Review of Gazza – by Fredrik J.

Fun with a new, ambitious Italian on Hornsgatan. Was a little disappointed though.
The room is simple but nice and feels Central European with ceiling fans, small table lamps and wood paneling.
The service was good if slightly disengaged.
We were two people and started by sharing two antipasti, alici marinate (boquerones?) and pulpo, which later turned out to be the highlights of the evening. Amazingly good both of them. After that, we had each ordered a pasta. The staff recommended taking three but since we weren't terribly hungry we still only took two. It turned out to be a good decision on several levels. The pasta dishes were... Strange. Nice to look at, absolutely, but the flavors cut themselves, the pasta itself was slightly undercooked and the whole thing felt either too innovative and/or too little craftsmanship.
- Pipe Rigate, butter foam, almonds and caviar(!) - mostly tasted butter and lightly burnt wheat flour. The almond added a little, the caviar nothing.
- Ravioli Fiori, shrimp, glass rebarber(!), citrus, vanilla(!) and butter sauce - tasted mostly citrus. Also some rhubarb, shrimp and vanilla (which mostly felt weird).
Despite the recommendation of three pasta dishes, we got full and didn't even get both of us dishes. In contrast, dessert in the form of a tiramisu (which was tasty) and what I assume was a self-made limoncello.
All in all a bit of a disappointment and overpriced in terms of food. There are several restaurants that deliver better on all levels within walking distance.
