Amazing by Nora Rodgers on 4/6/2021

 

It was a very nice experience. The looks of the restaurant are always inviting and captivating. The food presentation was very excellent and at the same time, it was all delicious and tasteful. I couldn't have asked for better customer service from them. This restaurant is already perfect for me. I will recommend them to everyone without any doubt.

Great Italian restaurant tucked away in this town with amazing f by Sasha L. Miller on 12/22/2020

 

Great Italian restaurant tucked away in this town with amazing food, service, and hospitality. I felt like I was in Italy again. We had the arancini balls, squid ink pasta, and the ravioli special, which were all so delicious! We loved the vibe, and they had excellent service. I would love to visit sometime again soon.

I strongly recommend this restaurant. by Claire Mcdonald on 12/16/2020

 

The serving of their food is very substantial, and it is very cheap, given its size. Also, the staff are very attentive. Ordering and getting the bill is relatively faster than in other restaurants despite the place being always jampacked with people. They say their serving time is 30minutes, but they usually serve your food faster than that! I strongly recommend this restaurant.

This is a perfect restaurant! by Marlene Neal on 12/16/2020

 

This is a perfect restaurant! We have been lucky enough to have dined at this restaurant over the years and must say this might be the best we have ever been to. Everything served was spectacular!! The food, the experience, the service, all top-notch! When we plan our next trip, this will be the very first place we book.

delicious foods and drinks! by Jareth Martinez on 11/24/2020

 

It was an excellent eating experience! From walking in the door, and being greeted by the staff working, seated and drink order taken. Also, the meal here was served hot and excellent taste. Even the waiter that served my order, he was very friendly and helpful. Honestly, I enjoyed eating and relaxing in your restaurant. It was worth it and satisfying. Thank you for the delicious foods and drinks!

wonderful restaurant by Iolo Thornton on 11/24/2020

 

It was never a concern that there’s a well-known restaurant that captured my wondrous moments together with my beautiful soon wife to be. They served in our table all the foods, wines, and desserts. I was delighted with their excellent treatment and accommodation. My fiancée and I were happy to be here at this wonderful restaurant. One thing was for sure, the recommendations that I made reached to all of my friends. Thank you!

I should highly recommend you to everyone! by Essa Holt on 11/23/2020

 

Great place to eat for dinner! A week ago, my cousin and I came here to have our dinner. We love their foods because it was delectable and mouthwatering. I can say that the chief who prepared those specialties was so brilliant when it comes to cooking. Thank you so much, guys! I should highly recommend you to everyone!

Highly recommended! by Lucia Mckay on 11/23/2020

 

I had a wonderful meal with the team here. The food was high quality and the staff was all very attentive. Food is expected to be that expensive knowing the location and this a fine dining restaurant, but once you tasted the foods, you can really say that it was all worth it. Never disappointed! Really good service! Highly recommended!

I would recommend this to everyone! by Joan Li on 11/23/2020

 

Yummy in my tummy! We spent our day here for lunch. It was a day when I needed comfort food and everything we ordered was spot on! In fact, writing this review and looking back at my photos, makes me wanted to head back there again very very soon! The food is satisfying! I would recommend this to everyone!

AWESOME by Kimbery Crist on 10/18/2020

 

I enjoyed the family time that I had in this restaurant last week. It was also a good thing that I wasn't the only one who enjoyed the ambiance and the food because my husband and my kids surely did also. The service was served well, and we will definitely come back! This restaurant is definitely recommended! Thanks a lot, by the way!

PERFECT by Tasha Casey on 10/14/2020

 

This restaurant was top-notch! We had dinner last night, and the waitress was adorable and full of personality. She was attentive, entertaining, and knowledgeable. She is an asset to this restaurant and deserves a lot of kudos. Not to mention, everything was delicious! We will definitely be back soon.

Thanks again! by Avery Cardenas on 10/12/2020

 

I’ve dined in this restaurant twice, and I would come back again if I’m craving Thai food! Their Pad Thai was authentic and good and not as spicy as I’ve requested. The soup was good as well as the pomelo salad and green papaya salad. I would recommend this restaurant for excellent Thai food. Thanks again!

These are really good by Abul Rivas on 9/11/2020

 

I went to this restaurant for lunch, and I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. All of the staff know exactly what they are doing and do it professionally. They serve foods very quickly and carefully. A homey and comfortable environment in the restaurant. Highly recommended!

Yummy by Charles Molloy on 9/11/2020

 

Hi! I am just making this review to let you now that I and my partner were very happy the way you treated us tonight. We had the best wedding anniversary dinner-date ever! It is very memorable because not only you gave us the most delicious and delectable dishes, also you gave us a FREE bottle of wine as a gift! Thanks, guys!

