    Overall, an amazing experience. Great food and service. They could use some table candles and could serve some good, crusty Italian bread. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    L'Orcio is among the finest restaurants in Connecticut. Its homemade pastas are exquisite. The gnocchi are little pillows of love floating in a sea of happiness, regardless of which sauce is to your taste. The gorgonzola sauce on the perfect temperature steak is extraordinary. Cocktails are expertly prepared. The wine list has choices for every palate. The back patio when open for the season will transport you Tuscany.

    Another great evening at this dependable eatery. From the moment we entered the warm, friendly atmosphere to finishing our last bite of deliciously prepared dinner we were so happy we’d decided to come. Highly recommend.

    Service was adequate but no more than that. Tomato and mozzarella salad was tasteless as was veal saltimbocca. How do you make saltimbocca tasteless? Tiramisu was delicious but portion was small. Dinner for two included: Two cocktails, one shared appetizer, two entrees and one shared dessert totaling a whopping $120.00. Suffice it to say I will not be returning.

    Our friends are getting married in Italy this year. We wanted them to experience a real Italian meal … not the Italian-American food found at many Italian restaurants. L’Orchio delivered perfectly! The food was exceptional — grilled vegetables, kale Ceasar salad, beet salad, gnocchi sorentino (to die for!), branzino, etc. Service was excellent. We were seated upstairs at a corner table that was quiet enough for good conversation. Such a wonderful evening!
