Highly recommend. Service was on point. The room is comfortable and low noise. The dishes were simply presented with top quality ingredients. Our party of six had a great evening.

Excellent Italian restaurant, the seasonal dishes were nicely balanced and rich in taste respecting Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!

What an excellent meal, Server Giovanna was fun. Food was fresh Gnocchi fluffy light. Veggies olive oil just awesome. Drinks great Garden in back lovely ambience.

This was a really underwhelming experience. The atmosphere feels dated. The food is sort of old fashioned, nothing that you can't put together in your own kitchen. The waiter was sort of rude, dropping the plates to our table and taking too long to take our order or check on us.

I got the specials 6 oysters which were fresh & delicious. They had another special tuna and arugula salad. I asked if it was a dinner plate and the server indicated it was. When presented it was beautifully served. However there was just a thin smear of the tuna with a ball of arugula. Definitely not a dinner portion. At that point my guest were finishing up and I needed more. Probably my mistake but I wish the server explained the dish better

It's been years since my last time at L'Orcio. And after last night's wonderful dinner, I'm asking myself, "Why?" I had out of town visitors, and given the gorgeous weather, thought it would be nice to enjoy dinner with them in an "al fresco" setting. L'Orcio immediately came to mind, as the last time I ate there was on that magical trellised patio. We started with the octopus, which was cooked perfectly, and the tuna carpaccio, which we enjoyed, but perhaps was a bit overwhelmed by too large a pile of lightly dressed arugula. The homemade pastas are stars of this restaurant, and the Mediterranean seabass we shared was cooked perfectly. The desserts...the three of us each ordered something different and shared. Reluctant but curious, we ordered the tiramisu, which outshone all others I've had. The chocolate mousse was spectacular, as was the lemon ricotta cheesecake. Service was impeccable.

Excellent cocktails, food, service, and ambiance. A great place for al fresco dining for any occasion. Nicely busy on a Tuesday night.

Quaint restaurant. Service was prompt and food was delicious. The outside garden area looked wonderful and wish I had reserved that, next I will.

Fabulous. Closest food to Italy we've ever had. Lovely patio. Portions are not huge .. perfect size. Ricotta gnocchi and sauce was incredible. We are hard to please and L'Orcio did not disappoint! Looking forward to going back.

I honestly felt I was in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. The chef/owner will make sure you do. First time in my life we had to send back to the kitchen all of the 3 entrees.

The menu and evening specials are always consistent and rewarding. At times the staff can be inattentive and appear unhappy!!!!!! Wine listing is brief but reasonable for choices offered. Good ambience. Gem of a restaurant!

We had a very enjoyable dinner at L'Orcio this week. It was the perfect evening to dine outside on the patio. Our food was delicious and presented in an attractive manner. Kathleen, our server, did a great job and was very attentive. We were not rushed in any way. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!
