Italian Restaurant
Vicino
Rome, Paris, and the small but oh-so-charming Karlstad. Our philosophy is infused with the modern Italian cuisine, or as some would describe it, Neo-Italian. With our passion for food and wine, we strive to offer you an experience beyond the ordinary.

September 30
Champagne dinner
On Wednesday, 30 September, we welcome winemaker Florent Collet from Famille Collet in Champagne to Hotel Fratelli and Restaurant Vicino for an evening with champagne at the heart of every course.
Together with wine importer Thomas Pennerud, Florent will guide us through the evening’s champagnes, sharing the craftsmanship, winemaking and passion behind each bottle. Our kitchen team has created a four-course menu, with each dish paired with carefully selected champagnes.

Vicino
Evenings at Vicino are back, with modern Italy at the heart of it all – and plenty of reasons to sit down and stay a little longer.
In the kitchen, Italian flavours, carefully prepared dishes and thoughtfully selected ingredients await. In the glass, we take you on a journey through Italy, with a wine list where well-known classics meet smaller producers and new discoveries.
Dinner here is meant to take its time. Start with something good in your glass, share a few dishes around the table and let the conversation continue long after the last plate has been cleared. Come for the food, stay for the wine and the feeling of an evening in Italy.
Book your table and welcome to Vicino.

Tasty experiences
We aim to offer you a gastronomic experience beyond the ordinary. Our food is not just a taste experience but also a journey through local and international ingredients. We value honesty in cooking and prefer local products wherever possible. When the weather allows, our Värmland vegetables, meat from Finnmarken, and oysters from the West Coast join in to create your experience. Every meal is an opportunity for us to present the best of the best.

Wine passion
Everything is changing, ‘new’ grapes, new production methods, new aging techniques. Wine is in constant evolution, and we want to be part of this change. Our ambition is to have a list where most of the wines are from producers close to us. By that, we mean mostly Europe, with a bit of North America also represented, but mostly winegrowers on our side of the Atlantic. The wine should clearly reflect its terroir. he selection on our list is characterized by new styles, grape varieties, and an ambition to offer even the most knowledgeable wine enthusiasts something new to try.
