Orzo Kitchen & Wine Bar is a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The restaurant is known for its varied Italian cuisine and its innovative concept of presenting dishes from different countries every few weeks. The atmosphere is fine dining with a great atmosphere, good lighting, and close but not cramped seating.
The service at Orzo Kitchen & Wine Bar is impeccable, with waitstaff like Steven who stand out for their friendliness and attentiveness. The food is exquisite, with dishes such as sirloin, pork, and beef, as well as a seasonal fish option, that delight the palate. However, the lamb tagine is a standout dish, where the blend of flavors is impressive and surprising, creating a unique and novel experience. The beef Bolognese pasta is also a must-try, with beautifully prepared pasta and consistently great meat in every bite.
The dessert options, such as the cardamom cake and the olive oil cake from Spain, are also highly recommended. The restaurant's Moroccan dishes are a highlight, and the waitstaff is happy to explain the menu to those who may suffer from selection anxiety. The restaurant has a dress code, and it is recommended to make a reservation in advance. The meal is worth every cent, and the quality of the food and service makes every visit worthwhile.
