Un Poco — Restaurant in Stockholm

Overall, the food was just okay. The tuna was the standout dish. Large portions for the price, but not great value. The set menu feels outdated and more like a money grab than a showcase of their best dishes. We hope to return if the menu is updated, but as of now, we wouldn't recommend it.

Details below: Visited Un poco on a Friday evening with a table booked from 18:30-20:30. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming.

Service: Exceptional service from our server, who was attentive and professional throughout the night. Another staff member ensured our water glasses were always filled, but our wine glasses were never refilled, leaving us to manage the bottle ourselves. After we complained about the risotto, our server kindly gave us a tiramisu to go for free.

Food: Mixed experience of the Un Poco set menu. Tuna: Best dish of the night. Cooked perfectly with amazing Asian flavors from yuzu, cucumber, and green onion. The truffle was unnecessary. Tartar: Fried leek detracted from the meat's flavor. The capers and microgreens were nice, but the mayonnaise lacked taste. Burrata: Too sweet. The tomatoes were cooked in sugar, overshadowing their natural sweetness. Basil oil and burrata were good. Charcuterie: No complaints. Generous portions and nice olives. Ravioli: Overly sweet with an unnecessary almond cake crumble on top. The filling was granular. The al dente pasta was well-cooked, but the sweetness dominated the dish. Risotto: The worst dish. Bland with crunchy, borderline raw asparagus that gave a bitter taste. No salt, and even the truffle couldn't save it. Truffle Cooked Macaroni: Enjoyed the green onion taste. Pasta was al dente but lacked salt and...

Reading the great reviews on Google and TripAdvisor , we had to check this place out.

The service was warm and attentive and the décor was really tasteful and edgy. Gilded ceilings, and dark wood makes for a great environment for a drink or dinner.

Being an Italian restaurant, they had the typical italian style menu with starters, first and second courses and desert. We settled for dinner and ordered only 2 main courses as we weren't particularly hungry and prices were not cheap (but not expensive for Stockholm).

What was reasonably well done (almost literally) was my entrecot steak. The wait staff didn't ask what kind of doneness I liked , and it completely slipped my mind. It came served medium to medium well. I prefer my steaks medium rare. But my fault, I didn't clarify. So the meat was not the most tender and bordering on dry at some parts of the cut. However, the char done on the steak was perfect, and the red wine sauce sublime. Served with fries, it made for a nice enough meal.

We also had the meatball pasta, which unfortunately was really not well executed at all. Pasta was no where near al dente and the sauce was not particularly special. The meatballs were ok, but also not great.

Overall the meal was by no means special, and I don't think it was anywhere worth the price.

The steak saved it from a 2 star rating, as the pasta on its own was a big...

We had a great food experience a few weeks ago and wanted to come back but never in my life that I will spend more money on a restaurant that is too fancy to take a booking over the phone, and on top of that rude and ignorant. We politely called to this restaurant to book a table and they answer with a very ignorant tone, “it’s 2023, all bookings are done digitally. So we went to their website to find that it says “wait list/Que” for the whole evening. Called back and again, a rude answer that this is how it works 2023 etc. It sure is 2023 and yes, one thing might be different, some people’s mentality. But social skills will always be social skills and here they clearly don’t know what that is. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time on this,...
