I split the bruschetta with my friend and boy was it delicious - the tomatoes tasted extremely fresh and the crunch of the toast was amazing. I opted for the risotto and it definitely was one of the better ones I've tasted. There was a ton of flavor packed into the broth and it was creamy enough, but not too overwhelming. I would just say that the there just was a bit too much cheese for me, but it did not deduct from the overall experience. The service was exceptional and quick, totally would recommend!

We needed a place to eat in the airport and we came here. To their credit, the food came out in a…read moretimely manner because they are probably aware that they are in the airport. I had the lasagna and was pleasantly surprised. It was very good. I even ate the side "salad" which was covered in too much cheese, but it didn't have dressing so it was kind of perfect. The waiter was super weird. He took our order and helped us pay but was very weird the entire time! It didn't detract from the meal at all but it gave us something to chuckle about. I don't remember his name. This restaurant is upstairs so you have to go up. There is a bar area in front but if you want to eat, they will walk you to the restaurant area.

Lively, but not loud. We had a nice chat with our server, Flavia, who turned out to be the "boss's (Fabio Pezzoli) daughter", and a delightful young woman! Fabio sent out a complimentary bruschetta for us to enjoy with our wine as we settled in. After hearing the specials and scouring the menu we ordered a pizza and a house made fettuccine with a creamy parmesan black pepper truffle sauce. Served with sliced truffles, it was a superb dish! I can honestly say that it was one of the best pasta dishes in recent memory! The pizza was thin, crispy and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert, I enjoyed an espresso and a perfect panna cotta. Caroline simply enjoyed her wine. We closed the restaurant after visiting with Fabio and his friend, a well-known local writer Erik Fosnes Hansen. It was a memorable evening and I'd not only highly recommend this local treasure, but would return in a heartbeat if in Oslo.

I love Italian food, and since my girl lives close to this restaurant, it had to be checked out…read more It was a pretty busy night, but we were seated pretty quick. The waiter looked over from time to time to see if we had decided what to eat. We ordered garlic bread and garlic shrimp as appetizers. I ordered a pasta penne with meat and creamed sauce, and my better half ordered a pasta with squash, bacon, gorgonzola and creamed sauce. The appetizers came after about 15mins, which for me is perfect, so I have time to enjoy my beer and talk before the first dish comes. The garlic bread and shrimp were standard, no fancy stuff, and no "wow" when it came to taste. The main courses were good. I ordered a double portion of the meat&cream pasta, and got a HUGE plate with food. It tasted pretty good, and definitely home made. The bacon&cream pasta my girl got was also good, but both dishes could of course have been better. We skipped dessert this time. All in all this was a visit worth taking, and we would come back again some other time. 559,- for 2 appetizers, 2 main courses, a beer and a coke is not that bad though.

We sat outside and hoped to look like a fellow Norwegian enjoying the night, the food, the drink and the company. Had the hanger steak with arugula salad. It had a chimi sauce.

I liked the seating location as it faces the "Y" of a main road. One can see the people, tram and car traffic going by. Very friendly staff and attentive. In other words, they don't disappear or keep you waiting.

We decided to sit inside because it was more private, since everybody was dining outside. Now their menu options are limited. I ended up ordering Italian meat soup. I absolutely disliked this soup. The owner / manager explained that they cook it exactly the way Italian meat soup is done. It might be the case, but it just tasted to strong and pungent. I let my friend tried a bit and she didn't like it either. I just think it was a flavor that Americans are not used to. My friend ordered the oxtail ravioli. That was actually really good. Service here wasn't great either. Apparently that's a common complain. Anyways I ended up spending $20 on a bowl of soup I detested.
