    Great italian restaurant in Gamla Stan you have to try if you visit Stockholm and love italian food. High quality food and very friendly staff. Try to make a reservation because the restaurant is well visited ! Tap water is free.

    The food was good but not perfect, shrimp pasta was overcooked, carbonara had too much bacon (I do not think it was guanciale) and it was too peppery – otherwise the consistency was excellent, yum yum and tuna tartare was great!

    We came for dinner as a group and were very lucky to have a table because even on a weekday it is fully booked. I tasted pasta with seafood. In my opinion, it was a little unproven. The seafood is perfectly cooked and as fresh as possible, it's beautiful ♥️ The service was at the highest level, we were kindly shown to a free table

    Wonderful food. A lovely authentic restaurant, friendly atmosphere and a genuine welcome. We hadn’t booked but Brandon managed to squeeze us in. Very friendly staff and food was just gorgeous. If in the area I wouldn’t strongly recommend this place. Excellent value too. Thank you everyone at Paganini.

    Showed up without a reservation on a busy Thursday evening, the host sat us in about 20ish min! Cocktails & wine were delicious. Food was incredible. Got the pappardelle al ragú & the ossobuco. Staff was attentive and food came out quick! Amazing!

    Came here for my partner’s birthday, everything was great and tasty, he’s swedish and finally he tried Ossobuco! He loved it. I had a burrata and pappardelle, the ragù is quite nice! No words for the tiramisù, I’m quite spoiled as I make it often both here in Sweden but also at home in Italy, but regardless, it was fantastic, definitely as tasty as it looks in the pic 😉 Definitely recommend 🫶🏻

    Top Italian food with amazing service. Real Italian food. Quality and taste are great. Wine options are very good and varied and they know how to recommend them. Location is great, in the center of a very traditional area in the old town in Stockholm. Dessert and typical Italian drinks are top. Decoration and ambientation is perfect. Price is in line with quality and service, not cheap.

    Incredibly friendly staff backed up by the best ragu I have had outside of Italy. Atmosphere was classy and cosy and we would absolutely recommend.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give it a go. Sat by the window. Service was authentic and lovely! We shared a pizette, swedish meatbals which were out of this world! And best tiramisu that disappeared in seconds! Grazie!!

    We went there without reservation and were offered a table within 20 min wait (which was totally worth it!) The pizzetta, the ravioli and the risotto were a dream made of truffle and the tiramisu was sent from heaven. The waitress was a young german woman who recently started working there. She was absolutely friendly and very sympathetic :-) We would definitely come back if it wasn’t our last evening here in beautiful Stockholm …

    Lauren and I had an amazing dinner, Romeo, Aziz sp? and all of the staff are such good people and so friendly, they made us feel right at home 🙏 Get the calamari and shrimp, the risotto was delicious, and tiramisu to die for. Moving to Sweden next year, we will be back and expect to be regulars 🥂

    We had lunch during a weekday. We took the day plates. The pizza was ok, but not special. My wife took a schnitzel with potatoes. also, this plate was ok, nothing special. The restaurant has an Italian name, but no one speaks italian and has Italian roots.

    We had a delicious and lovely dinner here. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all so good. I ordered the fettuccine al Paganini and it was so creamy and flavorful. They also gave us a complimentary tiramisu, which was perhaps one of the best slices of the cake I’ve ever had. Heavy on the cream and coffee flavors 🥹

    Had and amazing experience with the lads. Juliand gave us an unforgettable experience with great recommendations for wine and food. Romeo also was very nice and also gave us great service. Juliand gave us great recommendations for city life and with these two I’ve had the best experience ever at a restaurant. A day to remember!

    Overall good food! The parpadelle al ragu are a must try, really delicious. Same for the chocolate fondant, super good with the caramel ice-cream. On the other hand, the lemon cheesecake was not our favorite (not recommended). Service was good too.

    Wir haben hier zu Abend gegessen. Die Bedienung war sehr nett. Die Auswahl an Essen war nicht sonderlich vielfältig. Die Portionen im Verhältnis zum teuren Preis waren sehr klein. Geschmacklich war es gut, aber auch nicht so gut, dass wir dort nochmal essen würden.

  • 5/5 Werner K. 8 months ago on Google
    Hebt sich aus der Menge der Restaurants positiv ab. Wir waren im Mittag zum alunch dort, hervorragende Qualität zu einem guten Preis, und auch Nachtisch und Espresso sind prima. Auch a la carte top. Sehr netter Chef und Service.

  • 5/5 Sandra M. 6 months ago on Google
    Zwischen allen lokalen auf unserer Reise durch Stockholm das absolute Highlight. Ein super Service, Beratung Weinbegleitung, Empfehlung bei Essensauswahl und sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Team. "Fast food Pizza" bekommt man hier nicht, statt dessen ein tolles Geschmackserlebnis. Es gibt keine überdimensionalen Portionen, dafür ist Platz für Vorspeise, Hauptspeise und Dessert. Gastronomisch top. Es war ein gelungener Abend. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team. 👍

    Outstanding restaurant experience. The owners and servers were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The atmosphere and ambiance was quaint, romantic, and felt like you were in Italy. The food was 12/10 served on unique gorgeous handmade pieces of art. Would 100% recommend. Make a reservation to make sure to get a table!

  • 4/5 Bruno B. 10 months ago on Google
    We were four persons, two had the seabass, one a grilled chicken and i got the spaghetti Carbonara. In the menu they pro.ised guanchale, but ut was pancetta. The waiter warned me before, so I was prepared. It was great, made pretty much like the original roman receipe, and the changes was ok. The seabass was well presented and my companions like it a lot. The taste i got made it clear to me that the fish was not from today but the sides did a good job. The grilled chicken was delicious and beautiful presented. We asked the waiter to recommend the wine and his choices were very nice, both in taste and prices. The place is very cosy with a relaxed atmosphere in spite of the location in the old town of Stockholm, where the tourists outnumber everybody else. Its not a cheap place so be prepared to pay a little more than other good places.

