Teatro

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Italian pizza, rethought

Situated inside Hotel Christiania Teater on Stortingsgata 16, just steps from Oslo City Hall, Teatro takes Italian pizza as its foundation and builds from there. The kitchen is not bound to tradition — instead it pursues original flavour combinations that go well beyond the expected, while keeping the Italian soul of the dish intact.

Red pizzas start with tomatoes imported from Italy, carefully seasoned for balance. White pizzas use a crème fraîche base enriched with garlic, wine and herbs. The result, once the oven does its work, is aromatic and deeply flavoured. Standout options from the menu include the Løyrom — cauliflower, dill and lemon on a white base — the Steak with smoked chilli, Vadouvan oil and pickled red cabbage, and the Diablo featuring Spianata Calabrese, Pecorino Romano and a double hit of red and green chilli. There is also a Vegan Drama for plant-based diners, and a Kids Pizza keeping the younger crowd happy.

Gelato and the wine list

Dessert at Teatro means homemade gelato, produced in-house in flavours ranging from Salty Caramel and Mascarpone & Chocolate Chips to Licorice & Raspberries. Sorbets — Strawberry & Champagne, Passion Fruit — round out the options, and a full eight-flavour gelato platter is available for the indecisive.

The wine programme has earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, a mark of a list that goes well beyond the expected for a pizza restaurant. That recognition, alongside a Gambero Rosso slice — the Italian guide that knows its way around a pizza better than most — confirms Teatro's standing as a serious address for Italian food in Oslo.

The space

The restaurant offers several distinct settings: a lounge, a mezzanine level (Messanin), a Chambre Séparée for private dining, the Teatrobar, and a dedicated event space. Nationaltheatret subway station is the closest stop, with tram access a short walk away.
