Italian warmth on Hobro’s central square

Matios – Det Italienske Spisehus sits right on Brotorv, in the compact heart of Hobro, where the town’s everyday rhythm hums just outside the windows. Step through the door and you swap the open square for low, intimate lighting, closely spaced tables and the gentle clink of cutlery. The restaurant feels more like a classic Italian trattoria than a formal dining room, with simple furnishings, warm colours and an easygoing atmosphere that encourages unhurried meals. The open layout means you are never far from the energy of the room: conversations drifting in Danish and Italian, the thud of a pizza base being stretched, the hiss of a pan hitting high heat. It is a comfortable scale, small enough to feel personal, large enough to absorb the buzz of a full evening service.

From stone-baked pizzas to slow-stirred risotto

The menu leans into well-loved Italian staples, built around a foundation of pizzas, fresh pasta and a handful of changing seasonal dishes. Pizzas arrive with thin, stone-baked bases, blistered edges and classic toppings like prosciutto, rucola, spicy salami and fresh mozzarella. Beyond the pizza list, you will often find risotto stirred to a creamy finish, filled ravioli, and traditional desserts such as tiramisù or panna cotta. Portions tend to be generous rather than dainty, encouraging shared starters – perhaps antipasti, bruschetta or burrata – followed by a main course and a sweet finish if you can manage it. Italian wines, from crisp whites to fuller-bodied reds, anchor the drinks list alongside a small selection of beers and soft drinks.

Ambience for couples, families and small groups

Evenings at Matios are defined by a friendly, informal tone. Couples tuck into shared plates at small two-seaters along the walls, while families and groups of friends gather around pushed-together tables closer to the centre. The dining room is relaxed enough for children yet intimate enough for a date night, especially midweek when the pace is calmer. The open-plan space means it can feel lively on Friday and Saturday nights, with the sound of conversation carrying across the room. On quieter days, the same room softens into a more tranquil setting, where you can linger over coffee and dessert while the staff reset tables for the next sitting.

Service with a local and Italian touch

Service at Matios combines Nordic straightforwardness with Italian warmth. Staff move between tables with practiced efficiency, offering recommendations on pizzas, pasta sauces and wine pairings. The team is used to accommodating special requests when possible, whether that means adjusting toppings, moderating spice or suggesting a child-friendly option. Because the restaurant operates only in the evenings and is not a large space, timing your visit can shape the experience. An early dinner tends to feel calmer and more spacious, while later seatings often come with a convivial, bustling tone as the room fills and the kitchen hits its stride.

Dining rhythm in a small Danish town

Located in central Hobro, Matios fits neatly into the town’s evening rhythm. Locals drop in after work, couples make a night of it after a stroll through the old streets, and visitors often combine dinner here with a day exploring Mariager Fjord and the surrounding countryside. With opening hours focused on dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, it is very much an evening destination rather than an all-day eatery. Allow at least an hour and a half for a full meal – more if you plan to enjoy several courses and drinks. The pace is unhurried by design, encouraging you to settle in, savour each plate and watch the small theatre of an Italian kitchen play out just a few steps away.
