Il Tempo — Restaurant in Stockholm

I’ve been here twice and it is a 4.5-star in my view. The pasta noodles was freshly made and you could see the cooks making it in front of your eyes, plus it was boiled to the perfect hardness. The pasta dishes I had were to my liking, the seafood was fresh and the sauce was flavorful but not overwhelming. Both the scallops and shrimps were cooked to a perfect tenderness. However my friend complained that her ragu was a bit too greasy. The atmosphere was a bit not good enough unfortunately. The tables were placed too close to each other and the back of the chair was touched every time someone passes behind the person...
