We have been generally pleased with a number of restaurants in our neighborhood (reviews forthcoming), so we didn't think it was a big risk to try another place. We headed out on our anniversary, baby carriage in tow, in search of a place that was open and had space for us and the sleeping baby.
We chose I Cinque Sensi because it fit the requirement and also had a good looking menu. With a name like Five Senses we were eager to see what they had to offer, especially given how great some of the local spots are (Rött, I'm looking at you!).
Starting with a caprese salad, the mozarella was pretty good, but the tomatoes were cold and, as a result quite mealy and flavorless. The pasta dish that Dave ordered lacked much flavor, as well, and the seared tuna had all the wrong kinds of flavor. Although the tuna appeared charred with proper grill marks, it tasted like liquid smoke and nothing else. The flavor was so overwhelming. After cutting off the outside, the already small 30 dollar portion of fish was noticeably undersized and overpriced, perhaps even by Stockholm's standards.
I am not sure that I would consider returning, although would be open to hearing what others thought of the place. Did we just come on a bad night?
One good thing is that since we were still both hungry, we didn't really feel guilty for splurging on two scoops of ice cream at the nearby ice cream shop for dessert.
