Great pre-theatre restaurant with consistently great Italian food.
Perfection for more than 20 years. What's not to like. One of the few things in New York you can still count on
Our last night in NYC and we had the best meal at Orso - food was delicious, service was outstanding and the restaurant was cozy and had a nice vibe. Fully recommend eating at Orso.
