The carbonara is the undisputed star, earning fervent praise for its rich, perfectly silky texture. The overall vibe is one of authentic, no-frills Italian comfort served with warmth and speed.
“Why carbonara cacio e pepe in Copenhagen? But why not, I'll tell you? Does it seem creamy enough? The dressing is good, the tonnarelli are good, there is a ton of pepper. The guanciale is really guanciale. They told us that when they opened this place a few years ago, in the early days they had to do some education towards the Danes because people asked themselves: Why is this carbonara so yellow? But where is the cream? Where are the mushrooms and where are the onions? You understand that they calmly sat there, explained to him how things are done well, they have the right ingredients, they get the guanciale sent from Italy… In short, it's the right stuff. And they're also teaching the people who live here how carbonara is really made. Ok, I'll give one more taste and then let's move on to the cacio e pepe.”

Carbonara
Why carbonara cacio e pepe in Copenhagen? But why not, I'll tell you? Does it seem creamy enough? The dressing is good, the tonnarelli are good, there is a ton of pepper. The guanciale is really guanciale. They told us that when they opened this place a few years ago, in the early days they had to do some education towards the Danes because people asked themselves: Why is this carbonara so yellow? But where is the cream? Where are the mushrooms and where are the onions? You understand that they calmly sat there, explained to him how things are done well, they have the right ingredients, they get the guanciale sent from Italy… In short, it's the right stuff. And they're also teaching the people who live here how carbonara is really made. Ok, I'll give one more taste and then let's move on to the cacio e pepe.
Cacio e Pepe
As regards the cacio e pepe, however, the situation is a bit different because carbonara is quite famous as a dish abroad, even if people make mistakes and use ingredients that have nothing to do with it. Instead, they told us that at the beginning people didn't really know what the cacio e pepe was because it wasn't as famous as the carbonara and therefore even there, slowly, over time, they also taught people to appreciate this dish. What poetry, guys. This is one of those dishes that, if I stay on a desert island, I'll take the cacio e pepe with me. And cacio e pepe, we've told you a thousand times, even in the recipe we made at home, is a difficult dish to make, even though it only has two ingredients. It takes a moment and you ruin the cream, uh.
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Oh well we got carried away and we also took a garlic and oil. Look how beautiful. By the way, these spaghetti are crazy stuff, guys. Made in the moment, huh. Pasta is amazing. Al dente, nice and thick, angel hair is not spaghettini. If you are in Copenhagen and suddenly miss home, now you know where to go.
