Orso never fails to deliver, both in terms of tasty, beautifully flavoured food and friendly warm service. We have been for breakfast, lunch and this time, dinner. All menus have a great choice of thoughtfully put together eastern/Mediterranean dishes. It's so hard to choose!! We...More

Visited Orso for the first time in a while recently and was very impressed with what we were given. I tried a bit of everyone's dish and all tasted fantastic. Warm lamb pies on offer for lunch are well worth a try too. Highly recommend.

Can't say enough good about the food and service at Orso. We tried many apps, mains, and desserts, and all were delicious! Great service as well. Highly recommended! The restaurant also offers many vegetarian options.

Great food and nice friendly staff. It's a shame there is not more space as I felt tables were too close together.

Love the international dishes. Great flavours great tastes great dish selection. Only drawback is its a small restaurant and waiting times can be long. Food needs to be seen and tasted to be appreciated.
