Like its sibling Döden i grytan, Den gamle och havet, roughly translates to the old man and the sea serves authentic Italian food, but the meatier options have been replaced in favour of delectable frutti di mare delicacies.

The seafood and shellfish offering is extensive, classics such as scampi, butter-fried sole and scallops are served with a distinct Italian twist. The intimate, candlelit venue illustrates the restaurant's no-frills philosophy. Quality produce and genuine flavours take the centre stage earning Den gamle och havet its renowned reputation.

    I am neither disappointed nor impressed. Good food, okay service, but also not very eager to come back. A nice neighborhood restaurant, but not worth a detour.

    Very famous Italian who I don't think lived up to the good reputation at all. The truffle pasta was basically completely unsalted and didn't taste anything special, I've eaten much better ones. Slow service.

    Mysig restaurang med familjär stämning. Klassisk ”italiensk” inredning med dämpat ljud. Lite väl tätt mellan borden och relativt hög ljudnivå, dock ingen musik.

    Servicen var trevlig - enkelt och avslappnat.

    I want to give them a higher rating but thought the service was quite ok but that they could overrun such a nice fish hurt my heart. It was cooked for far too long. Otherwise, the starters were superb, the vongol quite ok. But the truffle paste was the star of the show. Incredibly good and almost wo...

    I had too high expectations for this place and was not wowed as I had thought. Good and nice place. The tiramisu was definitely one of the better ones I've eaten.

    God mat med en okej väntetid. De löste sittplats med relativt kort varsel vilket är bra. Tyvärr kanske aningen tråkig servitör däremot och addera sen hög ljudnivå samt en påtaglig värme så blir helheten en bara en trea.

    Mycket bra service

    Första intryck väldigt bra, väldigt trevliga i personalen och lokalen liten och mysig. Vi delade på arancini och två olika pasta, allt i sin helhet väldigt bra men med några noteringar. Arancini hade kunnat få lite mer av den goda såsen att balansera...

    I have had a chance to revisit this local institution. Still very charming atmosphere as well as generous, delicious Italian food. I only had time for a pasta dish when I last visited but I’m sure the artichokes and the fish are still as good. Slightly too rich to be healthy but so much taste...

    LOVE the old man and the sea!!
    Been here way too many times and tried several of their dishes. Never been disappointed with either the food or the service.
    You get a lot of food and for a good price! 😍

    There are several good starters, main courses and desserts. In other words, you...

    Riktigt bra - väldigt genuint och trevlig personal!

    Nice Place with a good menu. It can be useful to know that the portions are very large, so if you are Vrålhungrig, a course is enough.

    Ate their tuna for starter (sick satiating) and seafood soup for main course. Looked like the soup was untouched due to crazy large portions. Quite boring soup unfortunately, very much sand in the mussels so crunched properly! Want to try again but probably try the pasta instead, it looked very good...

    Den godaste vongolen i Stockholm har jag definitivt ätit på Den gamle och havet!

    Det här är ett riktigt favoritställe med riktigt bra förrätter, huvudrätter och givetvis efterrätter!

    Personalen är proffsig och atmosfären ä...

    Nice and charming restaurant. As Fredrik points out is förrätterna too big, it's hot right afterwards. For some strange reason, there seems to always be pretty expensive when you eat here.

    Abysmal small portion, dirty table and toilet, very disappointed 👎🏼

    Nice restaurant in an area with many nice restaurants. Good service and delicious food. The only negative was that the förrätterna might be a little big, if there is anything to complain about.

    Ate a frutti di mare! Good but somewhat boring local and tired staff. Won't go here again
