about the project

Experienced team behind Nytorget’s newest hotspot

In the Nytorget neighborhood of Södermalm, Stockholm, a new building now houses a restaurant and bar, featuring expansive windows covering the entire ground floor. This is the new home of Ponti, led by Eloi Berthelin and Oskar Larsson. The duo met while working together at Babette, where they fell in love with pizza—leading them to open Galinas Pizza in Skanstull and later Schmaltz on Nybrogatan, inspired by New York’s delis.“Ponti” means “bridges” in Italian, and the concept centers on connecting the best of Italy and California, with a unique twist. It’s about bringing people, flavors, and cultures together in an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. The bar’s drinks and cocktails, along with Italian-roasted coffee, naturally follow the same theme. Step inside and let yourself be swept away for a little while.

We’ve done a few projects with Perfecta, and for us it was an easy decision to entrust them with building Ponti. Perfecta offers the reliability and expertise needed when constructing a kitchen from the ground up – from consulting on capacity, equipment selection and placement, everything turned out exactly as we envisioned. The dining room, bar, and kitchen are all efficient and functional spaces, making both staff and owners happy. Now we can focus on what we do best: cooking from scratch, excellent service, and delivering a great guest experience. A big thank you to Mikael and the team!

the equipment

Perfecta´s delivery

In this building, there’s an unusually spacious and airy open kitchen, featuring an impressively long, centerpiece workbench reinforced with titanium at the heart of the kitchen. A pizza oven from Pizzamaster and combi ovens from Eloma are joined by one of the market’s most powerful electric grills from Heidebrenner, an induction stove from Fribergs, and a fryer from FriFri. Refrigerated counters in both the bar and kitchen, a marble-topped pizza prep fridge, freezer counter, refrigerators, freezers, tall wine coolers as well as under-counter wine storage in the dining room, and a wall-mounted beer cooler in the bar — all come from Haglund Industri. A pass-through dishwasher and glass washer from Winterhalter serve the dishwashing area and bar. All stainless steel elements are custom-built, including the bartender’s station in the curved bar, water stations, and sink basins.

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.
