" I was excited to visit Orso based on the rave reviews but found my experience to be somewhat average. The spaghetti was okay, not bad but not memorable either. The service felt rushed, and the server seemed a bit distracted. It might just have been a busy night, but it affected how I felt about the experience. The atmosphere was nice enough, and it was conveniently located near the theater, so I can see why others enjoy it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Orso is a cozy little Italian spot great for a quick meal before a show! The risotto was creamy, although not the best I've had. The ambiance is perfect for a casual gathering and the service was friendly and fast. I would recommend it but keep in mind it's not extraordinary! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Orso enough! The seafood pasta was the highlight of my meal, packed full of fresh flavors from the ingredients. The service was top-notch, and they made us feel at home the entire time. If you're looking for authentic Italian before a show, this is your place! Overall, I had a truly enjoyable experience and I'm already looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Orso for a special dinner before a Broadway show. The food was sensational, featuring fresh pasta that truly tasted homemade. We ordered the tagliatelle with wild boar sauce, which was fantastic. The service was friendly but felt a bit slow. Still, the ambiance was warm and inviting. A solid place for pre-theater dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Orso’s location is perfect for a quick bite before a Broadway show. However, I found their pasta dishes lacking in character. The portion sizes were fair but the quality of the food did not impress me. Thankfully, the service was accommodating. I would say it's fine for an easy meal, but not a destination restaurant by any means. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Orso was nothing short of amazing! The ambiance was romantic, with dim lighting and soft Italian music. The homemade pasta was by far the highlight, honestly, I can hardly recall ever having better. Service was excellent—our server was very knowledgeable and gave fantastic wine pairings. I highly recommend trying this place before a show in the theater district! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited for dinner at Orso but left feeling let down. The menu didn’t have much variety, and my main dish was bland. It was a shame because the service was good and the ambiance was friendly. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong things, but I wouldn't describe it as authentic Italian. More of a tourist trap feel to it. " (*Curated Review*)
