Review by Eveline Breitenberg

Orso's is a delightful find in Chicago, boasting a cozy atmosphere with lovely historic decor and a live piano player serenading diners. 🍷

I had the Tortellini Prosciutto and Jalapeño Gnocchi, both bursting with flavor - definitely the highlights of the meal! The portions are massive, making it excellent value for a mid-range spot.

Service was friendly and attentive, though I was bummed their espresso machine was down, which gives me an excuse to return! If you’re looking for a quaint Italian dinner or brunch, this is the place to be! ☀️
