The best Italian food in Denmark, according to the experts: the White Guide, the Michelin Guide, and The 50 have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Enomania comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Copenhagen.
More Less
Graziano and Paesàno hold the next two places. The White Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with 50 Top Pizza next.

Rank 1. Enomania
Italian
The name translates to "wine mania," and with over a thousand bottles leaning heavily on Burgundy and Piedmont, the obsession is well-documented. This unfussy Italian trattoria on Vesterbrogade holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and runs a weekly changing menu of straightforward, tradition-respecting dishes, the kind where creamy mushroom risotto arrives alongside braised wild boar. There's a wine cellar for tastings, and regulars who never need to see the list.

Rank 1. Graziano
Tuscan
Wine racks and boxes cover the walls at this snug Italian trattoria, and everything in the glass is from the peninsula. The menu is built around the chef's grandfather's Tuscan recipes, which means this is a place where the food has a face and a family story attached. Tables are close enough that you'll know your neighbour's order, and the service feels like it. The Michelin Guide picked it up with a Bib Gourmand.

Rank 4. Barabba
Modern Italian
A giant neon sign glows over tables spilling onto Store Kongensgade, which is either a great omen or a very Italian use of electricity. Barabba is a modern Italian restaurant where three friends serve a classic four-course dinner, though you can also share a few plates or push through to an eight-course tasting menu. The room is stylishly spare, the cooking is confident, and the vibe is unmistakably a guaranteed good time.

Rank 12. MaMeMi
Roman
Roman-style pizza in the Vesterbro neighborhood, thin-crusted and cooked consistently, with a menu that reads like a tour of the trattoria classics: carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, all reinterpreted as pizza. It ranks on 50 Top Pizza Europe, for what that's worth to the people who track such things. Outdoor tables appear in summer, service is low-key and responsive, and the appetizers tend to surprise.

Rank 13. Flere Fugle
Pizzeria
A pizza spot in Copenhagen's Nørrebro-adjacent northwest that runs from morning coffee through late dinner, Flere Fugle does something modest and slightly absurd: it leans Nordic on a form that is already Italian, so you end up with red beetroot and goat cheese on your pizza and somehow it makes sense. The room is big and Scandinavian-spare, and the garden out back has a leafy, unhurried quality that the city's summer rewards generously.

Rank 13. Little Brother
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A Neapolitan pizza spot staffed largely by young Italians, Neapolitans among them, which goes some way toward explaining why the cornicione here rises the way it should. Little Brother is compact and cozy, the kind of room that fills up with chatter fast. The menu runs from faithful classics to a few more inventive combinations, all built on decent ingredients. Listed among 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias.

Rank 13. Pizzeria Luca
Pizzeria
A canal-side pizzeria on one of Copenhagen's oldest waterfronts, Pizzeria Luca runs an open kitchen that gives the room the easy hum of an Italian tavern. The dough ferments long enough to give the crust real presence without weighing you down, and the menu moves between Roman classics and more adventurous combinations. Italian wine, good beer, and tiramisu round things out sensibly.
