Umarell is a modern Italian restaurant inside Dicksonska palatset in Gothenburg. Restaurateur Oliver Ingrosso and chef Louise Johansson run it. Their shared aim is an accessible, quality dining experience in a luxurious setting, with Italian dishes at the centre of the menu. It is a place for lunch, dinner for two or a larger meal with company, rather than one tied to a single kind of occasion.

The name comes from an Italian expression for older men who stand and watch construction sites. It refers to the curiosity around the renovation of Dicksonska palatset, where the restaurant is housed. The name links Umarell to the building’s renovation, while its menu follows an Italian direction. Visit Sweden describes the cooking as top-class and the restaurant as combining casual elegance with that style of food.

The restaurant’s description welcomes spontaneous lunch visits as well as dinners and larger evenings with company. It does not specify particular dishes, so the clearest reason to go is the combination of Italian food and a restaurant inside Dicksonska palatset.
