Spend at least one sunny summer afternoon harborside at Aker Brygge/Tjuvholmen eating in one of the many seafood restaurants and watching the world go by. Or buy steamed shrimp off the nearby docked fishing boats and plan a picnic on one of the islands in the Oslo fjord or Vigeland or another of the city's parks. Note that some restaurants close for a week around Easter, in July, and during the Christmas holiday season. Some restaurants are also closed on Sunday.
Just out of Sentrum but within spitting distance, this low-lit and minimalist modern Korean kitchen has made waves since it opened a few years ago. The snacks are as hyped as the mains, which move between delicate and gourmet to straight-up comfort eats. Scallops, purees, bibimbaps and a delightful sake, rice wine and wine pairing is a big hit. Good for couples or solo diners.
Not far out of Sentrum in the tiny Sofienberg district is this riveting sake bar and izakaya from those behind the original Izakaya. Slip through the doors into moody lighting and real Tokyo backstreet feels. Great records being spun, friendly staff, excellent sake imports and affordable Japanese fare. No website, classic vibes.
Featuring famous sourdough pizzas, this tiny osteria has the traditional checkered tablecloths and striped awning that call to mind the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Serving the city's most authentic pie—head and shoulders above its overpriced competitors—the eatery takes things one step further with refreshing yet strong cocktails or classic aperitifs served while you wait.
You may not have set out on a trip to Italy, but you'll feel like that's where you ended up at this Naples-inspired eatery focusing on delicious dishes like fried mozzarella balls, seafood risotto, and wood-fired pizzas topped with imported ingredients. The dining room is elegant, but you'll want to talk your way into a table overlooking the boats in the harbor.
The menu at this Italian eatery is inspired by the cuisine of Rome, so the pastas and pizzas are made with fresh ingredients and are always delicious. There's a comfortable two-level dining room, but most people prefer the leafy courtyard where blankets and heaters ward off the chill. Desserts range from gelato to tiramisu to chocolate soufflé.
This much-adored family-friendly Italian chain always delivers with dazzling harbor views, comfy furnishings, and a friendly staff. You can dine outside under pretty parasols even if the weather is a bit chilly, thanks to blankets and heat lamps. The Venice-influenced menu includes tuna carpaccio and sausage risotto served with a deliciously oily and herby focaccia to mop up the sauce.
Named for owner Domenico Giardina—known to everyone as Mimmo—this is Oslo’s best pizzeria. In 1993, the native of Calabria was the first to bring thin-crust Italian pizza to the city. Don't miss his perennially popular panna and prosciutto pizza. Look down to find the entrance, because this eatery is on the basement level.
Run by a family who found themselves returning from a trip to Italy with a pizza oven, Villa Paradiso makes incredible Neopolitan pies. In an old building with vintage lamps and wood paneling, this trattoria is one of the very best in the neighborhood. The focaccia bruschetta is tasty, as are the adventurous antipasti.
