Orso

This is actually our second time at Orso, and I am absolutely ashamed that I didn’t get around to reviewing it before now. Perhaps subconsciously I don’t want it to get overrun with folks flocking there due to their STELLAR food and service….and did I mention that I don’t share well?

This time, we started with the Trevisano Salad: apples, grapes, goat cheese and walnuts. It was a great melding of flavors and started the meal out beautifully.

Next, I decided to forgo the typical fish I normally order and went with the rigatoni alla Bolognese. I love a good Bolognese and this one exceeded my expectations. Paired with the slight chewiness of the rigatoni, it was perfect. So much so that I continued eating after I was full, as there was no way I was going to let any of that meaty goodness go to waste.

To finish, we ordered the caramel gelato. It had a nice toasty caramel flavor and was a great ending to our meal. Orso is on our short list of places we’ll return to again and again.

Small restaurant with knowledgeable staff and great food. Pretty murals on walls and just a very nice experience.
