An Italian wine list of such depth, breadth and coherence like the one at Trattoria Popolare is hard to find, even in Italy. The articulate offer features a large presence of natural wines such as Cornelissen and Occhipinti, as well as big vintage classics with non-Norwegian prices (forced on restaurants by the Vinmonopolet taxing). And with the wine list comes a classic, wholesome and no-nonsense cuisine. The Tagliatelle with ragu of wild boar were delicious, as well as the stewed squid, and the homemade gelato. Young and courteous service. Oh, and the house red wine is just as enticing…
