Wow. From the salmon to the risotto everything was amazing and delicious. The service was impeccable. The dinner for 5 came out at the same time and was set in front of us at the same time. Very impressive. Oh and the entrees were all hot right out of the kitchen.

Exquisite upscale Mediterranean dining with a great atmosphere. Started with the Gazpacho soup and a great light starter to the meal. The grilled fish of the day was swordfish and it was excellent. The flavors blended together amazingly. Will definitely be back for more.

Very yummy and friendly spot. Sat at the bar with my fiancé and the bartender explained everything so well and was very nice as well. Some of the menu changes every 4mos which is fun and unique. Will definitely be back!

First, I give this lovely little restaurant extra points for creativity, carving out a niche by trying to encompass a variety of Mediterranean cuisines. Both my wife and I were pleased with our wines, starter courses and I had a lovely cocktail as well. Our server was attentive and reliable and engaging when it was time to engage, including when we asked him some questions about himself. I had a remarkable garlic almond soup to start and then a tasty pasta dish as my entree. Flavors were well balanced and presentation was on-point. Because we were dining in the spring, we opted to be seated outside, which is on the front sidewalk area. If one is looking for a creative and unique dining spot off the beaten path in Charlottesville, I’d recommend Orzo.

OMG this place is to die for! Worth the money! Hands down great service our waiter was Robert and was very laid back and very welcoming. I loved the food I got the lamb and my guest had the sirloin and IT WAS TO DIE FOR. Also got the bruschetta as a appetizer. Lord yall get in here and eat. Very hearty and yummy food. I forgot our cooks name but thank you to him and ROBERT. We will be back to see you.

Excellent food and service. Our server was busy, but the host at the front noticed our drinks were getting low and immediately came and asked if we need anything. He personally went to bar and got our drinks. Complimentary olives were delicious, as was the salmon and steak.

Great European/Continental fusion cuisine w/a unique wine list. The waitstaff wasn’t snobby about it and walks you through the different wines and their profiles. Nice atmosphere, but does get pretty loud when crowded. The food was well worth the noise though.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a clean resturant. I enjoy having an open kitchen and you can watch them make your meal. We had the spaghetti pomodoro and the Speing Orchettie. Both were flavorful and seasoned well.
