Simple, straightforward, and very well cooked. It was a hearty bowl of soup, loaded with large chunks of white fish, a delicious creamy base, and some buttered bread on the side. The soup was robust without feeling oily or heavy. The portion was a bit small for me, but I still enjoyed the flavors and was glad to have come here for a delicious lunch!

Also, go order at the bar and they will bring the food to you.

Don't let that discourage you from ordering food. I wish we would've taken a few pics. We ordered the fish and chips, the bbq bourbon wings and the chicken Caesar and the seafood salad. The salads by far were legit. Very very generous portions and lots of salmon and petit shrimp on the seafood salad. The pics on the menu don't do it justice. The service was friendly as well.

In fact I think our server was the owner, and he let us know that his wife was the cook (after we complimented our meals). Prices are very reasonable and there is a nice selection of fish and meat dishes. My husband and I shared the pork belly taco (appetizer) and the fish and chips plate. Our friend ordered the last available flank steak. Everything came out timely and was delicious! There was enough food to go around and no one left hungry. I'm really glad that our friend stumbled upon this restaurant. It was not crowded and had a lovely evening atmosphere for our last evening in town. It was walkable from our Airbnb and in a cute neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

A few helpful hints: Ask the bartender for a menu, take a seat and then head back up to the bar to place your order. They have a pitcher of water at the end of the bar with glasses so no need to add an extra expense for bottled water. Remember on Sunday a bar or restaurant is the only spot you will get alcohol so don't think you can grab some beer at the Kiwi or Rema and drink at home/hotel. I got the herring with lingonberries which sounded weird to me but after the first bite I was sold!! I cleaned the whole plate with ease because it was so good. The prices are affordable compared to other spots in Norway so assure you go downstairs because the menu and prices are different.

Also, when the water jugs ran out of water, the server would quickly replenish the jugs without asking while leaving our water jugs empty when we had finished our water!! Now, onto the food ... we both ordered open-faced sandwiches (Skagen and Fjords). Both sandwiches have bread that takes a strong muscle to cut through and the seafood was swimming in mayo!!! Overall, the experience was not that great plus it is not easy to climb up several steep steps of stairway to get to a restaurant! We can tell that this is a popular restaurant around the locals as it was filling up after 20 minutes, but will we come back here again? Not really!!

We were surprised that the omelette was part of a "Lunch Board" which was like a flight of different food options including: Omelette with cheddar, avocado toast, chicken toast, smoothie, salad and croissants. It sounded like a lot of food but in reality it serves one person as each item is a small portion, but everything was delicious. The service was great and attentive, and we enjoyed the decor in the upstairs with plenty of windows with views of the harbor. They also had free WiFi which helped us plan our next day. Only note is it is fairly pricey.

I fell in love with this place three years ago, and though…read moresome of their staff appears to have less wine knowledge than the staff used to have, they are still nice and helpful. Don Pippo has a limited menu, both for food and drinks, but the quality is high. The food is based on cured meat and cheeses, perfect snack food! They also have sandwiches, if you are a bit hungrier. In addition they have a variety of good quality wine, at very fair prices. The building itself is not my favourite; with all the windows it is almost like a greenhouse, which is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It is also quite small, and hence always crowded. On a Friday afternoon you have to be there before 4pm, to be sure to get a table. The chairs (mainly highchairs) are really uncomfortable in the long run, but Don Pippo is a great first stop on a bar-hopping afternoon.
