This is consistently one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! Whatever we order is always delicious.

Always a great evening, especially pre-theatre. Server was good, host very friendly and helpful.
Greg
Greeted immediately and offered choice of two tables-one in front and one in back. Service was very good. Food was good but menu options are very limited. Salad and rigatoni were excellent.

The best part about Orso is the food - everyone in our party enjoyed their dish. However service is lacking. For example, we got bread for the table but no bread plates. We sat and waited to see our waiter again to ask for the plates and when he finally came by he said oh, I can bring them, but we don't really do bread plates here. Um what? We saw every other table with them and that's just weird. Ambiance is outdated and meh.

Small place on restaurant row. Service was excellent. The menu is limited (4 pastas, 4 main entrees, etc.), but the food was great. Prices are reasonable for NYC. I had the spagatini with shrimp and mussels, the seafood was very fresh, and the sauce was tasty.

Wonderful restsurant for pretheater dinner. Love the menu and happy that calves liver remains an option since the 80's. Waiters are professional and get you out easily in time for a Broadway show.

Carlos was an absolutely phenomenal waiter! From the moment we were seated, his attentiveness and genuine care for our dining experience stood out. The food was absolutely insane, and both Carlos and his trainer guided us to the most phenomenal night. He anticipated our needs, made thoughtful recommendations, and ensured every detail was perfect. Dining felt effortless and enjoyable thanks to his professionalism and warm personality. Truly exceptional service—Carlos made our meal unforgettable!

Amazing time as always. Great food and service. They never make you feel rushed and let you enjoy the entire dining experience.

Lovely spot that is lively, yet quiet enough to talk peacefully with your dinner companions. The food is very good and our server was kind and upbeat. We had the fettuccine with seafood and the bolognese which were both delicious. Buffalo mozzarella salad was very tasty with quality tomatoes and exceptionally fresh pesto. Olive oil cake was scrumptious for a shared dessert. Highly recommend.
Great unpretentious midtown Italian that serves very good food with excellent service. Some might find the menu a little limited, but the choices should appeal to the majority of palates. Drinks were reasonably priced and good. Recommended.

Went on a Thursday after a show and had a Quiet intimate atmosphere. Staff were amazing, welcoming and not overwhelming. Husband and I had pizza, rigatoni and drinks. I dont eat meat but still enjoyed. No long waits. I recommend for a classy experience.

Whenever I am in NYC, ORSO is one of my go to restaurants as everything about it is First Class. Everyone makes you feel welcomed and the service and food never disappoint; although the pizza was average.
Lori
I had never been and neither had the people I brought so it was great. Rigatoni bolognese delicious.

My go to place after the theater. Always delicious with friendly service! Been going since it first opened. Always a great spot for celebrity sightings...
