It’s from the riverbank that Porsgrunn shows itself at its finest. When the sun shimmers on the ripples in summer, when the fog drifts in from the fjord in autumn, when the snow falls or the gentle spring rain washes it away – for people from Porsgrunn, watching the river flow by is part of our identity.
At Øya, you get the city’s best river view. Cozy and warm indoors on cold days, and with a very attractive outdoor seating area in the summer.
Inspired by Italian trattorias, we serve freshly baked pizza made with homemade dough from our pizza oven in the middle of the restaurant. You’ll find affordable small dishes and flavourful Italian wines. Good food inspired by the everyday Italian meals we Norwegians love.
And you won’t have to choose between tonnarelli and bucatini.
To be honest – how many of us really know the difference?
With us, you’re welcome to just enjoy an espresso or cappuccino, or stop by for lunch with friends or colleagues. Or come for dinner – both casual weekday meals and special occasions should feel like something extra. Maybe you’ll book our private room, where you can eat and talk in peace.
No matter what, we’ll meet you with what Italians are best known for – a love of the culinary arts and an inviting atmosphere in this new neighbourhood restaurant with a fantastic location along the Porsgrunn River.
