Orso's

Hmm how do I describe the interior of Orso’s? When we walked in, I felt like we were walking through the inside of a 50’s style vintage bar with soft red lighting, a full bar on the left and on the right, there are little booths on the side set with mini chandeliers hanging above the tables with a grand piano in the back. After walking through the front part after walking through the first one we were taken to the other side of the room where my friend said it felt like we were sitting in a hallway. The food is not bad, we had the baked clams- I would definitely recommend those. And then we ordered the porkchops (MAIALE AL VESUVIO) and a pasta dish (FUMIGATO) to share. We finished with the TARTUFO. I had a good experience but I am not sure if I would just go back here for the food.

Dishes I tried:

MAIALE AL VESUVIO

Was not impressed with this dish, the porkchops were overdone and tough and the dish was way too salty for me.

I loved this pasta dish – the sauce was very creamy and had a little kick to it.

This was awesome, it looked like an upside cupcake when they brought it out to us but it is hazelnut chocolate ice cream goodness!
