FerAlex MenFar: Is there anybody who still hasn't understood that you simply MUST have all the varieties of splendid meatballs? Best choice: the Meatball Piadina. Keep an eye on the specials board! True treasures.
Inna Kovaljova: Lovely Italian tapas place. Take a good company with you and try to order as many different dishes as possible. Everything tastes good (loved the chickpea&spinach meatballs and their pizzettas).

Viv: Get the smorgasboard platter thing - meatballs and salads are delish
Marie S.: They sell the meatballs, special sauce and lingonberry jam in their store! For those who love to have the Scandinavian experience at home, too.
Russell: Fantastic food. I would recommend the meatballs and smorgasbord selections, which you can choose 3 or 5 options. First time, based on foursquare reviews, but definitely not last
