Highly recommend this restaurant! The house salad was the best salad I’d ever had. The cocktails are wonderful; the tender even accommodated my special request. The entrees were sumptuous; we got the Italian sausage pasta and the salmon. We travel through Charlottesville twice a year and dine here on our way up and back each year. It’s my favorite part of our trip. Service is excellent.

I had a really bad experience at Orzo tonight. The owner/ manager and the waiter were extremely RUDE. The food was sub par or inedible and the service was terrible. This restaurant came highly recommended , but was greatly disappointing. This is the first time I have ever had such an awful restaurant experience…thus prompting me to write my first bad review.
