Not too many choices in Fredeicksburg to visit high end Italian restaurants and Orofino's tops them all. Service and quality are outstanding. Food is like what I ate at my Sicilian Grandmother's house when I was a young.

Food was very good. Started with rice ball appetizer, followed by caesar salad with anchovies, enjoyed both, salad especially was prepared nicely with shaved parm. Favorite main course was the eggplant with pasta, was very good. Our server Jefferson was also on point making great recommendations on food and drinks and had great follow up throughout the meal. Would highly recommend for "date night/celebration" type meal.

Authentic Italian. Truly the ONLY authentic Italian in Fredericksburg and it's wonderful. From the host/hostess greeting through all the service during the dinner, the service and exchanges with the staff are great --- engaging, knowledgeable, lively, and not overwhelming. The menu changes (by region in Italy) monthly or quarterly (can't recall) which keeps us going back over and over. Even though I always try the regional specialties off my husband's dinner plate, I find myself gravitating to my favorite dish over and over again --- Carbonaro. I love true Carbonaro with no cream and Orofino's includes just a tiny dash of cream that keeps it eggy enough to crave it. Love Love Love this restaurant.

First time that I ordered pizzas here...very disappointed...I have never had "charred" pizza crust which tasted burnt to me...the waitress and owner said it was considered "charred" due to the high heat of the oven...I grew up in the NYC area and have never in my like had a "charred" pizza! The salad was oaky, the service was good, it was very noisy...so, I would not recommend getting pizza there unless you like "charred" pizza!

An absolute gem! The food was AMAZING and I remarked to the manager that it tasted like my Sicilian nonna was cooking in the kitchen. He informed me that the owner and chef is Sicilian and learned from his nonna! The pizza crust was perfect, the servings were generous, prices VERY reasonable, and the service was impeccable.
