Lonely Planet review for Orso

This restaurant is like a stepping into a Tuscan country inn only there's modern art all around and soft jazz floating into both dining levels and the bar. Its entrees are Mediterranean grill with an Alaskan twist, its pasta is made fresh daily and everything is served by a waitstaff that knows how the chef prepares it.

    Good service, good food, good music.

    Orso is my favourite restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is good. Orso is next to Glacier Brewhouse and has a lot of beers and wines on the menu. The root beer is made at Orso and they have some of the best in town. The salmon mushroom ravioli is tasty. If you don't go for a meal, go for dessert.; Orso's chocolate cake is to die for.

    Overrated

    section8 recommends this,

    The food is ok, but but not great. The portion sizes are sane (not supersized) but the prices are high and do not reflect that.

    The food is overdone. I think if they simplified the flavors and combinations, it would be improved.

    I also doubt the claim that they make their own pastas.

    The setting is nice and the wine list is good.

    In all, you probably won't be disappointed, but there are better options in Anchorage.
