That's a Two Knights defence Wilkes-Barre or Traxler. Kasparov recommended 6.Kf1 leading to a position "with compensation" in BCO, but 5.Bxf7+ might be a stronger line.
Bishop's opening, Berlin defence

Beliavsky gave 6.Ke2 a question mark based on an old game by Traxler 6...Nd4+ 7.Kd3 b5 8.Bb3 Nxe4 9.Nxd8 Nc5+ with advantage to black. GMs all play 5.Bxf7+ instead of 5.Nxf7, so that whole line is likely pretty rare.

`Traxler game would end with blacks win!
thats why i would not play 6. Kd3
to 6...Nd4+ i would replay with 7. Kf1
