Famosi e Golosi is a real Italian food gem serving homemade Italian specialties. Behind the pots stands Walter Garau, who was himself born in Sardinia. The kitchen is mostly inclined to the northern Italian with e.g. Osso Buco and Vitello Tonnato on the menu, but with Walter Garau's Sardinian roots, you can not miss the culinary influence of the Mediterranean island.

The charming Italian at Frederiksberg scores 4 stars in both AOK and Politiken, who call the dining experience "solidly good Italian". Visit Famosi e Golosi and enjoy an evening of popular Italian charm and tasty signature dishes.
