Other then that the staff was good, not rude but not that nice either. The food was boring, but you can't expect good food in karlskrona.

This is the kind of restaurant with a style that immediately when you walk in reminds you of a…read moreclassic neighborhood bistro with an owner that knows the people and greets them on a first name basis. Their own statement is that the place is supposed to be reminiscent of the Montmartre neighborhood in north Paris with its variety of peacefulness, loudness, charm and beauty - a place that is the soul of the city (Paris). While I appreciate metaphors, they do incite a certain "danger" if the restaurant isn't up to par with their statement. We went here, three adults and three kids (age 7, 10, 13), and we were immediately greeted by the owner and seated at our reserved table. We were quite quickly given menus. All of the adults ordered pesto gratin clams with butter, lemon, herb salad. Perfectly cooked! Rich in flavor, buttery, slightly acidic from the lemon that just cut through the butter without over-powering the delicate clams. I had a glass of white wine, Hidden Rock, a chardonnay from Australia. Despite the severe complexity of pairing wine with acid/lemon, this really did the trick. For main my son had the beef tenderloin Black Angus, Bearnaise sauce, onion rings, and tomato. He cleaned the plate. So happy with his dish. My daughter and youngest son split a Vesuvio pizza. It had thin and crispy crust, tangy cheese, and a tomato sauce both rich and deep in flavor without being sweet. They were happy! For main two of us had the lightly salt cured cod with prawns, broccoli and horse radish butter. It was soft, moist, and flaky. Just delicious. I had the pepper beef tenderloin, brandy-flambé cream sauce, baby vegetables, herb oil and roasted potatoes. Ordered my meat rare and it came perfectly rare. Good and crispy char with the ruby red center. It just melted on my palate. I had a glass of wine, a red Sangiovese. It was good, big lingonberry flavour, but unfortunately too light to handle the pepper in my dish. For dessert my kids had the sticky chocolate cake with miniature merengue, raspberry coulis and whipped cream. I myself had a Toblerone parfait, chocolate- and nougat sauce, mango sorbet, and whipped cream. To this a nice cup of coffee. Tasty and rich but too big in size. Half would have been more than enough. In all, this place is a friendly neighborhood gem. Forget fine-style dining, this is straight forward well-cooked food with a heartwarming touch of home. Friendly, attentive and accommodating serving-staff. It's not without flaws of course. Menus in plastic covered pages I could do without, genuine paper oozes a bit more quality. Sorely lacking cloth napkins, the only thing available were thin paper napkins. Also, a meager choice of one white and red wine on the glass is nowhere near acceptable. At least 3 of each are needed to accommodate the variety of dishes (as I personally experienced with my main). Lastly two things; portion control on the dessert. That amount of sweet isn't necessary. Scale back a bit, making it a bit more refined. And don't use "whipped" cream from a spray can, whip real cream! But really, I'm nitpicking here. This is a great place, friendly smiles, and above all tremendously well-cooked food that leaves you satisfied, happy and definitely with a desire to try more of their dishes at another time. Don't miss it!

In downtown Karlskrona there's a small little Italian place with the appropriate name Michelangelo…read more In the summer-time they also have an outdoor patio seating area that complements the rather small indoor restaurant. Wooden walls and quite dark (that unfortunately due to the lack of cloth makes the dining area a bit loud/echoing), the interior rather breathes of history and genuineness than the modern approach, a little bit like stepping back in time restaurant-wise, and that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. On the contrary, Michelangelos primary focus is genuine cooking with big and bold flavors without the fancy shenanigans. This latest outing was with my father, his partner Maggan, myself and our youngest son Isak. We were quickly seated and attended to and started going over the menus. All of decided on Gamberoni al piccanti for starter - fried scampi in garlic, chili and parsley with salad. The scampi was perfectly cooked, translucent in the middle and still moist with nice hint of chili and garlic. The salad though was sorely lacking any kind of finesse or skill. I know Italian salads and I love them both for their simplicity and amazing flavors. But a few green leaves with sloppy chopped tomatoes and large bits of raw red onion doesn't fool anyone, in particular not me. I had the house white wine on the glass for the starter it was very bland without any structure or complexity. I really prefer a more sweet wine, perhaps a Riesling, that is a perfect match to delicate seafood. But no, this didn't work. For main course all of us once again decided on the same dish, their honey glazed lamb roast beef with roasted potatoes, red wine jus, and sautéed vegetables. We also ordered an Italian bottle of red wine (can't remember what it was) but the wine was good. Though the food was the highlight! Succulent and tender roast beef, beautiful vegetables, crispy potatoes. The only minor flaw was that the red wine jus was too sweet, I like the sauce to have more bite and thus complement both the vegetables and the meat better. But I'm getting nitpicky here, the food is good and I'll be more than happy to come back and taste another little piece of Italy.
