We love our neighbors oven baked pizzas. They are open from 11-11 every day of the week. You can eat at their place or take away to our place. Try their GRISSINI cheesefilled breadsticks, they are to die for.

Very good ice cream, great to stop by if your are exploring the harbour area. Ice cream is very popular in Iceland, probably the only nation who enjoys eating frozen things in freezing weather
