Had a perfect Italian dinner with my girlfriend, very polite and friendly staff! Greatly greatly recommended! Not at all pricey when you get that good food! :)

We were two couples dropping into this place on a very chilly sunday evening in Oslo. I had been recommended Ruffino by a friend, but we were late and had no reservation. No problem as the restaurant was barely half full. We were welcomed by an italian waiter, a very nice person who took really good care of us the... More

I've been here a couple of times. The first time I had some pasta that tasted nice, but the second time I had a lasagna that didn't taste so fresh. I would say that the food is average and expensive compared to the quality, but the service is great and the atmosphere is very intimate.

Wow. Went to Ruffino's wanting a decent meal on the last night of our holiday - Ruffino's was so much more than we expected. Of course we had to pay Oslo wine prices but the house wine was so good it almost felt worth it. Pasta was homemade and truffle oil had huge chunks of delicious truffle (not the tiny... More

Was for one night in Oslo and after a short sightseeing walk, we came across this restaurant. Luckily we could sit down without having a reservation and we are very satisfied with the quality of the food and service. We had some bread to start with fantastic olive oil (I wish I could have taken some with me :-) )... More

Very good location close to Royal castle and Ibsen museum. Calm atmosphere for couples and small groups. Italian food with good quality. Good service and average prices for this type of restaurant. Our group of four enjoyed the evening.

We just dropped in on a weekday evening. Although we had not reserved a table, we were warmly welcomed and placed at a nice table. The atmosphere is friendly and the service excellent. The food was amazing and really good.

A few meters from our appartment, this Italian restaurant was a nice pick to avoid walking too long in Siberian temperatures ! Good food, warm welcome from real Italian boss and waiters, everything was fine, e.g. well cooked pastas. Of course, you are in Oslo, so the prices are well above what you would pay in almost any other place... More

Our plane was delayed so we didn't get to the restaurant until 21.45 on a Monday night. It was still relatively busy and at no time were we rushed despite being the last diners by the end of the evening. The menu is not hugely extensive but everything that we ordered was cooked to perfection and one of my friends... More

We booked a table on a weekday. The restaurant was not full of customers, but I guess it would be smart to make a reservation if you want to be certain to get a table. The service was very nice. The waiter was attentive and was refilling our glasses with both water and wine throughout the entire meal. The waiter... More
