Old school Italian, quite reasonably priced, fantastic atmosphere. Their martini is ice cold, very large, and delicious.

Marsala and two fish dishes were very good. Very noisy probably to encourage turnover. Prices reasonable.

Patio dining in May. Love that it’s covered so in case it rains, we won’t be affected.Calamari: really tender. Better than anywhere else. Also love the color of batter is light in color.Mixed Greens: got it split in half between me and my friend. Nice portion, perfect balance of sauce & greens. Strawberries, walnut, goat cheese with greens and balsamic vinaigrette— it’s my kind of salad!Risotto: it was on special menu. Got it split into 2 also. It was too salty though, but yet lacked flavor. I added Parmesan cheese to make it more tolerable. Sausage was also salty too. Skip risotto. Next time, pizza for me!

If you’re in this part of town, this is an amazing spot to go to. Prices are incredible and service was great. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the city. It might be my official go-to. Server’s recommendation were great.

It was a lovely March day, the patio was open. It was a very lovely experience. The staff is very well trained and attended to our every need. The food was full of authentic flavors, for a moment I thought I was in Italy ?? !Parking: You can park at Dom's Kitchen which is 2 blocks south on the same side of the street. You will have to make a purchase at Dom's Kitchen to gain 2 free hours of parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are catered to just as the paying adults. The kids' menu is simple, which has children's favorites such as meatballs, fresh salads, and the forever go-to French fries ?. They also give you a cool coloring activity with crayons ? to keep the little ones off devices and creating art ?.

We went into Orsos before an evening we had planned at a comedy club locally. This place was that good that we skipped the comedy club to stay longer and enjoy an additional course and some drinks.I'm visiting from the UK with some friends and we're not short of some very good Italian restaurants back home but Orsos is by far the best Italian food I have ever had.Our server Jacob was amazing, nothing was to much, really attentive and served with a smile.I can not recommend Orsos enough, this place is an absolute must if you're in the neighborhood.

It’s good, but it’s not rave worthy. The atmosphere and location make this place a hot spot, but the food is ok. It’ll make you full and satisfied, but not blow your mind.

A quaint restaurant reminiscent of old Italian restaurants. Great food. Best Italian beef I've ever had. Sausage and peppers are delicious, too. Being Italian, I was very impressed.
