This is a little gem of a neighborhood restaurant. Fresh seasonal food, creative dishes, friendly, and efficient service. Love it!

Had a lovely dinner at L'Orcio. Food was amazing and the gnocchi was the best I have ever had.
Sondra
We really enjoyed celebrating Father's Day with authentic Italian food. Especially the fresh gnocchi with vodka sauce. Great service and atmosphere. Looking forward to returning when weather is nice to eat on the back patio.

We had high expectations, based on the reviews, and we were disappointed by both the quality of what was served to us and the manner in which it was served. The eggplant in the veggie antipasto and the octopus in that antipasto were burned. The pesto cream in the veggie antipasto was broken. Our pasta dish was served with our entrees, instead of as the second dish. The cocktails were good, but the wine list was not. In fact, the bottle we wanted to order was not available. The outdoor seating space was very nice.

Great authentic Italian food at a reasonable price. Not salty at all, which for some reason a lot of restaurants douse their food with. Great ambiance. We sat inside but there is outside seating also.
Kristin
As always the food was wonderful. We sat down and waited for 15 minutes while the servers were talking in view. We ordered salad and didn't get it. She offered to bring it after our dinner. No Thanks.
Barbara
Our entrees were outstanding: Gnocchi with red sauce, Gnocchi with vodka sauce both tasted like little puffy clouds! So delicious and so unique! The rigatoni was very good and the special of the day ravioli were good but undercooked for my taste. I like my pasta soft; not al dente. The Caesar Kale was a startling disappointment. Thought we'd enjoy a new take on the traditional greens but this was very tasteless and dry. We look forward to dining at L'Orcia again soon. You're one of our favorite italian restaurants in CT!
Pamela
Amazing food and fantastic service. The appetizer salad special with shrimp and a limoncello vinaigrette was outstanding as were the gnocchi-so light! It can get a little loud (we were upstairs) when full, but not overwhelming. Would go again anytime!
Amy
Outstanding as always. Food is always consistently amazing. Everything is home made and wonderful....great quality of food.
Toni
There were many options of appetizers, entrees, and desserts! We all ordered differently to enable a vast sampling of delicacies. All 6 of us were pleased and satiated by the 3 courses!The food was authentic Italian cuisine and fabulous!This restaurant is a gem! I wish we would have discovered this sooner in our visits to New Haven!!!!
I've been eating at L'Orcio on the regular since Valentine's Day 2004 and never had a bad meal! That's 21 years of you weren't paying attention. It's my family's go to for special occasions. Love L'Orcio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful experience and accommodating hospitality and service team. The food was delicious; the jazz music playing in the background is a nice touch. I would return in warmer weather to experience the patio. The chef and team served us quickly per my request ensuring we arrived timely at a jazz concert at the Lyman. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere!

You know how to cook a pork chop perfectly. Also, the grilled octopus was terrific. We look forward to dining with you every time we come to New Haven.

Haven't been here in years. I was very glad that it was just as good as I remembered. I would definitely go back again soon and not wait years.
