Definetly my favorite restaurant in Borlänge. They have a wide array of italian classics. The ones I tried all tasted phenomenal. The staff are super nice and service is always quick and friendly. The authentic italian decorations make the experience even better. I will 100% miss this place a lot when I'm gone, so I would highly recommend going more than once!

Ciao, as Italian I've been struggling finding a good pizza and honestly this is the one the one that reminds me of an Neapolitan one the most, topping included. The restaurant is not 100% italian style and cannot say that is a accurate "trattoria" just because they make pasta, but still for those 10 mins I was eating the pizza I forgot to be in Sweden, thus great achievement.

Special guest to the Brazilian waiter that was super kind and nice, he knows how to make espresso (finally! so rare to drink a not burned coffee!!). Thus thanks a lot!

I would have put 4,5 star thought honestly, the tomato soup was a bit acid, and I was expecting basil on top of Margherita pizza, not rucola (but here I'm being punctilious)

We had a stop here on our road trip and what can I say? We were very pleasantly surprised!

There's perfectly cooked pizza with genuine first class ingredients. Balanced amount of filling too. Even the dough has that sweet delicious taste! 🍕

We also tried the Vodka Pasta which has a nice rip and sting to it, liked it a lot! Pasta was also cooked al dente 👌

Very professional and kind service from the staff as well. Nicely furnished in a genuine way, clean restrooms as well!

We visited this place while we were on vacation near Borlänge.

My boyfriend and I love neapolitan style pizza and whenever we travel, we try neapolitan pizzas around the world.

This one, in our opinion, was absolutely perfect.

The whole experience was great. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the ambiente was beautiful and the pizza was really really great!

I loved the fact that it was no problem to get a vegan pizza (that’s not a marinara)

If I could I would come here every week for that pizza! Hope to taste it again someday!

Nice surprise with such homely flavourful tastes from Italy. Fast service, friendly staff. Good deco, upbeat and nature themed restaurant. Food wise, the grilled prawns, clam & prawn pasta and spicy pepperoni pizza are good bets. Drinks wise, we enjoyed the lemonade and Bellini. We rounded off our meal with a very satisfying tiramisu and coffee.
