about the project

Italiy with a New York twist at Terminal 5

Little Italy by Pontus Frithiof is a modern restaurant located at Marknadsplatsen in Terminal 5 at Arlanda Airport. Here, Italian flavors meet New York-inspired casual dining in a relaxed setting. The menu spans from early breakfast to late dinner, offering hearty sandwiches, classic pizzas, pasta, and burgers. Signature dishes include ravioli “Osso Buco style,” porchetta burgers, and the Italian sandwich “schiacciata.” All food is prepared on-site by experienced chefs with the aim of being served within 5–7 minutes. The concept is a collaboration between renowned chef Pontus Frithiof and Nordrest, and marks their second joint venture at Arlanda following La Girafe.

the equipment

Perfecta's delivery

At Little Italy, we equipped the entire kitchen and bar with appliances and furnishings. Refrigerated display cases, all prep counters, as well as refrigerators and freezers in both the kitchen and bar, are from Haglund Industri. The cooking line in the kitchen is from Berto's, the oven from Rational, salamander from Palux, and the high-speed oven from XpressChef. Custom stainless steel installations were fitted in the kitchen, bar, and dishwashing area, which includes a WD7 hood-type dishwasher with heavy-duty wash function from Wexiödisk. The espresso machine is an EX3 from Crem. Heat lamps are supplied by Stayhot.

How do you choose the right combi oven for a restaurant or commercial kitchen?

The right combi oven should be chosen based on your kitchen’s capacity, menu, workflow and available space. Also consider features such as automatic cleaning, cooking programmes, energy consumption, and access to service and spare parts. For larger kitchens, several ovens in different sizes may be a better solution than one large oven.

Can Perfecta supply and install a complete restaurant kitchen?

Yes. Perfecta can supply complete restaurant kitchens with professional kitchen equipment, stainless steel furnishings, refrigeration, dishwashing equipment and ventilation, as well as coordinate assembly and installation. We work together with the customer, kitchen consultant and other project partners throughout the process – from planning and equipment selection to delivery, installation and commissioning.

What equipment does a café need?

The equipment should be tailored to the café’s menu, capacity and concept. Typically, a café needs an espresso machine and coffee grinder, refrigeration equipment, a dishwasher, an oven or high-speed oven, food preparation equipment, and refrigerated or ambient display cases. Cafés with their own food or bakery production often require a more complete kitchen tailored to their operation.

What equipment is needed in a restaurant kitchen?

It depends on the restaurant’s menu, capacity and workflow. Most restaurant kitchens need equipment for cooking, refrigeration and freezing, food preparation, dishwashing and storage. Ventilation, fire suppression systems and grease separators also need to be considered.

How much does it cost to build a restaurant kitchen?

The cost of a restaurant kitchen varies considerably depending on the size of the kitchen, its capacity, the menu and the choice of equipment. In addition to the kitchen equipment, you also need to consider costs for ventilation, fire suppression systems, installations and grease separators.
