We had a craving for Italian food and after reading a few reviews booked a reservation at…read moreRistorante Italiano. When we arrived early there were quite a few open seats and staff had no problem seating us. We could've sat outdoors and listened to a guitarist but opted for inside. The decor was rustic and almost every inch of the wall was covered with something. Even the ceilings were painted. Service was quite good. Attentive and fast. Our section of the restaurant was quiet. However, I felt a little sorry for one server as the couple behind us kept complaining through most of their meal and eventually had to moved due to sounds they kept hearing through the wall. We didn't hear anything. Bread service was included and each slice was soft and helped us finish off the remaining bit of sauces from our pasta. My salmon pasta was quite generous with the amount of salmon chunks. The sauce was distinct creamy tomato and mixed well with the al dente pasta. My SO's mushroom tagliatelle had a nice mix of mushrooms and rich flavor. Dinner was quite filling and we couldn't fit in dessert. Would come back again should we be back in Copenhagen.

When I saw how packed it was I knew it must live up to the hype but I was super disappointed with the experience. I was sat and served bread and upon my 3rd bite of bread I noticed it super tasted like perfume or soap. Hmmmm that's odd I tried another piece and the same thing, I spit it out. In that moment I lost trust, before my main dish even arrived. When the carbonara did arrive , to my extreme disappointment it literally had no flavor what so ever. Not one seasoning was added to this dish. I only ate about 3 bites and asked for the check. The server asked if i wanted something else but at this point i just wanted to go home. They charged me in full. I walked home in disappointment on my last night in this beautiful city filled with great food. The end.

I am not, when in that state, easy to please and it is that understanding that boosts the rating to its fifth star. I can only imagine how much I would enjoy the spot if I'd been feeling better and hadn't started dinner with a headache. My disgustingly American self does wish they'd had air conditioning, but that's sort of silly in a place with weather like that, I'd just chosen to visit while it was unseasonably warm. While the waitress, a bouncy young woman whose flawless English was a blessing, given my state, did indeed inquire about champers and recommend the five plate prix fixe, I elected to drink about a liter and a half of water and stick to three courses instead. In better shape, I'd recommend all five, given how good the ones I had turned out to be. The carafe was filled with tap water, a less expensive option than bottled, certainly, and the city water is excellent quality, albeit harder than I find particularly tasty. My first course was a delicious little salad with fresh greens and bits of meat and crunchy breadcrumbs, with a bit of balsamic and olive oil and a touch of some sort of crema. The second was an exquisite tuna steak with cherry tomatoes and capers and some deliciously tender asparagus. The dessert was a sort of reinterpretation of strawberry shortcake, with buttery cookie and lovely strawberry gelato sprinkled with a fascinating, colorful sort of crunch I never did identify. I have every intention of going back the next time I'm in town and trying a few more things, especially since the menu changes regularly, to keep one from being bored.

Anyway, today I went for brunch and found that it wasn't anything to write home about - so I'll write here instead :-P Our orders were taken and our coffee and cold drinks arrived swiftly, and we only had to wait a short while longer for our brunch. We were halfway through the platter, though, before the bread arrived, along with an apology about having forgotten to bring it - what distracted them I don't know, since there were only three or four other guests around, including those outside. On the plate was a crepe, two types of cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, fried mini sausages, one slice each of cured ham and two kinds of salami, an olive, capers, semi-dried tomatoes, a piece of pickled artichoke, a baby pepper stuffed with a mini ball of mozzarella, two slices of orange, a slice of melon and one of pineapple. In addition, there would have been a glass of yoghurt if we hadn't seen it on some other guests plate and asked them to leave it out - no point in wasting food when my partner in crime had already had her yoghurt this morning and I tend to not eat it anyway. On the side were two small bowls, one containing more butter than you can shake a fist at, the other maple syrup for the pancakes. And as mentioned above we also had bread at some point. Anyway, the coffee was average. Not bad, no off flavours, but also nothing that set it apart from any other mediocre cup of espresso. Kind of like the Nespresso machine we have at the office, except I like some of the varieties of Nespresso better. The brunch platter didn't fare much better. Some of the things on the plate looked a little dry along one or more edges, like they'd been cut too long ago and left waiting. The mini sausages were bland - I'm guessing cheapest brand they could find. Cold cuts clearly pre-sliced from a flat pack, giving most of the whichever flavour it may have had plenty of time to vanish into thin air, and again I'm guessing cheapest brand available. That actually goes for pretty much everything that was on the plate. Of course there's nothing wrong with cheap, and at DKK 79,- for a brunch platter you shouldn't expect outstanding quality, but for me going out for brunch is as much about having a nice treat as it is about having someone else take care of the logistics - and while we could leave the plates on the table and walk out the door and not worry about those the food itself didn't really feel like a treat.

This was one of the more underwhelming dining experiences I've had. The restaurant space and service were great, but nothing we ate there was good. For started we got the garlic bread with stracciatella. This was the best item we had and it was just ok. For pizza we did the basic tomato and cheese as well as the mushroom. The mushroom was ok, but t didnt really hit the spot. The Tomato and Mozzarella was terrible. It was covered in sauce to the point anytime you bit into it, a glob would splatter down on my plate. The sauce itself was not particularly tasty either. I found it too tart which was only emphasized by the amount they used. I was disappointed because you could tell the dough they used was quite nice, just was not able to make up for the rest of the pizza. Lastly, for a meal like this, I truly feel like we overpaid.

This joint is run by an Italian family, yes, from Italy, and they've been here since 1992. I ordered their "La Fiorita" pizza for takeway (to go). It's topped with ham, artichokes, pepperoni, bell peppers, and shrimp. It's got nice tomato sauce and mozarella on a thin crust. These slices are thin! I've never been to NY but I hear that that's how they're supposed to be. The pizza was hot, fresh, and rather tasty. All of their pizzas are made fresh and to order, so if you're going to eat or takeaway then you will wait few minutes. There are no short cuts here. Please be aware that the menu is in Danish but you may spot a familiar word here and there. If all else fails whip out the Google Translate APP and have do the work for you by scanning over the text. I will most likely be back before the end of my trip.

I appreciate immensely the intent of innovating a recipe, I admire it, but unfortunately sometimes it doesn't work. And this is one of those times. I tried many Calzoni, we can say that I'm a fan of that kind of pizza and this one was probably one of the most stuffing ones. Very pretty to look at and very innovative but way too stuffing. The reason why is because on the inside of this calzone you find a sauce with meat. Calzone is already pretty filling itself so no need to add another complex animal protein like red meat (when there is already mozzarella btw) and make it even more heavy on your stomach. Anyway the pizza dough was definitely decent, nothing to say about that. Looking forward to try new pizzas and their pasta also because they have a very interesting deal of 100DKK for a dish plus a beverage. Great stuff. Will go back for sure. But for now the calzone did no live up to the expectations.
