The Spis take

A long-running, crowd-pleasing Italian on Fridtjof Nansens plass, handy for the National Theatre and City Hall. Expect a broad menu of pizza, pasta and classic mains in a cozy, slightly old-school room — the lasagna and pastas tend to be the safe bets, and portions are generous. It's dependable rather than destination dining, with the usual central-Oslo prices and service that can wobble when it fills up, but it draws a steady crowd for a reason.
