I generally don’t do written reviews because I find them boring, but here is one of @levi_cph so you can understand why its my favorite non Michelin starred restaurant in Copenhagen, and a recommendation to anyone either living in the city or visiting. Link below, here a short teaser.
The Food
Saving the best for last, because when you go to a restaurant, you go there for what’s on the plate. The kitchen is led by the Sicilian chef Gabriele Rizzo @gabrieleri1212 who has a background in the world’s best restaurant and also had his own shop, Haidan. And the food here is absurdly good, mixing Japanese flavors like shoyu, yuzu, ponzu and wasabi with his italian heritage, all dishes are booming with flavor and the presentation is elegant and restrained. Of course, he cannot be an Italian chef without serving pastas - and the pasta at Levi are the best I’ve ever had. My all time favorite is the rabbit ragout which is out of this world, but whether the king crab, langoustine or truffle ravioli - they are all booming with flavor and novel combinations with respect for traditions but desire for innovation based on the highest quality products. Oh, and the wagyu arrancini is maybe a top 3 bite in Copenhagen and the pistachio ice cream is nothing less than the world’s best. And to me, the food at Levi surpasses several of the Michelin starred restaurants in Copenhagen, but I guess that’s not a conversation we are having.
Go to Levi, leave a little drunk with a full belly and happy heart.
