This family-owned trattoria, specialising in the cuisine of northern Italy, is still one of the best-kept secrets in the city. Centrally located on Dronningens Tværgade near leading hotels and the Kongens Have gardens (perfect for a post-dinner stroll). The three- and four-course menus are fairly priced and the staff’s expertise with wine will impress any oenophile. Casa d’Antino was honoured in 2003 with Wine Spectator magazine’s Award of Excellence.

 

This authentic, relaxed Italian pizza and pasta joint walks a fine line between cosy and cramped. Although the brick oven-fired pizzas are divine, be prepared to sacrifice a lot of elbow room for the pleasure of eating here. The [name] itself, La Vecchia Signora (The Old Lady), is a loving reference to the grand old dame of Italian football Juventus, and the theme bears out throughout the interior. Reservations recommended. Good for solo eating.

 

Discover amore on a quiet street in Frederiksberg. This quaint trattoria is one of a number of premium gourmet eateries on Godthåbsvej and enjoys a loyal following among city gourmands. The four-course red wine and white wine menus change each month and focus on the cuisine of a specific Italian region—an excellent place for an intimate date. Service in English and Italian.

 

The bacchanalian spirit is alive and well at posh Era Ora, the finest Italian restaurant in town, situated right on the Christianshavn canals. The finest ingredients are shipped in fresh from Italy and the kitchen uses no butter or cream, only olive oil. An absolute feast for the senses—every meal is an event to remember.
