Tasting Italy in Copenhagen
Copenhagen counts an almost infinite number of "Italian" restaurants.
Some of them are authentic, some of them aren't: beware of embarassing spelling mistakes: run as fast as you can from any "PIZZARIA" and when in doubt make sure to go carefully through their menu.
I was just disgusted when I read of a calzone containing spaghetti... I guess some genius was just trying too hard that day:
-So... Italian restaurants should have pizza...
-...and spaghetti...
-Great idea: let's bake spaghetti inside the pizza!
Don't get me wrong: I am the most tolerant person, but please don't mess Italian food up like that (and keep your ketchup bottle far away from your pasta).
But I must say that it is indeed possible to find a good number of top-notch Italian restaurants here if you want to treat yourself.
A couple of weeks ago I had a friend visiting and wanted to take her out for dinner in town - this is how we discovered Vespa.
And it was a lucky find for we enjoyed a delicious dinner in the heart of Copenhagen (the queen's residence is just around the corner) in a very lively atmosphere!
We had a 4 courses dinner, very simple yet excellent both in taste and look:

Antipasti misti
Pappa al pomodoro
Tagliata di manzo con insalata e patate
Panna cotta
The price was also very student-friendly: 250 DKK (34 EUR / 44 USD) for this menu (wine not included).
I really think I will show up there again soon.

Alcuni sono autentici, altri meno, già le insegne molto spesso dicono tutto: "PIZZARIA", per non parlare dei menu.
Sono rimasta davvero disgustata quando ho letto su un menu di un calzone farcito di spaghetti... non c'è che dire, davvero un'idea geniale:
-Allora... facciamo un ristorante italiano perciò facciamo delle pizze
-...e della pasta...
-Che idea: una pizza con dentro la pasta!
Forse esagero, ma una cosa che davvero non sopporto è quando storpiano il cibo italiano cosí (e per favore tenete la bottiglia di ketchup ben lontana dal vostro piatto di pasta).
C'è comunque da dire che i ristoranti italiani di prima scelta non mancano.
Un'amica è passata a trovarmi a Copenhagen un paio di settimane fa e abbiamo deciso di andare a cena in centro - cosí abbiamo scoperto Vespa.
Ed è stata una scoperta molto fortunata, perché abbiamo passato un bellissima serata in questo locale molto vivace.
Abbiamo assaggiato un menu da 4 portate, molto semplice ma dall'aspetto davvero eccellente, per non parlare del gusto:
Antipasti misti
Pappa al pomodoro
Tagliata di manzo con insalata e patate
Panna cotta
Devo anche dire che il prezzo era ottimo, soprattutto per me che presto torno ad essere una studentessa: 250 DKK (34 EUR / 44 USD) per il menu (vino escluso).
Credo che ci ritornerò sicuramente, e anche abbastanza presto!
