We were off to Stockholm the next day...it had been a great 4 days and we were tired of walking, eating and drinking...not to mention the best (mens') retail experience... We just wanted a simple meal...what better than a bowl of pasta washed down with some rosso We looked on line and the nearest place that looked decent was La Perla...we ordered a cab and off we went It was empty...but they were ready to serve...one lasagna and one bolog and a couple of glasses of montepulciano...and a couple of scoops of ice cream...620DK Despite them closing around us...2 others had turned up...the service was good and the food very good and just all we wanted We will remember this place for next Xmas... read more

The pasta was perfect. Good service and atmosphere. They say I need to keep talking to fill up their review

We've been here all week and have walked by it daily and finally stopped in. Glad we did. Very friendly staff and the food was great. I ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese and it was delicious. Rich and meaty sauce. Truffle paste was delicious as well. read more

Few culinary options are as situationally rewarding and hearty as a good plate of pasta. Here, I was hoping for that satisfaction that comes from that magical combination of ground beef with pasta--when prepared properly. Upon entering the restaurant, I was promptly ushered to an undesirable table, despite a sea of vacant tables present. Plates, napkins worker personal items, and more were stored inches from my head. All manner of loud crashing sounds came from the kitchen. The adventure started with me asking for a water and the waiter declaring that they would charge 10-70 cr for such and couldn't serve tap water. So I declined any drinks here. Second attempt was met with the same outcome. The pasta was not homemade, but store bought. The meat sauce had kind of a different, heavy taste to it, one I can't quite describe. While it was acceptable, hardly amongst the better I've sampled. The restaurant at 6:30pm remained empty. They didn't know what crushed red peppers are upon requesting such. My credulity is stretched as if you don't know what these are yet claim to serve pasta as they do(?), something is wrong in Denmark (pun intended). This is a tourist oriented restaurant and just isn't worthy of the high star level its reviews reflect. Overall an unpleasant experience. read more

We had high hopes when we visited this place on a Friday night for dinner; unfortunately our hopes were completely dashed :-( Despite the fact that the restaurant was less than a quarter full when we were seated, our server never brought us bread (though all the other tables in sight had some), and she never offered to either fill our water classes or take dishes away when we were done with them. She also refused to make eye contact with either of us the whole time we were there. When our order was finally placed, our food arrived 30 minutes later; it was all either burnt, under-seasoned, or completely inedible. We asked to see the manager when our check finally arrived, but apparently there wasn't one on the premises at the time! read more

Good food, but definitely a bad service by the guy who seems to be the boss an Italian guy

I've been to La Perla a couple of times in the last two weeks after discovering this hidden gem near the metro station-Kongens Nytorv stop. Nothing pretentious about it. You can view images from The Godfather and of Pavarotti on the walls while enjoying your Pasta/Pizza combo. Service can be slow if they are busy but the friendly staff and owner more than make up for it. No worries as I'm taking my time enjoying made from scratch Italian anyway. We've tried the Pesto Pasta with chicken, Seafood Diavolo Pasta, Pancetta and Seafood Pizza-all excellent! Haven't had dessert but from viewing the sweets along with the smiles at other tables -next time read more

Excellent Italian food. A bit off the main drag, small place. Great selection of dishes and wines. I got the spaghetti marinara with seafood. Lots of random shellfish thrown in, but really tasty. Nice staff, really authentic feeling. read more

Delicious food, great service, cozy atmosphere. I ordered the spinach ravioli with truffle mushroom sauce, incredible! Also, the table next to us was celebrating a birthday and they turned on a loud birthday song and brought out a ice cream sundae with a giant sparkler in it! So so fun! I would absolutely come back again! read more

