La Penombra in one sentence: Northern Italian restaurant with wine bar

Authentic Italian cooking

La Penombra is a northern Italian restaurant and wine bar run by chef duo Paride Noviello and Andrea Pettirosso, both of whom have extensive experience of working at Italian restaurants all around the world.

La Penombra gets a new delivery of fresh produce directly from Italy every morning. Sun-ripened tomatoes, citrus fruits and other fruit and vegetables are then made into authentic Italian dishes from scratch. Ingredients that don't come from Italy are sourced from nearby farms and producers, such as the flour for the bread that's baked on site every day. 

The menu consists of antipasti, primi, secondi and dolci, with both meat and meat-free options. Naturally, there are pasta, gnocchi and risotto dishes, as well as rustic fish and meat dishes, but the menu changes with the seasons and according to which ingredients are freshest. Wine can be enjoyed in the bar and with food. 

Eat surrounded by candlelight, crystal chandeliers, arched windows and decorative stucco work. There's a long bar on one side of the restaurant where you can take a pew and have a glass of wine - and perhaps enjoy “la penombra”, which means dusk in Italian. Larger groups and companies can hire out the entire premises for private parties, conferences and events.

Found this place by chance when I was looking for a cute, date night restaurant. The interior is gorgeous, especially in the evening with candles on all the tables!
It got even better once we sat down. The wine list was fantastic, and the staff knowledgable and helpful about them, and the food w...

Starting up the year with Pasta alla Carbonara, Origini Lazio. A glass of Azienda Agricola Boasso. Lavazza. Fresh fruit from Italy and finally a piece of Domori; Lunch with my kids, at my absolute favourite, for a taste of La Dolce Vita. The excellent restaurant and winebar. La Penombra in Malmoe.

Real Italian restaurant in the heart of Malmö.
Highly recommended 🤩

Back a second time to this fine restaurant. Super good food and personal service. Go here! The tastiest octopus I've ever eaten!

Är du intresserad av genuint italiensk mat prova gärna denna restaurang. Jag har provat flera rätter och alltid blivit överraskad hur det faktiskt påminner mig om smakerna där hemma i Italien. Allt lagas enligt traditionen, utan kompromisser. Råvarorna är no...

Took two starters. Vegetarian. Deep-fried gnocchi good.
The burrata with tomatoes of very boring quality. Hard and tasteless. Asked for vinegar that was not available. I don't think I've ever eaten at an Italian restaurant, neither in Sweden nor Italy, without a bottle of balsamic...

Great and genuine food ! Excellent products and amazing service!

Had lunch there. Good fresh food, friendly staff. The only minus is the lack of lettuce. Will go there again!!
