Antonio Penco serves traditional Roman dinners in Malmö

Antonio Penco serves a four course Roman Sunday dinner to residents of Malmö, Sweden, once a month at the Riket restaurant on Davidshall.

Penco took over the kitchen of the famous Di Penco restaurant before it went bankrupt. He now uses his experience to host a monthly event called Romarriket. He focuses on traditional Italian cooking methods, choosing to preserve established recipes rather than trying to modernize them. His menu includes classic pasta dishes and organ meats.

Local residents attend the monthly dinners to experience these traditional meals. Guests describe the experience as a way to enjoy hearty, authentic food that feels familiar. The event provides a space for the community to gather and share a meal that honors historical Italian culinary customs.
