A Danish friend confided that whenever his wife discovers he's been cheating on her, he always takes her for dinner here -- "and all is forgiven." This reminder of the "Golden Age" is on virtually everyone's list as the very best Italian restaurant in Denmark and is one of the best restaurants in Copenhagen. Established in 1982 by Tuscan-born partners Edelvita Santos and Elvio Milleri, it offers an antique-looking dining room, with additional seating for parties of up to 12 in the wine cellar. The cuisine is based on Tuscan and Umbrian models, with sophisticated variations inspired by Denmark's superb array of fresh seafood and produce. Traditional favorites include a platter of 10 types of antipasti, arguably the best version of these Italian hors d'oeuvres in the country. The menu offers a mouthwatering array of classics combined with more imaginative dishes created by the produce of the season and the inspiration of the highly skilled chefs. Dishes have subtle flavorings and "sing" in harmony when ingredients are mixed. The chefs continue to invent and reinvent flavor combinations with a wizardry that's nothing short of staggering.
Their homemade pastas, with the town's most savory Italian sauces, are freshly made each day -- and are succulent. In autumn, the rack of venison is justifiably praised by food critics, and the veal dishes are the best we've sampled in Copenhagen.
