For our first dinner in Oslo, we didn't want to go too far from the hotel to have dinner. Walking…read moredown the street we saw this little italian restaurant serving pizza. My friend had mentioned they had quite good pizza, and since the place wasn't busy, we decided to give it a try. The place is small, fitting around 12 to 15 people maximum and there was only one employee serving and making the pizza that day. I got the prosciutto pizza and my husband got the indiavolata pizza. The crust was freshly made and delicious but I would have loved more toppings on mine as I only had a few poor slices of prosciutto and not much cheese. For two individual pizzas, we paid 237 Kr, which is around 28$US. Note that tips are included so you don't need to give any if you don't want to. For those who don't want to eat in the restaurant, you can also buy it to go, which many people did while we were there. They have a large range of focaccia, polpette and lasagna as well. They also have different products that you can buy such as olive oil, pasta etc. The service was good and quite fast, despite the woman being alone doing everything.

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.
