Villa Paradiso Frogner — Restaurant in Oslo

Most overrated restaurant in Oslo! Last time I went I had a terrible experience. First we waited for more than one hour for two pizzas. When we were finally served, the pizzas were not done at all, the dough was still raw, soggy and too thick for an Italian pizza. After eating a small piece, I decided it was not edible so I kindly returned the pizza to have it baked a bit more. After another long wait the waitress returned to tell me that the pizza was thrown away by accident so they had to make a new pizza for me. After waiting for a third time I finally received the second pizza and it was still too raw, the crust was too thick, too doughy, and not crisp at all as an Italian pizza should be. After finishing the barely edible pizza I received a passive aggressive comment from the rude waitress about eating almost two pizzas for the price of one, which was also not true because I hardly ate the first one and I never asked for a second pizza. The waitress made no attempt to apologize for the delays and the inconvenience. I'm never...

Considering the raving reviews about this place and their pizzas, I was really looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately it was not quite what I expected... I simply ordered a Capricciosa. The service was very good but I was quite surprised by what I was served. The taste of the pizza was good, the sourdough was cooked to perfection and very tasty, as well as the tomato sauce, but the pleasure stops right here. Indeed the toppings were a completely different story as I really had to "look for" the cooked ham which was mostly very few pieces on one side of the pizza only, the very few mushrooms and the 3 tiny pieces of artichokes... So basically I mostly ate very good dough with tomato sauce on it... Their pizzas are quite pricey so one expects to have a more decent quantity of food on the dough... What I had is not acceptable standards and certainly not good value for money. It's a shame as, once again, the taste...

At first I quickly was waited upon, I felt most welcome and they made my pizza in no time! «Hey!», I thought. «This was nice! I want to come back and make this one of my favourite places!». But then, after a long struggle between a really dull knife, the pizza and myself, I was completely ignored for 10 minutes. Then they quickly cleared and cleaned my table, but avoided me. I sat again for over 15 long minutes. I tried to contact my waiter over and over again, because I was craving some espresso and some dessert. It was not so busy for them and more than enough time for them to look my way and ask if I wanted some more. I felt so alone and unwelcome. Nope. In the end, I stood up, payed and then I left to drink coffee...
