    Excellent quaint place tucked away in the theater district. Food was excellent and the waiter very attentive. Even saw a few “famous” people as well. Would highly recommend!

    It is such an intimate restaurant with a great vibe to it. I had the lemon shrimp risotto and it was fantastic. The Bolognese was also divine definitely a place to drop in before a show or after. The weight staff was also wonderful.

    Excellent food and price considering it’s New York City. Shrimp risotto with lemon zest was outstanding. Sausage pasta with a deep earthy pasta sauce amazing. Genovese pizza thin crust with pesto, caramelized, roasted peppers and onions. Excellent and plenty to share! The meal was not rushed and ambiance very casual but but elegant tables like eating in Italy. Wonderful dinner ! Save room for dessert and cappuccino or latte. The gelato desserts are enough for three to share if you order one. Excellent dinner and highly recommended Italian cuisine!! Reservations are a must.

    We had pre-theater dinner at Orso last night. We were promptly seated. The menu is small but varied. The entrees are appropriately sized. The waitstaff was attentive. We did not feel rushed. We will definitely come back.
