Basso Social builds its dinner around an Italian-inspired social-dining menu of 10 or 13 servings. Dishes change with the season and use Nordic ingredients alongside Italian ideas, so the evening is a shared tasting experience rather than a standard quick meal. The restaurant publishes food and wine menus on its site and takes table reservations online. Check the current menu and allow time for several courses; this is a place to make dinner the main plan of the evening.

Delicatessen is a go-to classic for casual and authentic Spanish tapas in Oslo, offering rich flavors in cozy, welcoming settings. The menu features an enticing spread of shared plates ranging from juicy albondigas and patatas bravas to pimientos de padrón and cured meats, with most dishes priced around 90 to 180 NOK. A good rule of thumb is ordering about 3 to 4 dishes per person for a satisfying meal, or simply filling the table to share everything with the group. A total must try is their creamy chèvre chaud served with honey and nuts. The concept works brilliantly whether you are on a low-key date for two or bringing a bigger group together around a long table. With favorite spots in Grünerløkka, Majorstuen, and Aker Brygge, you are never far from a proper Spanish tapas feast. Just make sure to clarify which location you are meeting at beforehand, as I have definitely made that mistake and shown up at the wrong spot myself.