A good place! by Kitty Clifford on 9/11/2020

 

Love the ambiance. Nice food and excellent service staff. Will return to this place somedayA great place for a drink and a bite to eat, the food was amazing best bar food I have tasted currently. Considering the great taste the price is worth it, and the drinks are in good selection and taste. Will be coming here again.

Great by Austen Adams on 9/10/2020

 

The best Italian restaurant in the city! We had our lunch here yesterday with my workmates, and the ambiance was elegant and classy but within the budget. Their pasta is truly amazing and we had also their Tortelli Di Polenta, and it was so delicious! Definitely, I will be back and dine here with my family.

Delicious by Ebony Foley on 9/10/2020

 

Impressive and affordable restaurant near me! I was so happy that I had a good time eating tasty foods in this restaurant. I was also so grateful to the staff who was so honest in returning my car key that was left on the table. I thanked John for being honest. You deserve to be at the top list, guys! You're strongly recommended!

Excellent staff! by Teresa Rose on 9/9/2020

 

Very stratifying and affordable dishes are available in this wonderful restaurant. I thanked their staves for being so accommodating and friendly. I was so surprised when one of their waitresses served my food quickly. Very satisfying service here in our area! Highly recommended restaurant!

food was excellent by Maddie Rawlings on 9/8/2020

 

Service was fantastic and the food was excellent. Grilled octopus was my favorite. The burrata sampler was also very good. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the raviolo.

The price is great. by Kaylee Mcconnell on 9/8/2020

 

We visited this a couple of times already and let me tell you the quality was always great. The quantity of food in comparison to other places is much better and the price is great.

The food tasted great. by Habiba Allison on 9/8/2020

 

I have not been to all the restaurants in LA but I do not disagree with the #1 rating. The food tasted great.The food was fine and the service was fine, but in this day of wonderful restaurants, just fine me. Food was just great, and the service was polite.

Awesome experience by Johnny Douglas on 8/20/2020

 

Nothing but positive comments here! This restaurant really has amazing service and the best set of foods to choose from. I really enjoyed my time here, and I would like to commend these guys for making my dining experience memorable. I will definitely tell all of my friends about this restaurant because they are truly amazing, and the foods are all worth it. Good job, everyone! I humbly thank you!

Excellent service! by Lillian Guzman on 6/17/2020

 

Came here for valentines dinner as a surprise, and it totally was the best option and one of the best higher end price point meal I have had in LA. If I can give six stars out of five for the entire experience (food, service, ambience, wine choice, comfort level) I definitely would.

Satisfying food by Betsy Caldwell on 6/11/2020

Great service by Itzel Funk on 6/10/2020

 

I went to this restaurant together with my friends. Honestly, we greatly enjoyed spending our time here, for the foods and drinks were yummy and OK. Besides, the waiters/waitresses that were working there were all very friendly and nice to the customers. The place was even clean, comfortable, and stylish, and it was perfect to visit again and again. Great service!

I will recommend this place to my colleagues. by Vanesa Randall on 5/18/2020

 

Truly one of the best restaurants I have ever visited! The chicken was tender and juicy and not too thick. A very tasty layer of cheese, which was nice and gooey. The restaurant also knows how to make a pleasing pasta appetizer! And the staff are very helpful and attentive to our needs.

love the foods! by Deandre Gower on 5/18/2020

 

A very classy nice restaurant! A warm welcome, followed by excellent service, with a lot of attention to details to please you. The service always with a smile and very patient with us.

Love the foods! by Shelley Houston on 4/22/2020

 

My best friend and I decided to go to this Italian Restaurant nearby. We both love to eat Italian food, and surprisingly, the food was superb! The waitress greeted us with a genuine smile, and they quickly assisted us in our seats. The menu also explained thoroughly, and they will answer all your questions sincerely. I strongly recommend the place!

Great service! by Marius Copeland on 4/20/2020

 

There is no better seafood restaurant anywhere in the world! Whenever we have the opportunity to visit, our first call is to call this restaurant for reservations. Adventurous? The chef's tasting menu and the food is worth every single penny! Each dish surpasses the one before it, and every single one is ambrosia for the gods! We will definitely come back!

GREAT FOOD!! by Aneesa Aguirre on 4/6/2020

 

If you're reading this, chances are you're already waiting in line or thinking about getting in the line to see if it's worth the hype (it is). Do yourself a favor and check their twitter account. They update with the wait time hourly (like a Disneyland ride). If you can get off work or school, the best times to go are probably Monday-Thursday around 2pm-4pm when the line is somewhere between 30-40 minutes.

