"When you go into Il Buco you can´t quite figure out what you have entered. Is it a restaurant, a wine shop, a butcher or...? But you will soon realize that it is everything in one small establishment with tons of charm and atmosphere. The theme is Italian, and everything is made with love. Great tip: go there on a Tuesday, were you can then get 6 dishes and a glass of wine at the great price of 350 kr. Then you can try a variety of their delicious cooking. There is only one seating and that is at 6:45 pm. You will all sit together at communal tables and will definitely feel like you are at a local Trattoria in Italy." - Birds Flying High

I felt like the menu was overpriced and except for absolutely amazing sourdough, the dishes disappointed. Very fatty pork and 3 slices of salted (not marinated cucumber), half a cherry tomato drizzled in vinegar on dried herbs, pasta dish (it was decent), ice with vinegar as a “palate cleanser”, and icecream with burned sugary bread for desert. Sometimes experimental or less conventional dishes are worth it, but this time around it didn’t work for me. Others I dined with broadly agreed with this assessment.

Very nice place. I had monkfish balls. The taste was superb, with a spicy kick. Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is that the fish balls were a little overcooked on one side, made them very chewy. Homemade Rabarber soda was really good. Also the best cappuccino I had in a long time.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The food was beyond delicious and the whole staff was warm/kind, authentic and passionate about their craft. Furthermore their commitment to sustainability was impressive and admirable, as the only imported produce was salt!!! Except for the wine, of course. Treat yourself and go enjoy this wonderful place. Price was very reasonable too. ❤️

Lunch on Sunday at 1pm... menu is limited to breakfast items, but all good and excellent baking. I wanted to try their Italian cooking so went back for dinner Monday night and the meal was really fantastic. Fresh bread, monk fish with pickled rose petals and chicken dish with leek reduction. Both dishes were full of flavor with unique elements. Evening service was excellent. Thanks to Casper for a kitchen and back room tour, which revealed the bakery, in house herb drying and butchery, meat aging, fermenting of dozens of different products for unique bases and sauces, sourcing of products from passionate local producers, ie. free range forest chickens. IL Boco is a special place run by really dedicated people passionate about food and flavor.

Came here for brunch and had a ridiculously delicious omelette! Probably the best omelette I ever had… the fried eggs was very good too! And the French toast is just amazing! The staff is supper friendly and the atmosphere very cozy and welcoming.

We’ve found this cute restaurant hidden in a residential compound. What a gem it is! The omelette and pasta is super delicious, their own version of tiamisu is to die for. Staff and service is also fantastic too. Hope to go back there again for sure.

Il Buco makes the best croissants in Copenhagen! I have tried several places but these are definitely the best. Come in around 9 in the morning for a warm croissant straight from the oven. Il Buco also serves lunch and diner. I did have diner here as well but for me it wasn’t at the same level of the croissant. Diner was good but not as great. The portion size was to small for the price. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the prices are good. Breakfast prices are way better then dinner prices.
