Capannone

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Elegant Italian, Stockholm's Way

Down a flight of stairs on Roslagsgatan in Stockholm's Vasastan neighbourhood, Capannone serves what its founder Sacha describes simply as "elegant Italian food, our way." The premise is straightforward: genuine flavours and time-honoured Italian traditions, executed without compromise and without pretension. That commitment has earned the restaurant recognition from Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food and wine guide, in its 2025 edition — a meaningful mark of credibility for an Italian restaurant operating outside Italy.

The Food and the Bar

The menu draws its inspiration from Little Italy in New York — a transatlantic lens on the Italian canon. Fresh, handmade pasta anchors the kitchen, alongside fried shellfish, whole grilled fish, and a considered selection of meat dishes that travel the length of Italy, north to south. Everything follows the seasons. The dessert trolley arrives loaded with tiramisù, profiteroles, and cannoli — the kind of classics that, as the restaurant puts it, never go out of style.

At the bar, the cocktail list reads like a roll call of Italian-American icons: Negroni, Bellini, Espresso Martini. An extensive wine list rounds out the drinks offering, and the adjacent Capannone Bottega — a traditional wine bar on the same premises — adds another dimension entirely. Here, close collaborations with selected winemakers translate into a cellar that is both innovative in selection and genuinely curated. Guests can begin an evening in the wine bar, move through to the main restaurant for dinner, and finish the night back at the bar — a full arc under one roof.

Space and Spirit

The restaurant seats 60 inside, with a further 60 places outdoors, making it a year-round destination. Two private rooms — one for up to 20 guests, a smaller one for 8 — can be tailored with a bespoke menu or one of the set group menus. Lunch runs Monday to Friday, Saturday brunch fills the midday hours, and dinner service opens every evening from Tuesday through Saturday. The kitchen's raw materials, as the team notes, reflect four decades of supplier relationships and a continuous search for the very best produce.
