Popped into Mamma Pizza and grabbed a cappuccino and the Diavolo pizza. The coffee was exactly what…read moreI needed; smooth, no nonsense, and way better than my usual "airport survival latte." The Diavolo came out piping hot with a thin crust that had just the right chew, and enough spice to make me feel alive but not regret my life choices. The place itself is cozy and buzzing, the kind of spot where you feel like you've stumbled into someone's Italian family kitchen minus the aunt asking why you're still single. Service was quick and friendly, even with a crowd. All in all, a solid stop for pizza in Oslo and probably the closest I'll get to Bologna without a plane ticket.

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.

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!

It's certainly lovely but not over the top fancy. When it comes to food, service and wine, these guys have got it all. We have travelled throughout Italy many times and eaten in Italian Restaurant's all over the world and Brunello's is up there in my top 5, for Italian food outside of Italy. If you're in the area give them a try!

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.

Also the service wasn't fantastic. Our waitress left mid meal and we weren't entirely clear on who had taken over. To get any thing like the bill we had to flag someone down (no one said "I'm your server now" after the change occurred). Something that is really nice was the outdoor seating. The location is really beautiful, and definitely worth a visit. Overall, for the prices, I expected more consistent service, but the food did come out quickly, and the staff was friendly.

We were staying in this neighborhood overnight before flying out early in the morning and got really lucky. This place wasn't even that busy, which was surprising, because it was really really good and reasonably priced. I had a mixed plate of grilled meats, all of which were super delicious.... 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. We had an apple cake for dessert that was also fairly decent. I hadn't had Turkish food before, So I was very pleasantly surprised. I would highly recommend it!
