Pretty solid Italian food considering we're in Oslo and the restaurant ambiance was quite nice…read more Ruffino's food tasted as good as their restaurant looked. I split the bruschetta with my friend and boy was it delicious - the tomatoes tasted extremely fresh and the crunch of the toast was amazing. I opted for the risotto and it definitely was one of the better ones I've tasted. There was a ton of flavor packed into the broth and it was creamy enough, but not too overwhelming. I would just say that the there just was a bit too much cheese for me, but it did not deduct from the overall experience. The service was exceptional and quick, totally would recommend!

Lively, but not loud. We had a nice chat with our server, Flavia, who turned out to be the "boss's (Fabio Pezzoli) daughter", and a delightful young woman! Fabio sent out a complimentary bruschetta for us to enjoy with our wine as we settled in. After hearing the specials and scouring the menu we ordered a pizza and a house made fettuccine with a creamy parmesan black pepper truffle sauce. Served with sliced truffles, it was a superb dish! I can honestly say that it was one of the best pasta dishes in recent memory! The pizza was thin, crispy and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert, I enjoyed an espresso and a perfect panna cotta. Caroline simply enjoyed her wine. We closed the restaurant after visiting with Fabio and his friend, a well-known local writer Erik Fosnes Hansen. It was a memorable evening and I'd not only highly recommend this local treasure, but would return in a heartbeat if in Oslo.

The Italian-accented staff gives the place a genuine vibe and one bite of the pizza continues the trend. I had the 'In Bufalata' (Buffalo mozzarella, semidried cherry tomato, basil and olive oil) and very much enjoyed the crisp, chewy crust and well-balanced sauce. I dug the fact that wine was available in several sizes: liter, half liter and glass. It was a school night so a half liter shared between the two of us was perfect. You'll want to book ahead as the place fills up fast.

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.

We sat outside and hoped to look like a fellow Norwegian enjoying the night, the food, the drink and the company. Had the hanger steak with arugula salad. It had a chimi sauce.

I liked the seating location as it faces the "Y" of a main road. One can see the people, tram and car traffic going by. Very friendly staff and attentive.

We decided to sit inside because it was more private, since everybody was dining outside. Now their menu options are limited. I ended up ordering Italian meat soup. I absolutely disliked this soup. The owner / manager explained that they cook it exactly the way Italian meat soup is done. It might be the case, but it just tasted to strong and pungent. I let my friend tried a bit and she didn't like it either. I just think it was a flavor that Americans are not used to. My friend ordered the oxtail ravioli. That was actually really good. Service here wasn't great either. Apparently that's a common complain. Anyways I ended up spending $20 on a bowl of soup I detested.

Oh I will prove to you if I can! The portion sizes are much reasonable unlike the absurdly large slices you get in the US.
