The food was top class, the best Italian restaurant I have experienced. It was not like your usual run of the mill typical Italian restaurant, however it was not overpriced either, not cheap but most definitely worth the money for the quality of food. I will most certainly return.

We've been regular diners for a number of years and have yet to be disappointed or less than 100% pleased with the overall experience. The only complaint we've ever had is the lack of changes to the menu (which we've gone through a number of times) other than a couple of specials. A new menu is now coming and it's a great excuse for our next visit in a few weeks. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oro.

ORO at the Pumphouse is hidden away in a quiet location, when we arrived we received a warm welcome. There is a good selection on the menu, but not too wide, the house wines are well chosen, the service was excellent; attentive but not intrusive, the food very good both in quality and quantity.

Friends arrived first and were scowled at when they informed the waitress the party may be one short (5 instead of six). Food heavy and rather bland. Main courses brought out in a disjointed fashion - two roasts arriving without vegetables a good five minutes before the other three mains. Limoncello brought out as an apology despite waiting staff repeatedly being told that three of the five dining were driving. Gave up waiting for someone to take payment after 25 minutes and went to bar to pay. Restaurant could be so good - venue could be amazing. Incredibly disappointed.

Excellent food combined with fantastic service from Marco and his small team. Having just returned from a week's holiday in Tuscany we were keen to try and recreate the experience in Durham and Oro didn't disappoint with food more than a match for anything we'd tried the week before. For my wife and I Oro has moved from a special occasion to a regular dining spot such is the quality of the place. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

First time here and had a very nice evening at ORO. The food was very good and we all enjoyed our different dishes very much. Great choice on the menu and a good wine list too. Staff were very helpful and very polite, also unobtrusive which is always a bonus. The restaurant was fairly full and had a good atmosphere, not noisy but certainly not a library either. Only slight point to note was the time it took to get the bill. Will certainly go again and would recommend to anyone else
