We were famished as we had been walking on tours in the rain, all morning throughout Oslo and came…read moreacross Proseccheria. They quickly seated us and took our orders promptly. It was a Tuesday afternoon but the restaurant was quite busy and it seemed that they were understaffed as the kind lady who took our orders was also tending to the entire restaurant at the same time. Maybe it was because we were starving from the walking we previously endured but the food took upwards to 50 minutes to come out (which felt like quite a long time). However, I have no complaints beyond that because the dishes were worth all the while! The ingredients were very fresh, pastas perfectly cooked and seasoned. We ordered the Rigatoni Alla Bartinli, Ravioli Porcini, and the Tagliatelle Al Pesto off of the lunch menu. If I were to rank the three, the top dish was the Ravioli Porcini, as it was paired with very tasty mushrooms and bacon within a flavorful cream sauce. The Rigatoni had great texture and was a close second as it was overall just very delicious. The Pesto Tagliatelle was also very tasty as well but the ravioli was the all around winner. All of the pasta was definitely freshly handmade. The restaurant featured modern, minimalistic decorations. From the exterior, there is a slight contrast from the Christiania Town-look to an adapted modern look of the restaurant. It was refreshing to see such a modern place near the older architecture surrounding it. From inside, the restaurant features a bar and a few other tables of seating area. It gives off "upscale-relaxed" vibes. Since it was raining that day, it was nice that they had a coat rack and area to put wet umbrellas near the door. It made the restaurant feel more like home. The pastas were quite filling and were perfectly portioned. Each pasta did come out to be close to 300 Norwegian Kroner (~$29 USD), but whatever the cost, it satisfied our bellies and we were happy campers! My overall rating would be a 4.1, rounded to 4/5. The meal was great but it did take a little while to come out. With all that being said, I would come back if we had the chance to explore Oslo a different time!

In the mood for some well tasting tapas and bobbles?? Champagneria is definitely the perfect spot…read morefor well tasting finger-food, deep conversations (or small talk if you are on a first date) and of course bobbles in all price ranges. Of course the best thing you do is order a Champagne, but if you do not want to spend NOK 900++ you go for something cheaper like Cava or Prosecco. Personally I do not mind the Crèmant BFF Stèphane Tissot from France (NOK 690) and the Ramon Primero Brut from Spain (NOK 395). Champagneria gets very crowded on the weekend, so definitely make a reservation. During the weekdays you should be able to do a walk in for the restaurant. Keep in mind that in order to be seated in the restaurant area you will have to order food. They do however have a bar section just for drinking so you can definitely enjoy those bobbles without food!

Family owned since its inception, a location amidst homes and businesses in Grünerløkka finding the space mostly full of locals, it is outdoors at the bar or seated at tables that guests are treated to top notch service plus a menu that changes at least monthly. Dimly lit with candles on wood tables, leather banquets offering a comfortable seat regardless of weather, diners may choose a la carte or a daily prix-fixe consisting of three courses. Known for a terroir-driven Wine list, mostly French with several offered by the glass, Sunday found Riesling with moderate sweetness well matched to good Bread and a torn Tarte Flambée topped in melted Comté plus roasted Cepes. Hard to pass up Beef Tartare or Norwegian Langoustines, the latter a daily special, suffice it to say there are no regrets when it comes to Turbot roasted until the collagen melts slightly and paired to Chanterelle Mushrooms plus Dill Butter and Leeks the plate more than justified its 465 NOK. Casual and English friendly, though service is gracious and professional, it was only after finishing several creamy Pommes Dauphine that Dessert arrived as dueling Homemade Nougatine Ice Cream and flawless French Toast caramelized over a Custard center with Raspberries and Pistachio Ice Cream.

The staff was excellent. we ordered the olives...great, but just olives in olive oil..simple is sometimes the best. Then we did the sardines, which come in a tin that is halfway rolled open. Super tasty and reminded me that this is available in most places around the world and I needed to be eating it like this more often. Sardines are great nutrient rich food, especially for those of you looking for choline. This followed by one of the stars of the evening--white asparagus In a buttery creamy, maybe a bit of light cheese as well...delicious. We ended the night with two fish dishes, the hake--very good and the poached turbot, which was off the charts exceptional. This is a must try when you visit Oslo...try to make a resy. And then if possible, try to find a spot at the bar.

Tables are small and the place feels crowded closer to the kitchen on the 1st floor. I personally prefer a quiet atmosphere, dimmer lights and comfortable seating at restaurants, therefore the calamitous and bright room, with a small table, of BFs first floor draws the rating down to a 3. The restaurant has 3 other floors (reserved for parties and dinner) and a great looking dinner and wine menu, so I would recommend dinner over lunch, and dining as a group over 2 ppl.
