We were looiing for Becco when we found Orso, we had a great pre-theatre dinner. The choices were pasta and the 1/2 boneless chicken. We would recommend this restaurant to all. Staff was attentive, portion size perfect and they brought out a complimentry dessert for my wife's birthday. M&J Gainesville, Florida more

The food is adequate. It is overpriced . The service is horrendous. The staff are arrogant and do not aim to please at all. I got the impression that they were a bunch of wanna-be actors/writers that did not make it. The atmsophere was as adequate as the food. I do not recommend this restaurant. A Greek diner is better... more

My friend Bob and I went just before Christmas. Ran into Glen Close on our way in. Everything was superb! The seafood pasta was even better the next day. Bob's liver was the best we've ever tasted. Karen from PA more

The Amaretto Sour was the best I ever had. I went here before seeing the Lion King. Convenient for a pre-broadway show but the food was horrible. Overpriced and bland. Blah. more

We came to Orso for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon and had a TERRIBLE experience. I will never return and will be sure to pass on this terrible story to as many people as possible. Being a civilized group we asked for bread plates but were rudely told they did not have any. Our bread was cold and... more

Had a bite here after the theater (December '07.) The "excellent" rating is because the service was wonderful, the portions outstanding, the prices reasonable and atmosphere Perfectly Broadway/Old New York. It isn't the best food in the world, but it's great. Pasta is very good. They really know how to do meat. The pizza is not the usual... very fresh... more

I had eaten at Orso many years ago and rememered the food being wonderful. (I may have been idealizing the experience a bit, as I met Greg Kinnear and Geoffrey Rush at Orso that same night!) We ate here for lunch before a play and were less than impressed. The service was great, and our waiter was very nice. The... more

I was on a week long holiday in NYC with my two sisters-law and my mother-in-law. Most evenings it was tough to find places to eat as two of our party would be quite picky. We chose Orso out of three Italian/steak places on a row in the street. We were not disappointed. The hostess ushered us to seats, no... more
