Wonderful Dinner - Sadly closing at end of November.

by vegaslocal

We live in the area and eat out often. We finally made it in to Orso an had a delightful meal.

Our server was excellent (he spoke french to another table). The service and food was very good and I was hesitant due to the bad reviews on this site.

We will be back at least one more time before they close down at the end of this month.

• Pros: Gorgeous heated patio, very good pasta
• Cons: Closing soon.

HORRID HORRID HORRID place

by jongil39870

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 left. She was sassy and curt and so rude it was unbelievable! Not cut out to be a waitress. If you hate your job as a waitress, why be one? The bread was stale when it finally arrived. Drinks are horrible. They use a mix to make a margarita. No fresh lime in the house? This restaurant is like the vortex of crappy food and bad service. I don't know how they can get away with calling their 'pizza' pizza. It's low quality flour mixed with water crust, and flavorless tomatoes. So much oil you could have filled a car with it. Sick. The meat was cheap costco quality. The fish was on the last day of its life. Cheap wine. Servers who text on the floor in front of diners. Trashy servers that act like they've been there since the dawn of time. They did NOT care about our experience which was horrid. AND THE BILL. Oh my god. for this horrible service and crappy food, our bill came out to $50 a head! Four of us at $200! I would pay this at Mozza, but here?! It was not much better than Macdonald's quality food. Ugh. I will NOT return to this hole. They should bomb this place.

• Cons: Food is disgusting. Wait staff is rude and stupid.

Very Disappointed

by cdlindsey

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 salad. It took 50 minutes for us to get bread which we had to ask another wait person to bring. Our wait person was completely checked out and didn't have a clue about the menu. The entree doesn't include any vegetable or side dish so basically everything is ala carte and the entrees are $30.00. We were there at 7:30 and they already ran out of Orange Roughy which was what two of us wanted to order. I ended up ordering the Salmon which was very average and again had no side dish. I remember Orso being a special wonderful place to eat and now I will never go back. Not to mention they took the best thing off the menu which was their Seafood Risotto.
