The Original Dennis Is #1 Classic Italian Family Restaurant Again
Buongiorno, food lovers!
Ristorante Pizzeria Dennis originally opened on May 1st, 1975, founded by my father, Dennis Rafkin. The Turku restaurant has thus already celebrated its 50th anniversary! The restaurant was brought back to life on May 17th, 2023, once again led by our family.
Dennis is once again #1 classic Italian family restaurant, a welcoming place to enjoy lunch and dinner with family and friends. A place where bankers in suits and kids from junior football teams happily dine at neighboring tables, side by side.
We returned to our original location at Linnankatu 17. This original “home” is a historic wooden building dating back to before the Great Fire of Turku. Today, its unique atmosphere once again creates unforgettable moments for our guests from all over Finland.
Our menu features a wide selection of starters, salads, pizzas, pastas, flavors from around the world, children’s dishes, and desserts. We also serve lunch on weekdays from 11:00 - 15:00.
Our goal was to bring back the original Dennis to Turku, a place with great food and cheerful, attentive service. The restaurant’s setting is truly unique, and it’s a place where both guests and staff feel at home.
- Kim Rafkin, Restaurateur
P.S. We don't serve fast food. We serve food with love and passion.
