5 New Italian Restaurants in Stockholm

At the recently reopened Bio Skandia on Drottninggatan in central Stockholm, Bar Lido is the iconic cinema’s new bar, pairing Italian small plates with a carefully curated wine list focused on artisanal producers. The name nods both to the Stockholm International Film Festival’s original film club and to the Lido di Venezia, long associated with the world’s oldest film festival. The fact that the historic cinema, designed by renowned architect Gunnar Asplund in the 1920s, also carries traces of that same legacy adds an extra layer of resonance. The result is a new hangout that works just as well before or after a screening as it does for a drink in its own right.
