Cucina Povera — Restaurant in Stockholm

ATT!! I didn’t know what I wanted for lunch today walking through Södermalm. I stumbled across this place and noticed it had just opened. Always a good sign for decent food when a place first opens, a lot of care and energy gets put into making your food. This place was no exception. The best pita I’ve had outside of turkey. Beautiful coal charred flavour on the juicy chicken, the sauces were rich in flavour, the salad fresh as it gets and the assembly of the pita was perfectly proportioned and consistent throughout the warm freshly baked pita. I will be back here this week. The beer was delicious and cheap aswell to complement my meal....

I really enjoyed the pita with grilled chicken. The chicken was juicy and taste of the grill was at its best. Pita was very fresh as they make it just after the order, and the fillings was in harmony with each other. However, I was a little disappointed with the parsley-lemon-garlic fries, as I couldn’t even taste the lemon and garlic, so it was just the parsley. Last but not least, the mint lemonade had great balance, which was less sugary than we usually drink in other places. I would visit this place again...

Avoid at all costs! 0/5 - Too bad that zero stars is not an option. We ordered two chicken bowls, got one chicken bowl another halloumi(?). Ok, mistakes happen, fine with halloumi. But not coal burnt one, same with chicken - burnt on the outside, pink on the inside. Politely asked to re-do, after 60 minutes of waiting the staff curiously ask “oh, you didn’t leave?”… kitchen is a mess, strong smell of burnt food....
