If Swedish meatballs make you think Ikea, think again, says Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila. Here’s what she also had to say about AK Restaurant + Bar in Venice, where chef Conny Andersson is serving up Scandinavian classics -- and more:
Andersson is a seasoned chef, and it showed even in the first week, when the kitchen performed as if the place had been open for months, not days. That may seem like a small thing, but as new restaurants go lately, it’s major. He has also hired an excellent staff -- from the front of the house to the sommelier, servers and runners. No worries: You can just sit back and enjoy the experience.
Virbila gives it 2 1/2 stars. Here’s a photo gallery look at the restaurant, and its signature dishes.
