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!

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.

She also spoke great English, a nice plus for us tourists that don't speak great Norwegian. We got a trio of pizzas, including one of their specialties. While they weren't the best pizzas ever (referencing to the more classic, non-specialized piza), they did their job. They were alright, and the crust was really good. I really did enjoy eating each pizza because of the dough. The special pizza they feature on the menu the winner of best pizza in Norway in the past, is an interesting combination of flavors. After trying it, I'm curious what the competitors were. Its very rich and heavy, in taste and weight (both on the slice and in the stomach). Prices were reasonable, by Oslo standards. We ate here due to a schedule crunch and other places not being open yet, but enjoyed the experience. The wafting of rapid Italian in the kitchen gave a nice vibe, and lets you know that the staff making the food knows what it should be like for Italian cuisine. It's an interesting experience, giving you a view of Norwegian taste with the non-traditional options.

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!

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.
