We love Orso. We both had the skirt steak that was delicious and prepared perfectly. It was a generous portion served with potatoes (yum!). The Buffalo mozzarella served with cherry tomatoes and pesto was a favorite. And of course the tiramisu is perfection. We highly recommend this restaurant! Great service too and a pleasant noise level is a plus.

Orso is always reliable and a great pre-Broadway meal oft with celebrity sightings (two last night!). Menu could use a refresh, as could the ambiance. But good food, good service, reasonably priced. Enjoy!
