Video: Brace Modern Italian Food with a Nordic Philosophy

Chef Nicola Fanetti runs the modern Italian restaurant Brace in the heart of Copenhagen. Fanetti has been inspired by the New Nordic movement ever since working at Noma – it was there he rediscovered his love for foraging and connecting with nature. Afterward, he decided to stay in Denmark and combine his Italian roots with a Nordic philosophy. His menu features neither pizza nor a lot of pasta, but all dishes point back to his motherland in some way. A lot of his inspiration comes from his time spent at his grandparents’ farm as a kid, where he first learned how to cook and fell in love with food and Italian cuisine.
