Diners often praise the friendly and attentive service, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere.

"A very nice Italian place in the centre of Oslo. The waiters were very polite and despite the place being packed when I arrived without a reservation, they still managed to get me a table. There is quite some variety in the menu and everything was tasty. Spaghetti were properly cooked and the starters and desert were also very tasty. Definitely recommending the place if you are in the mood of some Italian."

"The restaurant is looking very well, it has a nice atmosphere. The serving is kindly. The food arrived quick and it was tasty. It has an entrance from the station and one from outside. The drinks looks nice. The prices are regular for Oslo."

"Really fun atrium space with old world charm. Reservation recommended. My gluten free pizza was perfectly prepared. Our waitress was amazingly attentive. It was walking distance from our hotel, and is near the Library and Opera. Very conveniently located."

Top Restaurants In Oslo Norway
Olivia opened in 2006 and has since established itself as a chilled and summery Italian haven in not one, but three separate Oslo locations, with hand-stretched pizzas and fresh pasta and antipasti. Though the menus are the same in each location, the views and experience widely differ, with a choice between the castle and fjords to accompany your dish, a shopper’s delight surrounded by brand names, or the city’s finest museums. Outdoor heating in each restaurant means that even in the coldest peak of the Norwegian winter it’s possible to sit outside and enjoy whichever view one chooses.

One of the many restaurants to be found in the bustling Aker Brygge area, Olivia stands out thanks to its array of delicious Italian fare from risotto to pizzas, scrumptious desserts, salads and more. It’s situated right on the pier, so you get a pretty excellent view with you food. The prices aren’t bad either, considering the quality and quantity of the food on offer, with main courses starting at around 130NOK.

Gluten Free Oslo Travel Guide
A chain of upmarket Italian restaurants across Norway and there are a couple of Olivia restaurants in Oslo. They have gluten free pizzas and pasta (including lasagne) and coeliac friendly cooking processes. I tried their pizza and it was delish.

Originally the plan was just Copenhagen and Amsterdam, but my friend, Olivia, is absolutely obsessed with Norway and wanted to tack that on to our trip too. I am so, so glad we did. Here’s what we got up to in the short time we were in Oslo:
