" First-time diner at Orso's and I left rather underwhelmed. While the atmosphere was great, I felt my meal lacked flavor. The seafood pasta was too bland for my taste, despite the abundance of shrimp and clams. The service was fine, but I think I expected something more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at Orso's! The atmosphere is enchanting with live music. I had the Eggplant Parmesan, which was decent but not stellar. Service was friendly, but they seemed short-staffed. Nonetheless, I'd go back to explore their other offerings, especially on a busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been going to Orso's for years, and it's always a highlight. The food is consistently good and the service friendly. They have a lovely outdoor seating area perfect for a summer evening. Special shoutout to their Tiramisu—one of the best I've had! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed with the food at Orso's. It didn't live up to the expectations from the reviews I'd read online. The service was fine but a bit slow. I had a spaghetti dish that was mediocre in taste. The setting was lovely, but overall, I felt let down. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Orso's last night and it was an adventure in flavors! We had the Capellini Melissa and it was as delightful as expected. The ambiance was warm with a unique rustic touch. Our server was professional, albeit a bit slow during peak hours. A fantastic experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Orso's is a gem! The pasta dishes were superb, especially the Penne Alla Vodka. I particularly appreciated the vibrant flavors and generous portion sizes, which made the meal even better. The wait staff were friendly, although a bit rushed. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this place if you're in the mood for authentic Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed for the most part. We visited Orso's and thought the reputation would give us a great dining experience. The service was okay, but some dishes like the risotto were lacking flavor. The desserts could have been better as well. Maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen? " (*Curated Review*)
