Italian flavours on a quiet Helsingør side street
Martinellis sits on Sudergade, a narrow central street a few minutes’ walk from Helsingør’s harbourfront and historic lanes. From outside it looks modest: a simple frontage, warm light spilling through the windows, and a steady flow of people dropping by to pick up boxes and paper bags. Inside, the emphasis is on function and food rather than formality, with counter displays, chalked menus and an open, easy atmosphere that feels immediately local. This is very much a neighbourhood place, serving office workers at lunch and families or small groups later in the day. The soundtrack is the clatter of the pizza oven, snatches of Italian and Danish, and the soft hiss of the espresso machine as coffees are pulled between orders.Pizza, pasta and deli classics at the heart of the menu
The menu is built around Italian comfort staples: thin, crisp-based pizzas topped with familiar combinations alongside a few richer house specials, plus a small but focused selection of pasta dishes. Expect sauces that lean classic—tomato-rich ragù, silky carbonara-style cream, basil-driven pesto—rather than experimental twists. Alongside the hot dishes sits a deli streak: generously filled sandwiches on crusty bread, sometimes layered with mozzarella, cured meats, pesto and salad, ideal for a quick lunch or something to take down towards the waterfront. Portions are typically hearty, designed to satisfy rather than dazzle, and the overall feel is unfussy and relaxed.Casual space with a hint of Italian street-café character
The interior leans practical, with simple tables and chairs, tiled or wooden floors, and a counter that anchors the room. Any décor tends to be lighthearted and Italian-influenced—think jars, bottles and a few splashes of the tricolore—without tipping into theme-restaurant territory. It is the bustle of takeout orders and the sight of pizzas going in and out of the oven that set the tone. In good weather, seats outside on the street add a touch of Mediterranean café life to this corner of Helsingør. It is the kind of spot where you can sit with a slice and a drink, watch bikes roll past and feel briefly transported south, even as the North Sea air brushes the lane.Takeaway hub for locals and castle-day-trippers
While you can happily dine in, Martinellis is also geared towards takeaway. Online ordering and predictable opening hours make it a convenient fall-back when you want something reliable after a day at Kronborg Slot or crossing back from Sweden. Boxes and bags move constantly through the door, and the compact kitchen is clearly organised around speed without sacrificing the basics of good dough and decent ingredients. For travellers staying nearby, it doubles as an easy self-catering option: grab pizzas or pasta, perhaps a couple of deli-style sandwiches for the next day’s excursions, and you are set without needing a formal sit-down meal every night.Part of Helsingør’s everyday food life
Martinellis fits neatly into Helsingør’s small-scale urban fabric: close enough to the main sights to be handy, but everyday enough to feel like a slice of regular local life. Prices sit in a mid-range sweet spot, more than a fast-food slice joint but comfortably below white-tablecloth dining. It works best if you embrace it for what it is: a straightforward Italian deli-pizzeria where the priorities are warm food, quick service and a relaxed welcome. For a casual lunch between museum visits or a low-key evening meal with an Italian accent, it is a reliable address to have in your back pocket.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
