About us
Italian cooking and Norwegian produce, in the very heart of Oslo
You will find us on Fridtjof Nansens plass, a stone’s throw from Oslo City Hall and the National Theatre, with Aker Brygge just around the corner. Here Italian cooking meets the finest Norwegian produce: food made the way it should taste in Italy, guided by the seasons and our local suppliers.
Our rooms by City Hall
Warm materials, soft lighting and plenty of space between the tables
The interior is inspired by Italy and designed to feel calm. In summer we open our large outdoor terrace in the heart of Oslo. Whether you come for a quick lunch, a long dinner or a private party, the rooms are set up so you feel well looked after.
The craft behind the food
Fresh pasta, a wood-fired stone oven and time enough to do it right
We believe in craft rather than shortcuts. Our pasta is made fresh, and our pizza is baked in a wood-fired stone oven, where the heat and smoke give it a crisp, blistered crust. Letting the dough rest and giving the sauce its time takes patience, and that is the whole point. You can see and taste the difference in every dish.
