Masseria

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Taste of Italy in the Heart of Kødbyen

Nestled on Flæsketorvet in Copenhagen's vibrant Meatpacking District, Masseria is a welcome contrast to the area's typically raw and raucous energy. Part of the Sovino Group, this Italian restaurant and pasta bar has carved out its own identity — one defined by warm hospitality, handmade Sicilian ceramics, and a genuine love of Italian cuisine. The result is an atmosphere that feels both convivial and quietly refined, with a warm interior of wood, plants, and large windows framing an open kitchen and a visible pasta laboratory.

Handcrafted Italian Cuisine, Course by Course

At the heart of Masseria is its dedication to Italian cuisine, executed with care and creativity. The pasta menu is a particular highlight: silky Spaghetto with shrimp Cacio e Pepe is seasoned with aged pecorino, black pepper, and lime zest, while the Gnocchetto al Ragú pairs soft dumplings with venison ragú and a juniper béchamel. The Rigatoni al Nero di Seppia, finished with squid ink, cuttlefish, and yogurt sauce, offers something bolder and more unexpected. Beyond pasta, the kitchen delivers elegant antipasti such as Sashi Beef Tartar with cured egg yolk and parmesan, and Burrata served with puntarelle salad and fresh orange. Main courses range from honey-glazed deboned quail to slow-cooked AAA beef chuck with red wine sauce and pomegranate. For dessert, the Tiramisu al Pistacchio — with mascarpone, pistachio cream, and coffee — is a signature worth saving room for.

Weekend Brunch and an Italian Bar

On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11:00, Masseria transforms into a lively Italian brunch destination. Guests can enjoy poached organic eggs with parmesan sauce, Italian roasted sausages, buttermilk pancakes, or simply a bowl of pasta alongside a Bellini or Aperol Spritz. The drinks menu is equally thoughtful, featuring Italian-inspired signature cocktails, a considered selection of Italian wines by the glass, and a full digestive list of grappas and amari.

Recognised Excellence

Masseria's approach to Italian cuisine has earned it a place in the 2025 White Guide, praised for offering a calmer, more intimate alternative within one of Copenhagen's busiest dining neighbourhoods. Whether you come for a quiet dinner à deux, a weekend brunch, or a private event for up to 115 guests on the covered terrace, Masseria delivers a consistently warm and memorable Italian experience.
