Baltazar Ristorante & Enoteca — Restaurant in Oslo

The good : Nice atmosphere, good service , good beer and good pizza in a good portion. Not the best pizza I have had, but quite nice. The bad : I ordered the alle vongole pasta that very clearly says that has vongole shells . I hope the restaurant isn't doing this on purpose but I did not get vongole. I got cockles ( hjerteskjell) . And since there is no cockles pasta I am assuming they are passing the cockles for vongole. Not cool. Cockles are cheeper to buy and much much smaller than vongole, plus for the people that know, they do taste differently as well. You wouldn't want to order cod and get pollock right?

However! The rose wine - suggested by Kasia was delightful and the...

I had some very fine food, but my buddy got some horrible food. My brother asked for a steak medium rare and instead he got an almost raw steak. It was purple inside almost, and it was like jelly almost.

Then soon after my brother returned the steak and asked for a better one, and already then the waiter was being pretty rude, she never smiled and she wasn't passive aggresive but you was on the offense trying to explain why the steak is fine.

Then my brother gets another steak that's just as bad as the other one. I'm pretty sure that he returned it one last time and got another bad steak.

He returned it and this time he asked for a margarita pizza and he instead got a salad pizza.

My brother just gave up and took the...
