osteria 16 no. 1

In 2014, the restaurant Osteria 16 opened on Vesterbro in Copenhagen. The place was founded by friends, chef Morten Kaltoft and artist Emil Alsbo. There are no snobbish waiters or stiff, pressed napkins here - just honest Italian food served family style, so everyone at the table shares. Osteria 16 represents modern Italian cuisine where everyone is welcome.

Osteria 16 is Morten Kaltoft and Emil Alsbo’s first cookbook. It features 80 simple and original Italian recipes, including antipasti, polenta, pasta, risotto, pizza, bread, desserts, and classic Italian basics. The focus is on a few high-quality ingredients and seasonal produce. In the Osteria 16 kitchen, every ingredient can be tasted. The book’s many small dishes are simple and unpretentious, yet confident in style and full of flavor. It is food that is easy to approach and speaks to the senses.
