Pizzaiolo

Description of Company:
Idyllically located on the pier in Kragerø you will find Tollboden Restaurant, a very popular eatery throughout the year. In summer you can sit out on the pier, while enjoying the city's best pizza and a cold glass of wine. Throughout July, concerts are arranged with well-known artists such as Arne Hurlen and Odd Nordstoga, while enjoying a three-course menu and something good to drink.

In winter or on a cold day, you can pull into the boathouse, where it is lit in the large, open fireplace. The food concept for the winter is based on multi-course menus and carefully selected dishes from our a la carte menu, based on high-quality ingredients.

The wine cellar is recognized and has been awarded two glasses in Wine Spectator (the wine's answer to the Michelin guide) year after year, in addition, the cellar has been nominated for "Norway's best wine list" in Kapital's annual award.
