The Best Restaurants And Hotels In Copenhagen

"Bowls of creamy pasta, crispy guanciale, and shots of limoncello – Rufino is certainly not the place to go if you’re looking for something light. It is, however, one of the best restaurants to visit on an autumn evening in Copenhagen, when the hyggligt atmosphere of the cellar location really complements the kitchen’s comfort food. Rufino feels like it could tip over into a party at any point, and if you stop by, there’s a good chance that shots of limoncello will appear at the table, poured by the chef and served with a hand waving away any feeble protests. It’s a place that does a few things but does them extraordinarily well, with honorable mention going to the ragù and carbonara with guanciale." - sorcha mccrory

Very delicious food. Went there of a special occasion and had a great evening. We could watch the chefs prepare the food in the kitchen. Food was delivered with a super friendly service. We booked a table a few hours in advance, would definitely recommend a doing that. The tortellini with beetroot and goat cheese and the gnocchi with squid were amazing. But the dessert was beyond amazing. Loved the atmosphere also.

We visited this intimate, traditional restaurant and had a truly wonderful experience. The open kitchen adds a special touch and lets you appreciate the care that goes into every dish. We tried the spaghetti and fettuccine with wild boar ragù — absolutely excellent, with genuine, well-balanced flavors. The atmosphere is warm and family-like, and the staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. A place that radiates authenticity and comfort: highly recommended!

Lovely restaurant. We managed to get a table without having a reservation. Food is excellent and their wine list is eclectic. Service was great, especially in light of the fact that they were dealing very very politely with one of the rudest customers we have seen in ages who was pushing really hard to get wine for free. They were much much more polite than the woman deserved. Total kudos to this restaurant.

I went here on a whim as it was closer than the restaurant I had originally picked out on a rainy evening after a long day at a conference. I'm so glad I went. The zucca (pumpkin) was one of the best appetizers I've ever had. I don't know how they got it so crispy on the outside yet soft inside and it was paired with perfect flavors of sage an parmesan. I love orange wines and always order them when I see them and the waitress helped me select between two with a quick tasting. The duck rage was wonderful and the goat cheese cheesecake with the figs was absolutely incredible. The one hiccup I had was that I waited in the foyer long enough befire someone acknowledged me that I considered leaving. A lot of people do the tasting menu and I think I walked in just as they were serving multiple courses to multiple tables, but a smile from someone initially would have made me feel welcome. But no matter, I'm so glad I stayed and had that delicious experience. Highly recommend!

Small establishment. Good food that is inspired by regions like Sardinia and Napoli. Their whole cancellation fees and possible lateness fee along with the rigid protocols was stressful. They did accomodoate our lateness after we contacted them way ahead of time. We had a breadbasket, antipasti,two pastas, two wines, an espresso and a tiramisu. Bill was 995kr. It was worth it for Copenhagen standards as they seem to make sharing possible etc. They split our pasta into two small portions for easy and warm sharing. I do wish the tiramisu had more savoiardi but it was decadent nonethless.

Great food and service! A friend recommended it, and it delivered. My favourites from the tasting menu were the pumpkin, veal tongue & duck ragu pasta.

Oh dear, second time back here. The food is addictive. The cheese sauce, atmosphere, service - all amazing! Prices are reasonable and the service is Quick. Safe to say, we cleaned our plates 😂 You wont regret this!

Super cozy restaurant with amazing staff. By far our favorite restaurant in Copenhagen. We did the tasting menu and were so happy we did. You will not leave hungry. Everything was so fresh and I loved that they explain every dish they presented. I will definitely be back.

One of the best meals my husband and I have ever had. We stumbled upon this place and were so impressed. 10 stars. Cozy and authentic atmosphere, passionate waitstaff and chefs with great senses of humor. The tasting menu was perfectly curated, fresh, beautiful, diverse, and left us STUFFED and so happy. The flavors of everything were delicate but also exciting and punchy when they needed to be. Even the bread basket was THE BEST we have ever had. My advice to those going there is to taste everything with an open mind and don't go in with the expectation of spaghetti and meatballs. Allow yourself to experience Italian food differently. For those reviews upset with the pricing, the pricing absolutely 100% matches the quality and the effort. If anything, the price should be higher. Maybe because we are from California, we are used to the pricing but this would easily be a $100-125 USD tasting menu (~634-800 DKK).

Apparently you need reservations here. A tiny hole in the wall restaurant, i came looking for a good tiramisu and was not disappointed at all. They seated me on the kitchen table where i could see the chefs at work. They explain what goes into the food when they serve it. They have a limited menu but every plate looked sumptuous. I would definitely have ordered the bread if I wasn't visiting solo. Food was top notch. The one star off is for the price overall

What a great experience! Cute little place with the kitchen as the focal point. We made a reso online and arrive early, the host sat us at a great table. The chick pea appetizer and meatballs were tasty, then my wife and I each shared two pasta dishes, each split into two servings by our awesome server. We had the house wine as tiramisu for dessert. The owner worked the room and stopped by the table. What we loved...each dish was presented by the staff as it hit the table with a summary of ingredients. My wife is Sicilian, so her standards are high and this place delivered. Be sure to make a reservation. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable dining experience. Groups of more than 5 get the tasting menu. We sat at a rustic wooden table and enjoyed plate after plate of carefully prepared Italian dishes and delicious wine, recommended by our server. Each dish was introduced in detail and with great pride. We were transported to the old country with great ambiance and delicious food... all the way to the tiramisu. I love the chalkboard: "No non-alcoholic beer" lol.

Casual trattoria with medium sized portions. The red sauce was excellent the gnocchi not so much. They were pasty and the pesto was lacking zip. Service was fine.

Service is condescending and snotty. Plus they upsell the wine so your bill is way more than it needs to be. Food is marginal. There are so b me any great places to eat in København, try Them instead!!

unimpressed. first thing you see when you walk in is a chalkboard which spells out what they don't do. They left off provide good service. Not a good experience. Food is fine, but atmosphere is lacking and arrogance is in abundance.

Authentic Italian food with a typical Roman twist in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. A vegetarian option is not always in the menu however, the staff is very accommodating and they tend to figure something out to satisfy different needs. The tiramisù with pistacchio is absolutely delicious, it must be tasted!

Had a excellent diner with my two brother's and mother. We chose the mixed starters, which six small dishes ranging from good to absolute fantastic. I chose the gnocchi with musles, which was very good indeed. For the two days first courses we had an excellent white wine that the waiter and my brother (who fancy himself a bit of a wine buff) chose. Afterwards we had a second dish, which was rabbit. I haven't tried it before, so can't compare it. But it was great, tender and moist. We had a bottle of great red wine to wash the rabbit down. Afterwards we had a pistachio tiramisu with some very fine asti sparkling wine. To finish it all off the best limoncello I have tried, made from green lemons, made in amalfi. The service was excellent, would recommended to everyone.

Easily one of the best Italian restaurants in town. Down to earth. Simple. Full of tradition.
