Espresso martini - Not much cream and you can taste the martini part of it with equal coffee and alcohol. 2. Capricciosa - Ham pizza which was good. Thin crust with a bit more red sauce than Olivia restaurant. Still a B- or 3.25 type pizza. NJ NY standard. Overall, average place to come for pizza or to try their other dishes.

The reservation was definitely needed as this place was packed despite how large it is. The ambiance feels elegant and moody. We enjoyed the vibe! Service was pretty slow throughout (in their defense, it was busy!) but friendly. The menu is fully in Italian which is fun but through us for a loop. I did the risotto for dinner and my husband did a pasta. He liked his pasta and my saffron risotto was OK. This was a conveniently located, decent option for Italian in Bergen.

I will always come back to Don Pippo! I fell in love with this place three years ago, and though…read moresome of their staff appears to have less wine knowledge than the staff used to have, they are still nice and helpful. Don Pippo has a limited menu, both for food and drinks, but the quality is high. The food is based on cured meat and cheeses, perfect snack food! They also have sandwiches, if you are a bit hungrier. In addition they have a variety of good quality wine, at very fair prices. The building itself is not my favourite; with all the windows it is almost like a greenhouse, which is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It is also quite small, and hence always crowded. On a Friday afternoon you have to be there before 4pm, to be sure to get a table. The chairs (mainly highchairs) are really uncomfortable in the long run, but Don Pippo is a great first stop on a bar-hopping afternoon.

OK it is for sure not cheap, But the setting is unique, Think Mall in a giant wooden shed with many bars on different levels. The place is really rocking late on a Sunday night. If you are a smoker there is a heated place outside in the front, with blankets provided for the winter. The Local Hansa beer is really tasty, and the service comes with a smile. I will say that all of Norway is expensive, so try not to faint when you get the Bill.

Italian restaurant offering stone baked pizzas, pastas, and other delectable dishes…read more Although we did not secure reservations ahead of time, we were seated within a few minutes of our arrival. The atmosphere is modern with large glass windows looking out to the walkways of the city. The decor is simple, rustic with dark tones throughout the dining area. The natural light is beautiful while dining at 8 pm! It doesn't get dark at night! Service is somewhat slow here. Our order was taken after other guests were seated after us, and we noticed their orders were taken before us. Maybe our server was distracted? Finally, after waiting for quite some time, our server appeared and took our drink and meal orders. Unfortunately, our dishes came out at all different times. The three course meal was served very late. Maybe due to the seafood? We shared our calamari , salad and pizza together, while waiting for the linguine. Still water and sparkling water are served here upon request. Our order: Appetizer-Calamari fritti (deep fried calamari with aioli and lemon, Insalata piccola (small side salad with cherry tomatoes, pickled red onion and honey and mustard vinaigrette). Main three course menu, Della Casa-Bruschetta ai pomodorina (crispy focaccia with stracciatella, vegan 'nduja, and a mix of semi-dried and marinated tomatoes), Linguine ai frutti di mare ( classic pasta dish with mussels, scampi, heart shells in spicy tomato sauce), and Torte al limone ( tangy lemon crème, crispy short crust, topped with light Italian meringue). Pizza: Parma ai pomodori secchi ( prosciutto di Parma, chèvre cream, honey, semi dried tomatoes, mozzarella fior di latte, rocket -asked not to add this, and pine nuts). The food was amazing here. Just the timing of the service and presentation of dishes were unfortunate. Minus one star for the timing issues.

While there is an extensive pizza menu, I'm more of a seafood fan and ordered the Linguine al Frutti di Mare. The Linguine al Frutti di Mare is a pasta dish that serves mussels in a spicy tomato sauce. The sauce had a satisfying kick that gave the dish that umph I was looking for. However, the bread winner (literally): the focaccia bread-- perfectly seasoned and utterly addictive. The ambiance is warm and inviting, especially for those in the area.
