The girl who took our orders was sweet and pleasant, the others seemed in a rush and were bringing us orders from other tables by mistake. The restaurant was busy, so that's understandable. The formaggio pizza we shared had the most delicious blend of cheeses on a perfectly soft thin crust. The dough was made with a good quality flour, it was easy to tell from the taste and texture. I had an Espresso Martini as a birthday treat and was really happy with it, It was sweet and delicious. Great experience all around and I'm really glad we stopped in.

We arrived at 6:00 PM ordered and the food came out hot and fresh in less than 20 minutes. We were back at the hotel by 7:00 PM!

However their mocktails were very tasty. We enjoyed our evening here.

Good beers on tap, and good cocktails to chose from. For food, we got a kiddie pasta and Pasta Selvatica, which had reindeer meat in it. Service was quick and food arrived within 20-mins of ordering. Noise levels were on the lower end. Their outdoor seating had heat lamps at every table, so it was fairly comfortable to sit outside even on a relatively colder day in Oslo.

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.

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.

It's certainly lovely but not over the top fancy. When it comes to food, service and wine, these guys have got it all.

If you're in the area give them a try!

Also the service wasn't fantastic. Our waitress left mid meal and we weren't entirely clear on who had taken over.

I literally ate everything on the plate. The husband had some pasta, that was decent, but this isn't really a pasta place ... They also serve awesome bread and dips to start, yummmm.
