I’ve been to the best restaurant in the city. At least according to user reviews on the influential travel guide, Tripadvisor. Here, the Italian Pomodoro d’Oro on Amager Strandvej ranks number one out of 1,835 Copenhagen restaurants.
But the pasta was really pink.
The dish was called Barolo, named after the red wine in which the tagliatelle was cooked. It now lay as a soft, wrinkled nest with a color reminiscent of a human brain. It didn’t look appetizing.
The pasta stuck a bit raw between the teeth, and aside from the caper cream and the black garlic that had been roasted for 72 hours, there wasn’t much flavor to be had.
