👍 Now this is a cozy italian restaurant in the heart of Bergen. It's placed 50 meters from the entrance to Floien and has a staff that only speaks english. They can offer all from pizza margheritas, risotto to local fish and savoury steaks. Once you come in youre met with a small restaurant and a plea... People often mention good, restaurant, Good,

    Now this is a cozy italian restaurant in the heart of Bergen. It's placed 50 meters from the entrance to Floien and has a staff that only speaks english. They can offer all from pizza margheritas, risotto to local fish and savoury steaks. Once you come in youre met with a small restaurant and a pleasant staff. You order your food and while you wait for the food you'll get some homemade bread with a delicious butter. This time I had a parsille butter. Delicious. The only downside was loud music and the minor anxiety attack caused by claustrophobia due to the tables being really close to one another. You feel you're dining with the ones next to you. Other than that, good italian food for decent prices.

    Conveniently located between the wharf and the entrance to the Fløibanen, it is easy to think of it as a tourist trap. I don't want to say that, but it's not exactly top notch either. Delicate decor but too cramped in my opinion these days. Staff were available but lacking something in terms of friendliness in relation to Olivia. The food is almost authentic Italian. I liked that, even though the Caprese was very ordinary. Gluten-free options. Parking in p house. Close to public transport.

    Best veggie pizza ever ANYWHERE!! They were fully booked, and we didn't have a reservation...but squeezed us in anyway...lucky us. Fresh quality ingredients. Friendly service. A very happy experience on a drizzly evening.

    Decent, good food, fast...small and stressful. Good price (for Norway, expensive for rest of Europe) Not bad but can be improved 😉

    Tasty Italian food just in the heart of the city center. Works till late night, nimble staff, above expectations. Would definitely recommend it!

    Asked for a table by the window but server put us in a table in the hallway by the bathroom instead, while declaring "this is better." It was only better for the restaurant! After then forgetting about us back there, things got better when the food arrived. We're vegetarian and our server accepted our modification requests with ease, read them back to be sure, and delivered really good food: linguine with tomato sauce (instead of bolognese) and homemade spinach and ricotta ravioli with tomato sauce (instead of cream sauce). So good! Will return soon. 3 stars for the first impression and being put out of the way, 5 stars for the food.

    Lovely food but very small portions. Small selection of gluten-free options.

    Amazing Pasta! Such a cute little restaurant with a fantastic Italian menu! No complaints from the complimentary bread ( and what I'm assuming was pesto garlic butter) to my amazing Carbonera. Thank you so much for being my best meal in Bergen, and a very friendly waiter who squeezed us in even without a reservation. ( Make one you'll be happy you did)

    Very cozy atmosphere, friendly service, large selection on the menu. The price is a bit more intense and the pizzas aren't really that great in terms of taste.

    Ate pasta there. It was good, but it was small and expensive.

    As a lone female traveller I get intimidated by restaurants and everything alike, especially when there is a language barrier. However, the service was lovely and didn’t ostracize my tourist confused self unlike other places I have been. To make things even easier, they had an english menu. The food was delicious and not terribly expensive either. The place is a bit small so be weary about going in peak times and with a bigger group. Overall a great time!

    Great for late lunch, so long as not in a hurry. No rush even though you’re in a busy part of town, so great for time out of the maddening crowd. Portions were good size and food was tasty. Price is reasonably good for Bergen.

    Good Vegetarian food, cozy atmosphere and economical. We ordered a Pizza and Al Pesto pasta. Both were quite tasty. Bread and pesto sauce was a bonus and it was super soft and fresh. A nice place to have lunch, when it’s raining outside.

    Good Italian restaurant with rustic decor and pleasant tables. Staff helpful and food very good with very nice free roll and herb butter. Prices as with all cafes and restaurants in Norway are seriously high, not far short of at least double UK prices.

    Very good pasta and caprese salad. Good wines. Can't get top because the reindeer fillet was WAY TOO MUCH fried. And because the waiter didn't ask how you wanted it fried. But all in all a good restaurant experience.
