The best Italian food in Sweden, according to the experts: 50 Top Pizza, the White Guide, and the Michelin Guide have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Babette comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Gothenburg and Örebro.

Trattoria La Strega and Tavolo hold the next two places. The White Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with the Michelin Guide next.

Rank 1. Babette
Roman
Stockholm doesn't have many spots where you'll step over a dog to reach your table, but Babette, a neighborhood pizza joint on Roslagsgatan, pulls it off with charm. The pizza is Roman-style, thin and crispy with restrained toppings, and the small plates shift with the season. A Michelin Bib Gourmand and a spot on 50 Top Pizza World keep the room packed, so lean in, order a glass from the decent wine list, and make friends with your neighbors.

Rank 3. Tavolo
Italian
A giant copy of Leonardo's horse sculpture watches over the bar of this Italian restaurant, which is a reminder that the building was a military stable before someone had better ideas for it. The open kitchen turns out homemade pasta, pizza, and meat dishes for a crowd that comes as much for cocktails and the converted-stable atmosphere as for the food itself.

Rank 13. La Cucina Italiana
Italian
Eight tables is all this cosy Italian restaurant on Skånegatan has ever needed. The family is Neapolitan, and the cooking follows, running toward the rich, southern end of the Italian repertoire with seasonal dishes that change as the markets do. A childhood friend runs the floor while the chef runs the kitchen, which gives the whole room a feeling of a dinner party where you happened to buy a ticket.

Rank 14. 450 Gradi
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A wood-fired Neapolitan pizzeria on the island of Lidingö, sitting in the old AGA industrial area with water views that do most of the decorating. The dough is the project: light, high-crusted, and built for digestion, cooked at the 450 degrees the name promises. Some pies lean Naples, others lean Nordic, and the version with Kalix vendace roe and dill is the kind of menu decision that shouldn't work and does. Artisanal gelato and a full Italian menu round it out.
