Where to get your slice of Heaven.
It’s no secret that Swedes love Italian food, and who doesn’t, anyway? Italian food is so diverse – pizza, pasta, risotto… we’d devour it all in a minute and feel nothing but contentment. Swedish-Italian food is pretty different though. I mean, where else in the world can you find pizzasallad served alongside every creatively-topped pizza? However, we’re certainly not complaining, and Swedish-Italian food is one of those things that can put a smile on your face no matter what. So, this list includes authentic Italian restaurants at which you can taste the flavours of Rome, Naples, Milan and the Amalfi Coast, but we’re pretty sure they’ll happily serve you a pizzasallad too.
