A taste of Italy

heart of Oslo, Amundsen & Nobile
is a bustling but cosy eatery. The
tables are adorned in red and white
checked cloths, old bottles of Chianti
are used as candle holders and loud,
helpful Italian waiting stuff buzz
around. The constantly changing
evening menu features classic Italian
dishes based on locally sourced,
seasonal ingredients. At lunchtime,
the restaurant has a smaller menu
but all dishes are reasonably priced,
so there’s no need to blow your
budget. Amundsen & Nobile is open
12pm-11pm, Monday - Sunday.