The Italian comfort food place you know you'll come back to. I'm so happy I found this place, tucked away in a side street behind the Round Tower. After a disastrous customer service experience at WokShop, I found myself craving some down-to-earth, honest comfort food, like a big plate of steaming pasta. My friend and I had heard about La Perla, and decided to give it a go. When we got there, it was nearly empty, but it was a weeknight and more diners came later. My friend had a pizza, while I chose the bowlful of cream, starch, and cheese that is spaghetti carbonara. It's like a hug in a bowl! Both were delicious, the pizza has a lovely thin crust and the toppings were fresh and yum. Portions were huge, but it wasn't a problem to pack the rest up in a doggy bag - lunch, sorted! Prices are more than fair, and I know that I'll be back here before long. read more

Food and service was good. Menu was large and had classic Italian place dishes on it. We had been eating gluten free and vegan all week, so my dad and I took advantage of my mom and sister staying at home. This has the top ratings on yelp for the area, so we decided to try it. There is nothing special about this place; either food quality or ambiance. If I lived in Copenhagen, I would add this to my rotation of restaurants, but I wouldn't recommend it to fellow travelers. We had the pasta al salmone, which was cooked to am dente perfection. We had a pizza with ham al parma, gorgonzola, and artichokes. It was a little salty, but we got everything we wanted in one bite. Crust was good, but I'm partial to my thick crust/deep dish. Certainly does the job if you're looking for comfort food. read more

Good pasta and pizza in a quaint setting complete with checkered table cloths and large black and white posters of famous Italians slurping spaghetti! In the intro of their menu they claim to be the 'first Spaghetteria' in Copenhagen too! The menu is concise but the pizza flavours are definitely more up to date than their pastas. We shared a pizza with rocket and Parmesan and cherry tomatoes to start with. The pizza was nice enough with a crispy base but it wasn't really memorable - no secret special sauce in afraid. The pastas tasted great, we chose spaghetti marinara - mussels, shrimps and prawns in tomato sauce and three of us went for the spaghetti diavolo - shrimps and prawns in chilli oil. Great portions but it was just mediocre pasta dishes. Who still serves frozen shrimp?! The prawns were a bit tasteless and would've been better if it was cooked IN the chilli oil! All in all a pleasant experience but I wouldn't bother coming here again. read more

Amazing experience! Went there for early dinner on a Saturday as a group of 4. Place with very nice Italian decorations (many pictures of famous Italian celebrities, table cloths and all around decoration looks like from an Italian movie from the sixties or seventies). Staff all Italians and loved hearing them talking because it actually made us feel like in Italy. Food delicious! For starters we got vitello tonato, bruschetta and salmon with rucola. All was very good. As main course we got two kinds of pastas and two Pizza capricciosa. Again great food. All in all the experience was amazing, and it is a definitely worth a visit restaurant. Total recommend. read more

A small and charming little Italian place in the heart of Copenhagen. The carbonara is perfect comfort food during a chilly autumn storm, and the pizza is superb. A bit pricier than ideal, but the lunch deal is quite good -- especially for CPH. read more

Yum yum YUM! I was craving good Italian food because I was having withdrawal symptoms from my Italy trip, and this restaurant did not disappoint! My friend and I came here on a whim one Friday evening around 7, and had to wait about 35 minutes for a table; not a problem - we just went around the corner to Studenterhuset (Student House) for a drink! When we came back, we were seated immediately. My friend ordered the La Perla pizza, and I ordered the tagliatelle with a tomato pesto sauce, both of which were *delicious* and quite large servings! The pizza had a sweeter sauce and a good portion of seafood, and my pasta was perfectly cooked, had the right amount of sauce, and enough meat. Both of us were stuffed by the end, but persevered to polish off our food because we didn't want to waste a single bite! This wasn't the BEST Italian food I'd ever had, but it definitely hit the spot and is likely one of the best places in Copenhagen for taste, quality and price point; would recommend!! read more

I'm a us expat living in Denmark and anytime I'm craving pasta, I'm going to La Perla! I'd recommend their pasta carbonara which is amazing. The restaurant is small, but we've never had an issue getting a table. The service is always great. If you are in Copenhagen and craving some Italian food, definitely stop in. read more

