Aperitivo in Stavanger

If you have been to Italy you might have noticed that there is a tradition for something called “aperitivo”. This means that you go to a bar in the afternoon and order a pre-dinner drink and you get snack as a part of the deal. If you are not careful you end up spoiling the dinner plans as there can be a lot of delicious snack available. If you do go to aperitivo in Italy remember to try out the Aperol Spritz by the way.

Anyway – it is now possible to get a slice of Italy in Stavanger. Renaa Xpress in Sølvberget. If you go there on a Friday night from 7 to 9 you can just buy an alcoholic drink and then you get a platter of a pasta, some sausages, salad and bread and you can help yourself to pizza that are being made in the wood fired oven. I think there was only two types of pizza being made when we were there – the Tante Margrete (the pizza margherita Renaa style) and Emilia Romagna – a pizza with parma ham, tomato and ricotta. The Tante Margrete pizza is excellent! All in all I think this must be one of the best kept secrets in Stavanger when it comes to eating out. Where else can you buy a glass of red wine and eat as much as you want? So next time you go to the movies on a Friday night be sure to stop by Renaa Xpress
You can read more about Renaa Xpress on their homepage and you can also check out the evening menu.
