Basso Social

The Spis take

An Italian 'social dining' restaurant in central Oslo on Storgata (part of the DiningSix group, with a Bergen sibling), where the format is a set multi-course journey of 10 or 13 small servings meant to be shared. The cooking leans Italian with a Nordic twist, using local ingredients to riff on the tradition, and there are lighter drop-in options like the Friday 'Italian Hour' snack-and-drink slot. It's a fun, slightly theatrical group night out; whether the chain-concept polish is your thing is the real question.
