About Orso Restaurant

Seeking Orso restaurant in the heart of London's Covent Garden? Find the understated etched-glass doors, make your way down the terrazzo stairs and emerge center stage in a scene right out of 1950's Milan. A zillion black and white photographs of film and theatre actors star the pale terracotta walls, colourful glazed Italian crockery gives a trattoria feel, and flattering lighting and soft colours give the theatrical vintage A-list clientele a gentle glow. A sparkling hubbub fills the air. Orso is a long-running, sophisticated hit serving modern Italian country cuisine with major buzz pre and post theatre. Truly Italian, the menu changes daily with the market, the wine list's entirely Italian except for the fizz. The pizza assortment suits all-day grazing. Bienvenido, bella.

There is a 2 hour turn around on all tables.
