in jail.
–Appetizers were OK: salmon carpaccio was way too thick but fresh, the mint-​and-​honey pesto and the cheese slices had no business being on the same plate as the salmon but eaten separately, they were good. The mozzarella and tomato salad was edible.
–The spinach-​and-​ricotta tortellini in pesto sauce were nasty: tortellini were the kind you can buy in the fresh aisle of your supermarket and cook at home for a quarter of the price. The pesto sauce was not a pesto sauce: it was a heavy cream sauce with basil in it (and olive oil for good measure, because, hey, you never know, it might be too light). And did I mention super salty? This is a swedenized version of pesto. No wonder the Swedish Unilocalers gave a 4.5 average to this restaurant. But if you are not Swedish I reckon you would not enjoy this restaurant.
