Just left this restaurant with a group of friends and had a great experience except for one particular staff member at the coat check which completely changed our memory of the night. We loved our dinner and the wait staff was outstanding but upon leaving I went to retrieve my coat from the coat check. I apologized for not having any cash on hand (as a tip) and the coat check man’s response was “well…didn’t you know that you didn’t have cash before you checked your coat?” We all left the restaurant in disbelief….especially as we spent over $600 for our dinner. Unfortunately, this rude comment, the last thing said before we left the restaurant, is now what we will remember most about this restaurant instead of the great experience we had.

We had just the most wonderful time! The restaurant is cozy and intimate, with a very pleasant, romantic decor. The coat check was very helpful with our winter wear, and the host was fantastic. We arrived a bit early for our reservation but were able to be sat right away, even with the pre-theater crowd, which was bustling!
My wife had planned out our dining for my 40th birthday celebration, and this place was just perfect. We are total foodies from Chicago. We love to watch cooking shows, cook at home, and eat at wonderful restaurants, and truly the meal tonight at Orso was one of the best I’ve ever had. The kitchen is TALENTED, and they deserve much praise!
Our whole evening was made even better by the wonderful service from our server Nicole. Her warm and friendly personality, expertise, and professionalism helped to make the birthday dinner feel special, and now we can’t wait to return back for another meal during a future visit to NYC! Thank you, Nicole!
This is the perfect spot to dine before a show, or the perfect spot to dine, period.

Great place to dine before a show. Allergy aware. Food was delicious. Service was fabulous!

We were running late after the theater and they welcomed us with open arms and the food was unbelievable.
Naomi
Food and service were excellent. It's a little pricey but they clearly use high quality ingredients, and the portions were generous. Could easily share appetizers and salads. Leave 1 hour+ for pre-theater dinner. Service wasn't slow but they do not rush (and you want time to enjoy your dinner).

Have been going to Orso after theater for years. My favorite NYC restaurant. Always excellent in every way.
Rory
Excellent Italian cuisine in the heart of theater land NY. Great customer service, good selection of wines and beers and good prices. Delicious white pizza with truffle and burrata, pappardelle with rabbit, and veal liver. Full marks for a wonderful evening and great value.
One of my favorite places in midtown just off or the Broadway theater district. Very fresh house made pastas. Wait staff and host are always welcoming and pride great service. Highly recommend Orso!
Allison
Food, service, ambience all wonderful. Small Italian cuisine based restaurant offering an outstanding meal service.
James
The numero uno pre or post Broadway eating destination. Classic home made Italian salads pizzas pasta mains and dolce. The wait staff tells me more about show biz than the NYT.
Leila
The food is excellent, a reflection of the decision to maintain a small menu. Better o do a few things very well than offer many mediocre things. Prices were reasonable for NYC midtown. It's a small place, so reservations are a must. The service is excellent - efficient and unobtrusive.
