Picture an authentic Italian restaurant, the kind you'd normally only find in Italy. Ristorante Villa Romana has created a food paradise for anyone who's passionate about Italian cuisine and the country's top-quality ingredients.

Ristorante Villa Romana is the sister restaurant to Trattoria Villa Romana in Kungsholmen in Stockholm, and they share the same concept. Here in Uppsala, you'll find them next to Gamla torget, in atmospheric surroundings with candlelight and warmth. During the summer months you can enjoy views over Uppsala Cathedral and the Fyris river from the alfresco dining area.

Villa Romana is warm and welcoming, encouraging guests to stay long into the evening. The menu includes homemade pasta and crisp pizza baked in a stone oven, as well as fish and meat dishes. If you're not hungry you can just drop by for a glass of wine or a beer after work.

During the daytime Ristorante Villa Romana serves homecooking and Italian dishes for lunch and in the afternoons you can drop in after work and enjoy special prices on food, snacks and drinks. At the weekend they serve a brunch menu with hearty dishes accompanied by Italian music.
