Girotondo is the kind of place where you walk in, climb the stairs, and immediately wonder if…read moreyou've just crashed someone else's dinner party. The tables are communal, so you'll likely end up shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers which, honestly, is half the fun. When I went, the room was buzzing like a Friday night in Rome. The staff was absolutely slammed, and after 20 minutes of waiting I did the classic "walk up to the bar and smile politely" move. Worked like a charm as service came quickly after that. Pro tip: patience is your friend here. I ordered the bruschetta pomodoro (simple, fresh, no notes) and a margherita pizza with ham. Not trying to reinvent Italian cuisine, but they nailed the classics and sometimes that's exactly what you need. So, if you like your dinner with a side of chaos, chatter from total strangers, and the feeling that you've stumbled onto a local secret, Girotono is worth the climb upstairs. Here's to another stamp on the tastebud passport!

The restaurant is simple yet elegant. They were probably three or four patrons during our visit, so it was quiet. The waiters were nice and chatty. I ordered the pizza of the month for May. I can't recall all the ingredients. But I do remember I ordered this pizza because it had chorizo. Sadly, I did not like this pizza. The pizza had a very strong smell and it had a pungent taste. I think it was the chorizo. It was probably the spices it was marinated in. Anyways, the waiter was so sweet that he gave me another pizza. This time it was a plain ham and cheese pizza. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend ordered the three Norwegian cheeses. I thought it was perfect. I'm unfamiliar with what cheeses they use, but it tasted great. Now Norwegian Cuisine is pretty out there. So they do serve pizza with reindeer meat and such. I did enjoy my experience. I'm giving them 4 stars because of their awesome waiters, their cozy yet trendy ambience, creative pizzas, and superb service.

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)

This restaurant was located near our hotel and we were craving Italian food, so we checked it out. Hubby and I both ordered the Pasta Carbonara for $25.50 USD. Yes, that sounds a bit pricey, but everything is pricier here in Norway than the US. The carbonara was cooked al dente and it was so creamy, with just the right portion size. I will dream of this dish for days! We also ordered a glass of red wine each for $15.50 USD. The pour was a little small. Service was friendly and decent. The food came out really fast, but the servers didn't check on us after that, and we had to flag a server down to get the check. The restaurant is big and spacious. They have indoor seating and there's also seating outside of the restaurant in the shopping center area. Seats were comfortable and tables were clean. I'm really glad we decided to come here and weren't deterred by the 3-star average rating. I highly recommend this place.

Once we got home and saw the bill on our credit cards however, we were blown away at the cost. It was the equivelent of $150 Canadian. I could have seen maybe $85 + tip, but that seems steep for "okay" pizza.

While this is a seafood restaurant, it has several Greek items on the menu. We ordered beers and looked at the menu. They brought us cold beers, and we ordered Norwegian oysters, calamari, and I had the Halibut for my main. The oysters were spectacular! I am not a fan of warm water oysters in the summer, but knowing these come from the cold waters around Norway, I was happy, and boy, were they good! The Calamari was tender and sweet, but the best part of the meal was my Halibut- perfectly cooked, and the lemon sauce was divine, as well as the potatoes and cabbage. We had a nice bottle of white wine as well. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, all in all, an excellent dinner on the water- just what I wanted!
