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.