    Paganini is another great addition to the repertoire of Italian restaurants around old town, which I am realizing now there are lots of them! The waitress helping us was very friendly, attentive and helped us with some suggestions and ideas since we told her that we had dinned at near by Italian restaurants nights before. We ordered garlic bread, cheese Ravioli, Frutti di mare, fried calamari, and a cheesecake and coffee for dessert. The food itself was delicious, the garlic bread was crunchy on the edges and soft and spongy on the inside, the cheese Ravioli was so buttery, perfectly cooked, and the cheese filling was melted without being burnt or runny. I have never been a fan of Frutti di Mare so I can't really speak on that end. The dessert was also good, but definitely the weaker part of the meal. The only cons I see with Paganini is the space of the place, tables can feel a little to close to each other and it was difficult to move around without being afraid of bumping into another table, but then again I am pretty large individual. You can tell it is a family establishment, by the end of our meal it seemed like the owner and his family were on the room next to ours and they were eating and enjoying while one of them was signing opera!

    Went with a group of 8 that was easily accommodated. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. Many of us had the ragu, but also the cod and risotto. Wine selection was great and there was free garlic bread upon request that was very garlicky but delicious.

  • 5/5 Dennis J. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm gonna have to give this place five stars. Located deep into Stockholms iconic old town, this is a place to get really, really good food. Out server Alfonso gave us an unforgettable experience, himself bursting at the seams with energy and zeal. The menu was fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough. I will go back. Can't miss this place!

  • 2/5 Charles K. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor experience. Carbonara was something else, not freshly made and no taste. Pizza margherita for kids was basically a big bruschetta. The gamberetti calabrese were OK.

  • 5/5 Troy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't commend this restaurant enough for exceptional service. They were able to make most dishes gluten free, and the culinary experience was phenomenal. Wine and cocktails too. Something strange happened with our payment, and the staff remained patient and cheerful as we got it ironed out. Kudos for a great night.

    The best italian food in Stockholm! We have been tasting a lot of plates in different restaurants in the city but none compares to Paganini Restaurant. The staff very friendly, the local very nice and the food delicious.

  • 3/5 Erika S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy place, quite tasty food but the staff didn’t seem very organized. I had dinner with my friend and I had finished eating but my friend was still eating. 2 times in less than a minute, 2 waiters came to ask if we were finished, which made us feel stressed. I think there are better Italian restaurants in Stockholm with better food and service.

  • 5/5 Prashant J. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful Italian restaurant serving delicious Italian cuisine and wines. The tiramisu is a must-have at the place.

  • 3/5 Federico F. 1 year ago on Google
    Paganini is a Nice italian restaurant in the heart of gamla Stan. We order ravioli and papardelle with a burrata as a start. The food is good but is really expensive, the papardelle pasta was dry so it was not worthy.

  • 5/5 Anni V. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service, great food. I had the risotto that was gluten-free by default but they also offer gluten-free pasta. My partner ate a pasta with meat dish and apparently there was a very good balance of meat and pasta. I would recommend going there if you’re gluten-free or just want to enjoy good food in a nice ambience.

    My husband and I had a terrible experience last Saturday. First, we arrived at the place and were waiting to be seated and the waiter next to the entrance was using the computer and pretended to not even see us, next some other waiter came to us asking if we had reservations, what we did, and then said that we didn't have any so I showed the confirmation that I received by email, and then he gave us a table. Everything was fine so far, we order the starters, drinks, and main courses all at the same time. After one hour of waiting for the main course, we noticed other tables were getting food before us. I wanted to make sure our order hadn’t been forgotten by asking a by-passing waiter and she responded in a very aggressive way that "the food is coming", she didn't even say sorry for that and took it very personally. The restaurant wasn't even crowded and we asked for a simple carbonara, it's not that hard. The dishes arrived just after that and were completely tasteless, with no salt or pepper. It's a completely Swedish restaurant with tasteless food, which didn't remind me of Italy at all.

    Amazing selection, wonderfully delicious food in a casual dining atmosphere. Excellent staff. In beautiful Old Town just a short walk from Gamla Stan station.

  • 4/5 Anna B. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is very nice and provides high quality service, the wine was great, the food was really delicious. We felt comfortable and had great time. I tried the truffle ravioli and I really loved my dish, but I wish I could taste a little stronger flavour of the black truffle. The dish had the truffle in the name, so I expected the flavour to be more prominent. With that said, the ravioli was cooked to perfection, there was a lot of very tasty ricotta filling . Ravioli was served with a very nice buttery sauce. I would recommend this dish. My friend who had tagliatelle didn't speak a word while eating, because he liked it so much:) I would also suggest to change the size of the menu card, it's way to big for such small tables, it is uncomfortable and we didn't have a place to put it after choosing our dishes. I felt bad putting it on my cuttlery and plate, since the menu is touched by so many people. Apart from those two little things, I enjoyed Paganini a lot and I will definitely go back.

    Splendid food experience at Paganini. If you fancy some superb pastas, this is a MUST to visit. 3 of us came here for dinner and all of us still talk about the restaurant 2 weeks later after our visit. I'm already planning to book a table for next week.

    THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN SWEDEN. The food was amazing. There was nothing to improve on the service. The appetizers were so good that... well, they were just sickly good. I recommend.
