My wife and I went here last night for our Valentines Day dinner (yes a few weeks late) on recommendation from some friends. Our waitress Jackie was very accommodating and friendly. We had the fried risotto balls and parm truffle croquettes for appetizers which were very good, and that’s where it ended.
We got a call from our baby sitter saying one of our kids was getting a fever and was acting out of sorts. We’ve never had to, but felt that it was time to leave early. We asked if we could wrap our pasta up to go, which they were great about. We paid for what we ate so far and left, knowing we would eventually come back.
As I got into the car, I saw someone running towards us. As they got closer I realized it was Jackie our waitress. I thought I left my wallet (which wouldn’t be a surprise) but she said the entrees just finished and they wanted us to have them. I didn’t pay for that part of our meal and I asked if I could, but Jackie said they insisted it was on the house because of our situation. We couldn’t believe it; one of the nicest things I’ve encountered.
After a 30 minute drive home and putting four kids to bed, we ate out to-go boxes an hour later, and they were incredible.
The food is very good, unique spins on dishes with ingredients that pair very well. Price was very reasonable for the quality of food. The restaurant is deceivingly large when you look from the outside. But it was the service that set it apart.
We can’t wait to stick around for dessert next time!

We love Orto! We visit every 6 weeks or so with friends, but this is the first time we went by ourselves and made our own reservation. The service and food are always on pointe! Orto offers an exceptional dining experience. Truly memorable, each time!

Having food, they donate to the Ronald McDonald house at Stonybrook and it is really nice of them to donate a lot here. I recommend friends, family and anyone reading this.

Some of the best food we've ever eaten! The short rib was absolutely amazing, just melted in your mouth. The rigatoni with pork shoulder was also delicious and the bucatini carbonara reminded us of pasta we had eaten in Rome! We also had a cheesecake for dessert that was delicious. Every single thing we ate was amazing. Janine was our waitress and she was so nice. Everything about this place was a 10/10. We will be back!

This little gem of a restaurant never disappoints! Ambiance is cozy and inviting, service is impeccable, and the food is unique, fresh, and delicious! Reasonably priced, a great, diversified prix fix menu, and BYOB with no corking fee! Our server, Sandra was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. Having a dietary restriction can be challenging when dining out but Sandra made the process effortless and food was perfect! Orto has become our fav spot! Thanks for another great experience!

I cannot say enough about our experience. There aren't any restaurants around here that have met this standard of quality and service. The wine, food, service and after dinner options were all perfect!
The portions were just right. The food was light and didn't leave us feeling heavy. The flavors were well paired. The cost was very reasonable. They also make their pasta in-house!
Great little hidden gem. Amazing food and service. Cash or checks only and bring your own wine is ok. Prix fix is 50 for three courses or 60 for four. Well worth it!! The frito misto fried appetizer was the best!!
