Di Spagna Vaesteraas

This restaurant has had a shift in ownership from private to corporate. It seemed like a good transfer on paper, but I was anything but pleased with my first and probably only visit to this place since the shift in ownership. It was a spontaneous visit with my girlfriend. The environment is fairly nice and the service was decent, which is why I gave a 2 instead of a 1. I ordered a plankstek , which is a traditional course consisting of filet mignon on a wooden plank with mashed potatoes au gratin spritzed along its edges. Baconwrapped asparagus and grilled tomato are usual additions on the plank, together with a red wine sauce/glaze and bearnaise sauce on the side. I was so looking forward to my medium filet. My girlfriend ordered a supposedly Napolitan pizza Capricciosa (tomato sauce, mozzarella, ham and mushrooms). Unfortunately, none of the courses were even close to the price that was asked. In my course, I 'm not convinced that I even got a filet mignon as I was very tough meat I left it on the plank and even had to put my attempts to chew it back on the plank. The red wine sauce seemed like it had an accident, like the chef dropping too much finely ground black pepper in the sauce. The bearnaise sauce had very little taste you would do much better buying store made from a grocery store like Coop or ICA. I was so disappointed, I didn 't even bother with the mashed potatoes. My girlfriend 's Napolitan pizza was decent, where the ingredients were OK, but the bread was poorly executed. This pizza was not even close to the quality as which the price for it should represent. When a waitress asked how it was, I said all of this to her and she offered to replace the meal, but I couldn 't see how I could be satisfied by another round of the same, plus it was getting late and we wanted to continue our evening out. Which we did, by going to eat at Bistro Gränden about 300 meters away. All in all, this is an overpriced restaurant putting makeup on a pig and expecting customers to simply pay and not notice the inferior quality of the food. It needs to be said that plankstek is a good measure of a restaurant 's capability due to the different components. If you can 't even have good quality meat or even know how to make a sauce, then the rest is most likely just as poor. Avoid.

It was great food and friendly staff! Strongly recommend this place if you are looking for delicious pasta! I missed taking photos of our dishes, but they looked great :

I wrote a review of this restaurant in 2013. I visit the city of Västerås whenever I am in Sweden. I ate here a few days ago, and it was without doubt the worst restaurant experience. I ordered Pasta Allevongli, which is a main course dish, and tiramisu for dessert. My son choose a starter and his main dish was Rigatone Vodka. I am well aware that when one guest orders a starter, the other has to wait and I was perfectly happy to wait while my son ate his starter. In the meantime, guests around us had ordered steaks and they were being served. the couple on the right of us, even finished their meal and paid for it. I had been waiting 30 minutes for my meal !!!!! What kind of planning is there ??? If I order a main course and a dessert, and my son orders a starter and a main course, then could we not get I food at the same time, since we are both eating 2 dishes. Do you like to torture your guests and make them wait for your disgusting food ?????? The waitress comes up to me and tells that that was a problem in the kitchen and it would take another 15 minutes !!!!1 The dish finally arrived, and it was presented in a litttle cereal bowl and half of the mussels were not open. The spaghetti was sitting in a disgusting tomato sauce, because I was hungry after waiting for so long, I ate it. Mistake !!!! The tiramisu was equally disgusting ! My son had the Rigatone Vodka, which was ok, but the Pasta was not Al dente.

To call this a pizza restaurant would be insulting. It is a proper bistro, with a very extensive winelist. Unfortunately it is missing a structured menu, so you know what they serve. It is more an assembly of dishes which perhaps the chef likes? We had as starter toast skagen. Very nice. After that we had a schnitzel and steak tartare. The latter one was a bit too heavy on the mayonaise.

Piazza di Spagna has been around forever and so has their fillet on a wooden board. Still tastes good but the portions are geting smaller. A mixup in the kitchen turned one portion into well done instead of medium-rare leading to one of us getting the food when the others were already finished. Service was a bit sloppy/stressed.
