Editorial reviews from the web (4)

A "Theater District standard" since 1983, this "enjoyable" Restaurant Row Italian is touted for "delicious" dishes dispatched by a time-sensitive "staff of would-be actors"; while the interior is rather "plain" and reservations can be a "problem", the chance of "seeing Liza Minnelli" keeps the crowds coming.

A surprisingly sophisticated -- and actuall good -- Italian on Restaurant Row, this is everything Becco should be but isn't. A great pre-theater choice, but it isn't super cheap. No all-you-can-eat pastas here.

Orso Restaurant Review

This two-level Restaurant Row trattoria attracts the Broadway theater crowd, including actors both famous and obscure. Start with the rosemary-olive oil pizza bread or potato and ricotta gnocchi in tomato and basil sauce with buffalo milk mozzarella. Move on to main courses like grilled salmon with a lemon zest risotto; cast-iron roasted, grass-fed steak with mashed potatoes and spinach; or...

Orso is, in my opinion, the best restaurant for either pre-theater or after-theater dining. It is our go-to place. reservations are often hard to get. But if you can, the food is wonderful!

Orso never disappoints. Very consistent. Staff is professional and very friendly. Menu changes daily and is always interesting. Ambiance is casual and fits the tasteful decor of the restaurant. Food is just the right balance of creative but not too fussy. Combination of flavors is at times unexpected and always works. You can taste the food without being overwhelmed with a heavy hand of spices...

Orso is located on Theater District/Restaurant Row attracting the Broadway theater crowd of both performers and theater-goes. This bustling spot offers Italian fare including their ever-popular grilled tuna, and Mascarpone cheesecake.

Orso is a Italian, Eclectic, and Seafood restaurant where most Menuism users came for a family meal, paid between $10 and $25, and tipped between 15% to 18%.

Reservations are hard to come by at this airy theater district favorite. (Call at 11:00 a.m. exactly one week ahead of the day you plan to visit. The day will be booked within the half hour.) The menu offers salads of asparagus, taleggio and tomatoes, and of scallops, calamari and mussels, as well as first course pastas like farfalle with goat cheese, grilled radicchio, pistachios and cream,...

The most important part of a literary agent's day is lunch, and this is the place many of them go to. It is also a favorite of New York's theater set, making it a place to see minor celebrities. Close to Broadway, Orso is a cheerful, well-lit spot with an open kitchen and a boisterous crowd, and it is especially buzzing at lunch. The Italian menu ranges from pizza to such dishes as Carpaccio...

Know Before You Go

Although reservations are highly recommended, it can be somewhat difficult to obtain a pre-theatre reservation, 8 p.m. or lunch is a safer bet.
