Vesuvio

Excellent service. This is my first impression of the place. I liked that there were actually Italians working there who have a great sense of how to make you feel welcome. The food was good. I had a pizza called vezivio with fresh tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and some greens. What I didn't like was that they had burnt a bit of the dough in the middle as it was very thin and that the ring of dough around the pizza was quite thick. I would have maybe preferred to get olive oil to dip it as it was quite a lot. However it's a good quality of pizza with fresh ingredients which is the most important. The place is nice. We were brought downstairs which I didn't prefer as it is dark. But still a cosy atmosphere. Probably also good for larger groups since there is a lot of space and lots of tables. On a Monday evening it was packed so seems like a super popular place.

2 of the best pizzas in Oslo, which could well be.

Went one early very warm evening with a friend in this sort of trendy pizzeria in the heart of the very trendy Grünerløkka. We just had each a pizza, both of them fantastic, although mine was very salty ( picture attached as I can't remember the name). We sat inside close to the terrace as it was way too hot that day. It is said to be the best pizzas in Oslo, which could well be. I will definitely go back there and try a less salty pizza. Prices on the high side but normal for Norway, worth it though.

Amazing! My favorite is the far right (different kind of cheese) pizza! :)

Incredible tasting food! One of the best places I've ever had pizza. I have no idea what kind I got (look at my pictures) hahaa. My favorite one was the one with 4 different cheeses. So so so delicious!

My amazing prosecco!

Great place to get authentic Italian pizza! Dough tastes very fresh, as well as all the ingredients! Service was super great, all the people who checked on us were very nice, and the food came out incredibly fast! Very short and sweet review, this place was simply great! All my friends loved their pizza, and since they are locals, they claim this is their go to place for a great dinner! They were right!

I wish I could give this place more stars! As a New Yorker I'm hesitant to order pizza elsewhere however I found this restaurant on yelp while in Oslo, and i was NOT disappointed! I got the prima Vera pizza and it was perfection. It may have been one of the best pizzas I have had! The environment is intimate, the waitstaff are very friendly and on top of things. Even the house red wine was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Pizza!

Had lunch at Villa Paradiso for the first time the other day and it was great! I don't remember what the pizza was called but I ordered the one with artichokes and ham and it was really tasty. I'm obsessed with artichokes on my pizza so any place that has them is good in my book! The service was speedy and very polite. Love the atmosphere and the interior is decorated beautifully. The only thing that kept this place getting five stars from me is the pizza kinda fell apart. Other than that I really liked it here. I'm thinking about going back this summer and having pizza on their patio in the sun :)

One of the good pizza spots in town! They can sometimes get busy too so consider a reservation if you're pressed for time.

Tasty pizzas made in a proper oven. Seems like the place has a lot of Italian personnel, which contributes to the atmosphere nicely.

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!

We came for the pizza and it was totally worth it - nicely charred crust in their wood fired oven. We also enjoyed a caprese salad with fresh buffalo mozzarella. Staff were friendly and efficient. Upstairs decor was nice and they have communal seating which gives it an extra family feel.

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.
