Orso’s is hands down one of the best restaurants in Chicago! As a long time customer (17 years and counting), I have always enjoyed dining at Orso’s for many reasons. One of the primary reasons is that I grew up in a small, northeastern Ohio to...wn mainly inhabited with large, Italian families like mine! The small local business aspect in conjunction with the family-owned model always have been two elements which have kept me coming back! It makes me feel like I am in my hometown - and let’s not forget about the delicious food, exceptional service, wonderful wine selection and fantastic prices!!!
Because a friend of mine used to work there as well, I started having private events at Orso’s. This became a new family tradition in which case my loud (yet fun!) Italian family and I rented out the back patio during a few winters. A special shout out to Chris and the entire staff for putting up with my group! We always had a blast!
Shortly after hosting a family event in late February 2018, I went on a first date in March 2018. If you can believe it, my date at the time chose Orso’s. I had lived nearby at the time yet he no idea this was one of “my places”. Needless to say, that man made a great choice, we had a fabulous date and 3.5 years later, we had our rehearsal dinner on the Orso’s back patio just this past August 6, 2021!
While I initially worked with Sienna during the venue booking and pandemic postponements (she is part of the family) who I adore, she moved on to a different adventure and that leads me to Dalia! I met Dalia in person a few months before our event, and we instantly chatted as if we were old friends! She is so kind, and she picked right up where Sienna left off which made the transition easy! What a great hiring decision! A special thanks to Dalia and the team who created a memorable and incredible event for our families and friends!
Working with the team at Orso’s over the years has been seamless, fun, and very organized! No detail goes unnoticed and the service staff always delights us!
Brett and I can’t wait to come back on dates as host events for years to come. This is, after all, the place where I fell in love with my now husband!
Thank you again to Dalia, Chris and everyone for such a great experience! See you soon! ;-)