Although the location and touristy clientele would damn it to be an overpriced restaurant with bland food and bad service, don't pass this place by. Even though it looked full and we had no reservation, we were seated quickly. The menu looked good and I ended up getting the house wine. *cough* Don't make the same mistake that I did; avoid it! My fettuccine with truffle and Karl Johan mushrooms (129 DKK) arrived quickly. I wasn't expecting it to come in a tomato and cream sauce (I assumed it would be a simple garlic and olive oil dressing) but it was good and the pasta had a good bite to it. Unfortunately it came at the same time as the Insalata Mista (59 DKK). Isn't it common to get the pasta after that? I didn't want my fettuccine to go cold so I started with it and ate the salad as a sort of dessert. The salad was generous; you really get your moneys worth! The tomatoes were fresh, the marinated artichokes were nice, and the balsamic dressing tied it together well. There are better Italian places in town but this place was fast, affordable, and you get quite a bit of food. If you come for lunch, you can get an even better deal. The service was good and they are very accommodating. Just don't get the house wine. read more

A very pleasant Italian place! I thoroughly enjoyed their spaghetti diavolo (pasta with shrimp and prawns), which was very tasty and surprisingly spicy by Danish standards. I even enjoyed the house red (I trust Mina's review, but perhaps their house wine changes and we got quite a good bottle). Very central location, and although I've been past this street many times, I had never noticed this restaurant before. Came at the recommendation of a friend, and very happy I did. The service was nice, food came fast, and most importantly the food tasted good. Prices were very reasonable too. La Perla is bright and clean, but nothing special about its atmosphere or decor. If you want more ambiance and a very cozy setting, then La Vecchia Signora gets my vote. read more

Quaint little bistro close to the city center. My friend and I stopped by for a late lunch around 2 and it wasn't too crowded. We were able to take advantage of the lunch deal that goes from 12 - 4 pm, where the majority of pasta and pizza were 79kr. The checkered table cloth and setup was so cute and definitely reminded me of Italy. Food wise, I have not been to Italy but could tell that they were different from a chain place. We got the Orecchiette al Filetto - small hat shaped pasta with pepper sauce and pieces of tenderloin. It was the first time I had something like this and it was definitely a welcoming experience. The sauce had little green peppercorns inside, and it was just the right amount of creaminess. We also ordered the Pancetta e Tarfuto - pizza with black truffle, pancetta and white truffle oil. The pancetta made the pizza quite salty to me so it was an interesting taste. We finished with an affogato - ice cream with espresso drizzled on top. The portion was big so I was glad we only ordered one. And it was really tasty. Overall, I'd give this place about 3.75 star but rounded it up to 4. We didn't enjoy the pizza as much but it'd probably because of our choice. Wish I could have returned and tried more stuffs. read more

The other reviews were spot on - the best Italian in Copenhagen. Don't even try Mama Rosas. Spend the money and come here! I had lunch and it was excellent - they have an 80kr lunch special with one pizza or one pasta plus a salad. The pizza was thin, hot and fresh. The caprese salad had good mozzarella cheese and fresh tomatoes. It's worth the cab fare from the tourist zone, as the prices are substantially cheaper than eating down in tourist town. The best Italian in Copenhagen! read more

This little gem was just what I was looking for. We spent the chilly holiday season in Europe and unfortunately I caught a cold. We were strolling around Copenhagen and I had a craving for a nice hot bowl of pasta. We found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. It turned out to be a real dark horse of the trip - one of our favorite meals. It's a charming place with window tables with checkered table clothes and fun photos of people eating pasta. I ordered tomato soup and spaghetti bolonese for lunch and my wife had pizza and a salad. The food was warm and yummy and exactly what I needed. We had a lot of great meals on the trip - everything for trendy Nordic fusion to old school French - but this little Italian place in Copenhagen has a special place in my memory. read more

This place is simply superb in taste, I ordered a spaghetti with shrimp and seafood and my friend ordered some other type of vegetarian pasta which has pesto in it.
