Sixteen pizzas and a Sardinian wine list on Grønnegade — the broad Italian, not the narrow one.

The menu is long, and that is the point: sixteen pizzas, handmade pasta, fish and meat. This is the broad Italian restaurant, not the nerdy pizza bar with three options.
Marinara without mozzarella costs 149 kroner, margherita 155, Ai Funghi with mushrooms and garlic oil 165 and Del Golfo with seafood 185. Extra toppings are 15 kroner. If you want something else, ravioli with ricotta in butter and sage is 165, lasagne 165 and a beef tenderloin in green pepper sauce 325.
The house has appeared in the Gambero Rosso guide in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2023 and 2024. The wine list leans heavily on Sardinia with several Vermentinos from Cantina Su'entu and Santadi.
Open every day, but the kitchen breaks between four and five, and food is served until ten.
