completely amazing!! – If you're looking for a romantic spot any night (or day) of the week for simply amazing italian cuisine and a delightful atmosphere, Orso's is the place to be! The interior is semi-formal complete with white linen tableclothes, chandeliers and a pianist. During the summer months, the outdoor dining area is simply amazing - covered in a canapy of grapevines. A true dining experience!! And the staff is warm and friendly and makes you feel right at home.

Love this place! – The two restaurant areas are nice but different. The entrance area is louder, while the smaller room with the piano can be very romantic. The tables are small with candles and the room is tight but the atmosphere is great. The dress is casual like most italian restaurants. The food was very good in my opinion. I've eaten the manicotti as well as the chicken vesuvio with potatoes on seperate occasions and enjoyed both. I don't remember the service being bad or slow as stated in another post.

Comfortable Italian bar and trattoria attracts a crowd of Old Town regulars. – In Short This restaurant is split into two narrow, comfortable rooms, one is a bar with tables, booths and a piano squeezed in; the other a dining room that opens for dinner. In the summer, a bi-level outdoor space is available for dining. The menu brims with Italian classics, such as whole grilled calamari in warm vinaigrette, risotto, tortellini soup, pizza, and chicken Vesuvio with roasted potatoes.

overrated – I do not agree with the other reviews at all. I went on a Saturday evening and sat in the front garden area. After ordering an appetizer we waited for our server for more than 20 minutes to return to take our dinner order. My boyfriend had to go inside to ask the hostess for our waitress! Then finally when we got our food, lets just say they were mediocre at absolute best. My lasagna was bland and tasted like a microwave meal. Gross! I will not return to Orso's.

Good Italian fare – It was a little cramped when we walked in, but the hostess and bartender were both very nice and welcoming. Once we sat down, the meal was very good. The atmosphere reminds me of a restaurant in "The Godfather" and overall, we walked away feeling good about our experience. The house Merlot was sufficient, but there is also a wine list. I would like to come back and dine outside when the weather is warm.
