Portofino

About

Portofino delivers the soul of a traditional Italian trattoria to the historic heart of Stockholm’s Gamla Stan. From the moment you step onto Stora Nygatan 46 the fragrant aromas of freshly prepared pasta, buttery risottos and oven‑baked seafood invite you into an intimate dining experience that feels both authentic and welcoming. Head chef Luciano Arù and his brigade craft an ever‑evolving seasonal menu that showcases the finest Italian ingredients – from silky burrata and truffle‑infused fettuccine to rich ossobuco and lobster in a classic arrosto. The restaurant’s elegant, yet relaxed décor, complete with an open‑kitchen view, creates a convivial atmosphere perfect for family celebrations, romantic dinners or casual lunches. Portofino’s ‘Macelleria Matsal & Deli’ branch in Vasastan offers the same quality menu with a friendly, lively feel that encourages guests to linger over a glass of local wine or a slice of cake. While reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, the casual lunch crowd can often be accommodated without a booking. Whether you’re indulging in a DALLA GIORNATA pasta or a creamy tiramisu, every bite at Portofino feels like a passport to Italy visited from Stockholm.
