Il Forno Italiano - Gamla Uppsala

A lovely atmospheric place in the university quarter above the cathedral. Lovely, welcoming and attentive service and a wide menu including Italian classics as well as the more standard pizzas. All of the food was good and tasty. The cheapest wine was a cabernet sauvignon for about 600 SEK average for Uppsala. There is outdoor seating as well as a lovely inside.

The food here was amazing and everyone enjoyed their food. I had their mushroom risotto and it was absolutely amazing. However, the waitress responsible for our table was not so pleasant. The service given by the other serving staff was amazing. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the poor service of the first waitress. Would recommend!

While walking through the town we thought we would try a local spot that had good reviews. The place is located conveniently and seating was plentiful during the late lunch hour. We were quickly served water and mini bread pieces with olive oil which was tasty. My wife ordered the Ceasar salad with chicken and I ordered Casareccia Con Funghi pizza. The food came out fairly quick probably less than 10 minutes. If you like mushrooms, the pizza I ordered was delicious. Such a big pizza which I could not finish alone. My wife’s salad was not so good. The chicken seems not fresh, perhaps frozen or over cooked and the salad was over dressed with the dressing. Overall ok experience, probably will not order the Ceasar salad with chicken again.

Second visit two years later while travelling to Sweden. Great experience like last time. Despite being quite busy, the staff carefully looked after us. Pizza was nice and crunchy with a thin dough and tasty toppings. The meat was cooked perfectly. Juicy and tasty. To finish, we had one of the best tiramisu ever. Safe spot

Delicious Italian pizza, located near the church and by the street, the outside tables are not very cozy and quiet but really great. The staff are friendly and warm, the prices here are above average. Overall I highly recommend this place for those who are craving for great Italian pizza.
