    Very simple - very italian menu. Close and intimate. You may see some famous theater people or politicians to chat with. Many years on 46th St. Great before or after the theater

    Orso is a great pre-theatre establishment. Service is great. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. The decor is just OK, but when everything else is so good, it can be overlooked.

    So missed Orso when it closed during/after the pandemic. LOVE the food and service and it couldn't be more convenient to the theater district. GREAT pasta and meats, lovely house wine, a winner and often in the past a great spot to see Broadway royalty.

    I was very disappointed that liver was not on the menu. That is by far my most favorite meal at ORSO and I associate the restaurant with its unusual and wonderful preparation of liver.

    Perfect pre show meal. At the last minute we had to increase our reservation with one extra person. The hostess accommodated us graciously. Our server was outstanding. Food was delicious.