Thanks for the food! by Zoey Roberts on 4/6/2020

 

I do recommend this restaurant to my friends and family! They entertain me nicely when I was having a bad mood with my work. The staff wears a smile that made my mood change. Also, he served me rightfully. When I taste the food that he served me, it was delicious. Gosh! I was right that I choose to eat at your restaurant. Thanks for the food!

GREAT FOOD by Lee Mccormick on 4/6/2020

 

There are other small foodie shops around the Plaza that are definitely worth exploring. There is boba spot by the escalators, that has the absolute best boba Chinatown. This place has a real cool vibe to it.

great staff!!! by Lynsey Farrington on 4/2/2020

 

It was beautiful-peaceful and relaxing. Staff was outstanding. The restaurant was exceptional along with the hosts and servers.We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the King and Prince. Everything was perfect. We dined in the restaurant at the hotel and it was delicious and the service was excellent. We played golf, went shopping downtown, rode the trolley and just enjoyed sightseeing on this beautiful island. Love it all and want to come back to visit soon.

tasty food! by Aaisha Bonner on 4/2/2020

 

The poolside common areas are great with chairs and umbrellas for free. Also the servers are ever present to provide whatever you like from their cafe menu. My wife is hard to cook for since she has to special order for low salt. The chef nailed it perfectly. That was memorable.

great experience by Haya Morris on 4/2/2020

 

we loved everything about the King and Prince and will be returning same time next year. This is the sixth year we have spent the same week at the King and Prince and look forward to it all year long.

tasty food by Arissa Searle on 4/2/2020

 

Lovely lunch today. Ordered the crab cake sandwich and was pleased by the quality of the crab cake, as well as the nicely toasted roll, thick slices of ripe avocado, and crisp hot bacon which accompanied it. The side of fresh fruit was also generous and perfectly ripe. A very good experience! Add this to the best dining view on the island on a gorgeous Fall day, and it adds up to perfection!

In Short
Modeled after a New York trattoria of the same name, a die-hard showbiz clientele comes for the food--and the stunning back patio. The menu changes daily to incorporate seasonal ingredients. Thin-crust pizzas are topped… Read Full Editorial

HORRID HORRID HORRID place by jongil39870 via Citysearch on 10/21/2009

How many waiters need to come to your table during the course of one meal? We asked for bread from 3 different waiters before getting any. And the red haired troll waitress who finally brought it was so rude to us that we almost got up and…

Very Disappointed by cdlindsey via Citysearch on 11/15/2008

I went to Orso tonight with 4 friends for my birthday. I have been to Orso many times, but haven't been for atleast 3 years. The prices have gone way up especially for the salads which are $15.00 and I find that excessive for a standard…

Terrible Service and very mediocre food - pretty much a blue hair place. by irisheyes3 via Citysearch on 9/1/2008

My friends took me to Orso for my birthday dinner this past Saturday night and it was so disappointing! I've known about it for years and thought they had a great patio and great food - NOT! Our waitress was rude, barely gave us the time…

Where's the service? by TVFood via Citysearch on 6/15/2008

My girlfriend and I went to Orso last night....Actually we didn't end up staying. We sat down around 8 and 15 minutes later, we got up and left. From the time we sat down, no one came over to take any orders. Not even a drink order. To top…

HORRIBLE SERVICE... THE WORST...DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY by annefisher via Citysearch on 10/27/2007

Let me tell you about Orso, LA location. I went for a friend's birthday. We had 5 at a table for 8. When we realized that 3 weren't coming they refused to seat us at a smaller table. They made comments when I arrived that I was…

Service Please? by superhungry via Citysearch on 1/27/2007

I am alway surprised when people tell me how much they like Orso as the one time I was at this restaurant the service was extraordinarily bad. I know some of my more famous acquaintences say that their parties are regularly doted on here…

One of the best in the city by botlife via Citysearch on 4/7/2006

I have been to Orso's close to 10 times. I have yet to have a bad experience. The food is more authentic than most. So I am a little suprised by some of the other reviews. The risotto is to die for and the pasta is fantastic. My only…

Everything is good but the food! by nearbyneighbor via Citysearch on 2/21/2006

orso not okay by bigfatcat via Citysearch on 12/5/2005

I was eagerly awaiting my introduction to Orso, alas you never get a second chance to make a first impression. The service is more than indifferent, bordering on rude. You also never know who your waiter is, since anyone will come to your…

Consistantly Great by dnelsonpt via Citysearch on 8/30/2005

I am always impressed with the food here. I have never had a bad dish. They do one of the best risotto's in town.

Pasta works here by gcerrone via Citysearch on 7/6/2003

Orso consistently serves great Italian food. The pastas are some of the best in the city. The atmosphere is nice with the outdoor patio and privacy offered. The waiters are indifferent and slow and the only consistent negative about…
