Inside the restaurant, they had a very inviting open kitchen and an excellent seating area. We were greeted by the hostess, who also took our order. She couldn't not have been more friendly or helpful and had a great sense of humor. Clearly, this is someone who loves her job and it made the meal extra special. I had the linguine with creamy shellfish sauce, scampi, lemon, squash and chili. Scampi is not shrimp, but langoustine, which is an orange-colored crustacean native to the northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It is known for its small, slender claws, and is more like a mini-lobster than shrimp. The sauce was flavorful and overall was an excellent dish. My wife had the Pasta pollo ubriaco, which is rigatoni in a rich, creamy tomato sauce with chili, chicken fillet and bacon. Also excellent. I thought we should split a side salad, but it was anything but small. Quite tasty, but we were stuffed at this point. Overall, a great dining experience.

Margherita Pizza with mushrooms and 2 Aass Fatøl lager brewskies from Aass Bryggeri (Aass Brewery) on tap. Aass is a funny name and David Letterman made a joke about it few years back. Aass is a family name and an archaic spelling of ås, which means low hill. Pizza suitable for 1 person, or 2 if a snack/appetizer. I asked for Red Pepper flakes...none could be found, so I was offered black pepper. $40 USD including built-in service fee and the 25% Norwegian VAT. The VAT tax helps explain why a 1/2 liter of draught beer at a local bar is $9.50 USD. Tip: About a 0.6 mile/1 km walk from Oslo Sentralstasjon aka Oslo S (Central Train Station)

It was spicy even for someone outside of Norway - so make sure you prefer spicy Italian sausage. The pizza was a bit small so if you run marathons you probably need some additional food - but I bought it as an afternoon snack so I'm content ;-) Take away took about 20 min, which they promised it would.

I had the 'In Bufalata' (Buffalo mozzarella, semidried cherry tomato, basil and olive oil) and very much enjoyed the crisp, chewy crust and well-balanced sauce. I dug the fact that wine was available in several sizes: liter, half liter and glass. It was a school night so a half liter shared between the two of us was perfect.

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!
