Orso Restaurant

About Orso Restaurant

Seeking Orso restaurant in the heart of London’s Covent Garden? Find the understated etched-glass doors on Wellington Street, then 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 rustic modern Italian cuisine with major buzz pre and post theatre. Truly Italian, from its ingredients to the waiters who serve it, the menu changes daily with the market. Orso’s wine list is entirely Italian except for the fizz. For lunch, pre-theatre dinner or supper after the show, this former orchid warehouse provides a delightful dining experience.
