Benvenuti!
Even though Norway is a Nordic country, we highly recommend the Italian Olivia restaurant. This restaurant of modern design, with its pleasant ambient and high ceilings can be found in several locations in Oslo, in Aker Brygge, Tjuvholmen, Hegdehaugsveien, Østbanehallen and Egertorget. We particularly recommend visiting the restaurant in Aker Brygge, which is the first Olivia restaurant that opened its doors in Oslo, starting in 2006. The restaurant in Aker Brygge is inspired by Naples, and every single restaurant from this chain, although the interior is mostly similar from one to another, is inspired by a different Italian town.
The authentic Italian kitchen, as well as the fireplaces, lights, candles, the pleasant atmosphere, comfort and the overall laid-back effect will give you the unique chance to experience Italy in Oslo. The true Napoli feel has been preserved in the Aker Brygge, with the chance to sit and dine, sipping a nice glass of Italian wine on the balcony overlooking the pier, the sea, the fjord, as well as the Akershus Fortress, a true experience to remember.
The menu consists of appetizers and many dishes intended to be enjoyed as mains, a wide variety of pizzas, pastas, risottos and salads among other specialties. You might opt for one of the best pizzas in Norway, characteristic for its thin, crispy crust, baked in a wood-fired oven.
