One year has passed since Umarell opened its doors at Dicksonska Palatset in Gothenburg. Since opening, the restaurant has established itself as a natural part of the palace, with Italian flavours, a lively atmosphere and a setting where history meets modern-day Gothenburg.
Behind Umarell are Oliver Ingrosso and Louise Johansson, who together have created a restaurant where a love of Italian cuisine is at the heart of everything. The experience is about more than dinner. It is about gathering around the table, sharing dishes and allowing the evening to take its time.
Since opening, the kitchen at Umarell has drawn inspiration from different parts of Italy. Pasta, carefully selected ingredients and classic Italian flavours are combined with the kitchen’s own expressions and ideas.
The menu is created to be discovered together. Guests can choose their own favourites or let the kitchen put together the experience through the Nonna menu, where a selection of dishes is served for the whole table to share.
Throughout the first year, the menu has changed with the seasons while Umarell’s Italian identity has remained the common thread.
A large part of the experience is the setting. Umarell is located inside Dicksonska Palatset in Gothenburg, where the grand 19th-century surroundings provide a unique setting for the restaurant.
High ceilings, large mirrors, crystal chandeliers and historic details meet modern restaurant life. The contrast between the historic palace and the relaxed Italian atmosphere has become an important part of Umarell’s character.
There is room for everything from a spontaneous drink and a few smaller dishes to long dinners where several dishes are shared around the table.
Above all, Umarell’s first year has been about the people who have filled the restaurant evening after evening.
Birthdays have been celebrated, bottles have been opened, pasta has been shared and new memories have been created around the tables. For the team behind Umarell, the first year has marked the beginning of the restaurant and meeting place they envisioned from the start.
One year later, the journey continues.

A year of pasta, people, late nights and memorable dinners at Dicksonska Palatset. Now Umarell’s second year begins.
