About us
We have delicious food, wine, and location
- We are located within walking distance of Tivoli, close to the Central Station, Glyptoteket, and Kalvebod Brygge.
A small Italian family-owned restaurant (among the 10 best Italian restaurants of Gastro's in Copenhagen) with an incorporated wine shop (in Italian, "enoteca" means wine shop and "l'enoteca" means The Wine Shop) with more than 600 different labels from different years and editions—among these, more than 70 different Brunellos.
More than 90% of all the wines are from our own import, which we sell for the same prices as well-assorted wine shops in Copenhagen. The rest of our wine selection is sold at around 50% more than regular wine shop prices – or almost the same as half the normal price of other restaurants.
In other words, it’s possible to have both delicious Italian food, location, and wine at L’Enoteca, but also supreme wineat a good price.
In 2014, we were included in the Michelin Guide, and in 2017, we received our first "Excellence of Award" with a glass from Wine Spectator. In 2019, we received the second glass.
In 2017, Jennifer Russo became the first certified "Italian Wine Ambassador" in Scandinavia.
We are immensely proud that Jennifer Russo is Scandinavia’s first and still Denmark’s Vinitaly International Italian Wine Ambassador (VIA IWA) and VIA Certified Italian Wine Educator (IWEd) with a license to teach the VIA Maestro Program.
Currently there are 251 VIA Italian Wine Ambassadors or Experts in 38 countries, of which 236 hold the title of Ambassador, while only 15 have achieved the highest level of becoming an Expert. Forty-three of them have also studied to become VIA Certified IWEd. Since 2015, a total of 900 alumni have been educated, leaving a pass rate of 27.89%.
We received 1 glass in Wine Spectator’s Award Program in 2017 and 2018 and 2 glasses in 2019.
According to the magazine that ranks us among the World’s Wine Leading Restaurants.
We are very proud of this...
