When you reach the primi (pasta) portion of your menu selections, ravioli is often one of the choices. Reviewers have declared the ravioli at Spuntino as the best they've ever tasted — even ranking it above five-star hotels. The pasta is thin, the filling is generous and well-balanced, and the sauce is light enough to let the filling shine. This is a must-order dish.
Tips from diners
Always choose ravioli if it's one of the pasta options available that night — it's the best pasta on the rotation.
The arancini are a reliable choice from Spuntino's antipasti menu, appearing regularly as a first course option. Golden and crispy on the outside, the interior reveals warm risotto with hidden pockets of melted mozzarella and flavorful ragù. Multiple reviewers call out the arancini as excellent. Each ball is perfect for serving family-style on a shared plate.
Tips from diners
Choose arancini as one of your two antipasti options — it's reliable and shows what the kitchen can do.
Tiramisu is a frequent dolci (dessert) choice on the Spuntino menu. Reviewers describe it as creamy, luscious, and full of authentic Italian flavor. The combination of espresso-dipped ladyfingers, sweetened mascarpone, and dusted cocoa creates a balanced dessert that's neither too sweet nor too bitter. This is comfort food that makes sense after a family-style meal.
Tips from diners
Choose tiramisu if it's available — it's made well and pairs beautifully with the rest of the meal.
Spuntino's commitment to organic and local sourcing shines in the linguine dish. The pasta is housemade, and the sauce varies by season — it might feature fresh tomatoes in summer, mushrooms in fall, or seasonal greens throughout the year. This is Italian cooking grounded in what's available and good right now.
Tips from diners
Ask your server what sauce is being used in the linguine tonight — it changes completely with the season.
The secondi course offers you a choice from the available mains for that night. It might be organic beef, roasted chicken, grilled fish, or braised meat. Whatever arrives is sourced locally when possible, cooked carefully, and served on a shared platter with seasonal roasted vegetables. You pick which secondi appeals to you when ordering.
Tips from diners
Call ahead if you have strong preferences — the staff can tell you what secondi is being served and help you decide.
Spuntino opened in 2014 as part of Copenhagen Food Collective (Cofoco), bringing authentic Italian dining to Vesterbro. The restaurant is designed around the concept of family gathering: diners sit at long tables in an Italian courtyard aesthetic with warm lighting and greenery. The menu features a 5-course prix fixe where guests select from 10 choices — two antipasti, two primi (first pasta), two more primi, two secondi (mains), and two dolci (desserts). Everything is made with organic and locally-sourced ingredients prepared the classical Italian way, then served family-style on platters meant for sharing. The vibe is casual, the value is remarkable, and the focus is squarely on eating with others.
The 350 DKK prix fixe is the current price (check the website for updates) and includes 5 courses with 10 choices. That works out to 70 DKK per course — remarkable value for organic, locally-sourced Italian cooking.
Spuntino is designed for groups — book a table for your crew and share everything. The family-style platters are meant for passing around.
Book ahead, especially Friday-Saturday — the restaurant seats 50 guests on one floor and fills quickly with locals.
Last arrivals are 20:45 Sun-Thu and 21:15 Fri-Sat — arrive on time, as the kitchen closes at set times regardless of reservation.
