Orso's

Indoor and outdoor seating (with heat lamps ). House made pasta - very good. Jalapeño gnocchi was spicy but delicious. Seafood ravioli was also a hit at our table!

What a gem. The weekend piano is really nice for the ambiance. It's not your typical Old Town stop. Traditional Italian. Calamari alla griglia was nice and tender as were the sausage and peppers .

Excellent genuine Italian food . The outdoor atmosphere under grapevines was magical in the early evening. Good service and reasonable prices as well . Also live piano music indoors.

Tiramisu (made in-house)

SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE (Spaghetti with homemade Bolognese sauce )

The pizza was very tasty. Love their back outdoor dining area .

CALAMARI ALLA GRIGLIA

Delicious food and low key atmosphere. Weather-permitting, sit in the grapevine adorned wine garden in back.

Great food and and service! The lasagna was amazing and Alex was a fabulous server!!!

The food was good, not anything extraordinary. It was reasonably priced. They had a piano player which was great.

The worst Italian, ever. There is nothing Italian about their food, the ingredients are bought from supermarkets and you can experience the most surprising combinations-like grilled calamari with soy

Beautiful backyard patio , good grilled calamari , but really bad, oily, poorly-seasoned Caesar salad . Pastas were good!

Look out for all the little white floaties. It looks like dandelions but the waitress says its from a cotton tree . We are kept busy trying to keep them out of our food and drink.

Spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce

2 for 1 pizzas for lunch on Wednesdays! It wasn't the best pizza in Chicago, but it was good.

Ask for Franco, the owner, an try the typical dish from Rome, Spaghetti Amatriciana! It's not on the menu ... But they can make it.

Spaghetti with meat sauce

Spaghetti with meat sauce . .

The filet is really good, nice atmosphere. The hostess was rude.

Linguini with clams

The entire staff of Orso's is top notch! Lunch for local business is unbeatable.

A wonderful experience enjoyed by everyone in my party.

Solid neighborhood Italian restaurant

The food is incredible!! Mind blown.
