Local tips
- Aim for an early evening dinner if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, as tables fill up more towards typical Danish dinner hours.
- Portions can be generous, so consider sharing a large pizza and a salad if you are not very hungry.
- If visiting in summer, ask about outdoor seating to enjoy the light evenings and the bustle of Lodsgade.
- Families may find it easiest to choose from the more classic pizzas and pastas, which usually appeal to younger diners.
- Keep an eye on closing times on Friday and Saturday nights if you like to dine late, as the kitchen only runs an extra hour.

Italian warmth on a North Jutland street
Valentino sits on Lodsgade, one of central Frederikshavn’s main streets, bringing a slice of Italy to this North Jutland harbor town. Step inside and you are greeted by the hum of conversation, the clink of glasses and the comforting smell of pizza dough crisping in the oven. Tables are set simply, with a focus on convivial dining rather than fine-dining formality. The restaurant balances local clientele with visiting travelers, so you will hear a mix of Danish and other languages drifting between tables. Large windows keep the room bright during the long summer evenings, while in winter the interior takes on a cozy, sheltering feel after a windswept walk along the waterfront.From oven-fresh pizza to generous pasta plates
The menu leans into classic Italian comfort food, with a long list of pizzas, from familiar margheritas and pepperoni-topped options to richer creations loaded with meats, vegetables and cheese. Bases are typically thin and crisp at the edges, made to pair comfortably with a beer or glass of wine rather than demand reverent attention. Pasta dishes cover staples such as carbonara, bolognese and creamy sauces, often served in hearty portions that suit hungry travelers. You will also find a selection of other European-style mains, which might include steaks, chicken or fish, making it easy for mixed groups to find something they like. Desserts lean sweet and straightforward—think ice cream, cakes or an Italian classic like tiramisu—nicely matched with a strong coffee.A casual setting for families and groups
Valentino is set up for relaxed, sociable meals. Tables can usually be arranged for groups, and the straightforward layout makes it easy to keep an eye on children. High chairs are commonly available, and the menu structure naturally lends itself to sharing pizzas and starters across the table. Because the restaurant opens from late morning and continues into the evening, it can serve as a lunch stop between sightseeing or a dependable dinner option after a day exploring the town or nearby beaches. The pace is unhurried, so you can linger over a drink or dessert without feeling rushed.Outdoor tables and harbor-town atmosphere
In decent weather, outdoor seating allows you to dine with a view of street life in central Frederikshavn. The setting is urban rather than scenic, but there is a certain charm to watching locals cycle past and shoppers heading to and from nearby stores while you eat. Being in the town center, Valentino fits easily into a broader day out: it works as a refuelling stop after a ferry arrival, a base before an evening stroll, or a convenient choice if you are staying in nearby accommodation. The location also means you are never far from other bars, cafés and shops if you want to continue your evening elsewhere.Practical details for a smooth visit
Opening hours are straightforward, with service running daily from late morning; on Fridays and Saturdays the kitchen typically runs an hour later into the night, which is useful if you like to eat late. Prices sit in the mid-range by Danish standards: not a budget choice, but reasonable for sit-down Italian food with table service. You can expect a full bar with beer, wine and simple cocktails, soft drinks for children and drivers, and coffee-based drinks to end the meal. Mobile reception is generally solid in this part of town, making it easy to check onward plans or share a quick photo, and the central setting means you are never far from other amenities if needed.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
