Vino al Vino

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The Italian on the Corner

Vino al Vino describes itself simply as "the Italian on the corner of Holbergs Plass" — and that straightforwardness is part of its appeal. Sitting at Holbergs Plass 4 in central Oslo, the restaurant, café and bar occupy informal, convivial premises where the focus falls squarely on Italian flavours and something good in the glass. In summer, the terrace opens up and the corner comes alive with outdoor seating.

A Place for Lunch, Dinner and Good Company

The kitchen serves both lunch and dinner, making Vino al Vino one of the more versatile Italian addresses in Oslo. The offer extends to private dining — the restaurant actively invites guests to book the space for group evenings, promising a flavourful and enjoyable experience in their own surroundings. A dedicated drinks menu sits alongside the food menu, signalling that the wine side of things is taken seriously — something you would expect from a name that translates simply as "wine to wine."

Recognition Worth Noting

That seriousness has not gone unnoticed. Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative guide to Italian food and drink culture, awarded Vino al Vino a fork in its 2024 edition — a meaningful endorsement for an Italian restaurant operating outside Italy, where the bar for authenticity is set by the guide's own homeland standards.

What to Expect

The atmosphere is described as uformelle og hyggelige — informal and pleasant — with table service throughout. The combination of a relaxed room, an Italian kitchen open into the evening and a thoughtful wine list makes Vino al Vino a reliable choice whether you are dropping in for a weekday lunch or settling in for a longer dinner with friends.
